1. MEDITATION In meditation one approaches the scripture passage like a love letter; this approach is especially helpful in praying poetic passages.
METHOD:
+ Read the passage slowly, loud or in a whisper, letting the words wash over you, savoring them. + Stay with the words that especially catch your attention; absorb them the way the thirsty earth receives the rain. + Keep repeating a word or phrase, aware of the feelings that are awakened. + Read, and reread the passage lovingly as you would a letter from a dear friend, or as you would softly sing the chorus of a song.
