Lectio Divina With An Orange

Take an orange.

Lectio: 

Look at the orange.  Examine its shape, feel, and smell.

Studium:

Peel the orange.  Examine it.  Feel it.  Smell it.  Break it apart into sections.  Examine them.  Feel them.  Smell them.

Meditatio:

Taste each section.  Savor the taste of each one.  Let your mouth feel the texture and juice.  Eat each section slowly.

Oratio:

Praise God for creating this fruit.  Tell Him about how it tastes and what you think about it.  Thank Him for the orange.

Contemplatio:

Ah....just rest in the pleasure of the orange and God's love for creating the orange for you.  "Thank you Jesus for oranges."     Amen.
