If you can, read something from the Bible, especially from the New Testament.
If you can, read something from the Bible, especially from the New Testament and the Psalms. Read with intent to receive some spiritual enlightenment, inclining your heart to compunction.
Having read a little, pause and reflect on what you read, and then proceed further, listening to what the Lord suggests to your heart.
St. Platon, Archbishop of Kostroma
