Meditative Prayer

Meditative recitation of vocal prayers is the practice of reciting a prayer like the Our Father phrase by phrase, carefully considering each phase, eliciting affections, and making petitions as you go. Saint Ignatius highly recommends this. Meditative reading is similar. Using Scripture, the Imitation of Christ, or a book of meditations such as Bishop Ottokar Prohaszka’s Meditations on the Gospels, we read a little bit at a time, pausing frequently to perform those same acts which constitute regular mental prayer.
