Oratio - Our third rung is Oratio
This is the step where most people try to begin their mental prayer, but in doing so, they are missing the first two vital rungs that set the on dictions for prayer. But having gone through both lectio and meditation, we have received food for thought from God in Scripture and we can respond with prayer. This is a good time to engage in praise, adoration, thanksgiving and petition in addition to talking with God about the subject of our meditation in the previous steps. While vocal prayers that we recite may be very formal, the Hail Mary, Acts of Faith, Hope and Love, and the Our Father, come to mind, mental prayer is usually much more informal. It is the prayer of a child speaking to their father or one friend speaking to another.
