Lectio - Lk 6.17, 20-26

Meditatio:”Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.” Lk 6.20

Oratio: “O God, eternal happiness is your gift to us. I remember Jesus reminded those who are poor now, or who are hungry, or who are persecuted, or who are cast out now for their belief in him will have their condition reversed in your kingdom for he declared them blessed.

Grant that I may avoid undue attachment to material things so that I may always be poor in spirit in this life and happy with you in the next.

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.
