Lectio Divina

Lectio divina comprises four elements: lectio (we read the text), meditation (we meditate the text), oratio (we pray the text), and contemplation (we live the text)…Reading (lectio) is a linear act, but spiritual (divina) reading is not—any of the elements may be at the fore at any one time.
