How do we pray with Sacred Scripture?
Spiritual reading of Sacred Scripture, especially the Gos-pels, is an important form of meditation. This spiritual reading is traditionally called lectio divina or divine read-ing. Lectio divina is prayer over the Scriptures.
1. The first element of this type of prayer is reading (lectio): you take a short passage from the Bible, pref-erably a Gospel passage and read it carefully, per-haps three or more times. Let it really soak-in.
2. The second element is meditation (meditatio). By using your imagination enter into the Biblical scene in order to "see" the setting, the people, and the unfold-ing action. It is through this meditation that you en-counter the text and discover its meaning for your life.
3. The next element is prayer (oratio) or your personal response to the text: asking for graces, offering praise or thanksgiving, seeking healing or forgiveness. In this prayerful engagement with the text, you open yourself up to the possibility of contemplation.
4. Contemplation (contemplatio) is a gaze turned toward
Christ and the things of God. By God's action of grace,
you may be raised above meditation to a state of seeing
or experiencing the text as mystery and reality. In con-
templation, you come into an experiential contact with the
One behind and beyond the text.
