- Silence: Recollect, meditate, breathe
- Lectio: Read the words, Savor the words, Listen to the words
- Meditation: Repeat a word or phrase which speaks to you this day, deepen awareness, stir memories
- Oratio: Let prayer form from the phrase or words
- Contemplation: Listening for God’s response, be still in the presence of God.
In January of 2010, a small group of parishioners at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Williamsburg, Virginia, joined together in morning prayer and reflection on the Rule of St. Benedict. We began reading Joan Chittester's daily reflections on the Rule in her book, The Rule of Benedict: Insights for the Ages, and continue as community with daily readings, in Morning Prayer at the church on Wednesdays, and on these pages.
