LECTIO;
Brothers and sisters:
To him who can strengthen you,
according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ,
according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret for long ages
but now manifested through the prophetic writings and,
according to the command of the eternal God,
made known to all nations to bring about the obedience of faith,
to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ
be glory forever and ever. Amen.

STUDIUM:
Good Grief, Paul! This is one long salutation! However, it's at the end of this letter to Romans. It's called the Final Doxology. A doxology is a hymn of praise to God. Is one of Paul's titles "Saint of verbosity?"
MEDITATIO:
I get it, Lord. You are God. You are omnipotent, omnisciencent, and we owe everything to You.
ORATIO:
I join Paul in praising You for your love and care, especially giving us Your Son, Jesus.
CONTEMPLATIO:
Thank You, Jesus, for loving me.
RESOLUTIO:
I must never, never, forget to praise and give thanks to God.
