The phrase "Oratio, Meditatio, Tentatio" is a Latin maxim that outlines the life of a theologian according to Martin Luther, the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation. Here's what each term means:
- Oratio (Prayer): This is the starting point of a theologian's life, emphasizing the importance of prayer in seeking God's guidance and understanding.
- Meditatio (Meditation): This involves deep reflection and meditation on the Scriptures, going beyond surface reading to internalize and understand the deeper meanings of the biblical text.
- Tentatio (Testing or Trial): This refers to the trials and challenges that theologians face, which serve to test their faith and deepen their reliance on God and His Word¹.
Luther believed that these three elements were interconnected and cyclical, each one reinforcing and deepening the others, thus shaping the life and work of a theologian. This process is not just academic but deeply personal, involving the heart and soul as much as the mind.

It is unclear who runs the account, although Russia's official Ministry of Foreign Affairs Twitter account promoted the Telegram channel on Saturday and claimed it was operated by "a group of experts & journalists." That hurt tech stocks. For the past few weeks, the 10-year yield has traded between 1.72% and 2%, as traders moved into the bond for safety when Russia headlines were ugly—and out of it when headlines improved. Now, the yield is touching its pandemic-era high. If the yield breaks above that level, that could signal that it’s on a sustainable path higher. Higher long-dated bond yields make future profits less valuable—and many tech companies are valued on the basis of profits forecast for many years in the future. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. The picture was mixed overseas. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 1.6%, under pressure from U.S. regulatory scrutiny on New York-listed Chinese companies. Stocks were more buoyant in Europe, where Frankfurt’s DAX surged 1.4%.
