A design reference

A lectio-style listening practice

Offer a contemplative sequence without requiring chat or recorded responses.

Design proposal · User validation required
Entry

A chosen passage and a clearly attributed practice structure.

Proposed flow

  1. Read or listen

    Present verified Scripture and the selected edition.

  2. Reflect

    Repeat a chosen portion or offer an optional question.

  3. Pray

    Offer authored words, editable assistance or silence.

  4. Rest

    Use an untimed pause or a timer chosen by the person.

  5. Close

    Finish or retain a private question; saving is a separate choice.

Recovery and alternative routes

This is one adaptable lectio-style proposal, not a universal liturgical prescription. Traditions and accessibility needs may call for another sequence. Distress must not be made into a mandatory lesson.

What counts as a complete outcome

Quiet participation is complete; no journal entry or progress score is required.

Decisions within this flow

20 · Audio and guided practice
