Lectio - Mk 7.14-23

Meditatio: "Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile.” Mk 7.15

Oratio: "O God, your ways are true and uplifting.

I remember your Son made it clear that is not what we eat that defiles, but what comes from the heart. He thereby opened the way for the Gentiles to accept the good news.

Grant that I may have a heart impregnated with your wisdom so that I may love you rightly and give you worthy praise.

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.
