Steps

1

Say one word of the Our Father aloud or in the silence of your heart.

Let it echo in your mind, delighting in it so long as meanings, comparisons and consolations are found.

No matter how long it takes, remain with that one word without hurrying on. 

2

When you are ready, move on to the next word and once again let it echo in your mind.

3

When you have finished your time of prayer, briefly pray the remainder of the Our Father.
