“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed…”(Romans 12). A Christian’s walk with Christ is a circle of transformation: Praying (Oratio), Meditating (Meditatio) & Suffering (Tentatio). Martin Luther’s advice on meditation, “Like a cow chews its cud so we are to chew God’s Word with delight and mediate with supreme diligence on it, so that one does not permit it to go in one ear and out the other, but holds the Word firmly in the heart, swallows it and absorbs it.” See Luke 8:15.
