Lectio - Mk 6.53-56

Meditatio: "Whatever villages, or towns, or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel of his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.” Mk 6.56

Oratio: "O God, what power you have!
I remember the sick of the region on Gennesaret touched only the tassel
of your Son’s cloak and they were cured.
Grant that I may always realize the healing power of touch and by you compassionate hands to those in need.
I ask this of you, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.”

Contemplatio – Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.

Note: Tomorrow’s selection is from Mk 7.1-13
