SUMMARY OF THE TRADITIONAL STEPS:
1. LECTIO (Reading): slow, prayerful reading of text, listening to the Word; perhaps two or three times
2. MEDITATIO (Meditation/Thinking): mulling over a particular word or phrase what strikes us, reflecting, thinking, wondering, connecting, puzzling
3. ORATIO (Praying/Conversation): our response in prayer: talking, wondering, asking, thanking, praising, saying sorry etc
4. CONTEMPLATIO (Contemplation/Adoration): gazing with the heart, below the level of the mind, silent, being present to the Lord himself (who speaks through this Word), resting in Him, quietly conscious of Him and his presence
5. ACTIO (Action): what is our response, what will it lead to, what do we need to change, what do we resolve to do; we live what we have learned
