"Holy Reading."- slow reading, seek to know God, Holy Scripture, can be a book about Scripture.guided by three principles: belief that text is God's gift to us, belief that reading it slowly over and over will profit us, and belief that God will speak to us through the text.
Lectio ( holy reading) leads to meditatio. Meditatio (in one of the above forms) leads to oratio (prayer, lifting our hearts and our minds to God), which leads to contemplatio (contemplation, being still in God's presence and allowing him to possess us).
