Lectio - Lk 9.22-25

Meditatio: “Then he said, ‘If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up is cross daily and follow me’.”Lk 9.23

Oratio: “O God, you revealed the sure way to you.

I remember Jesus said it in denying one self and taking up one’s cross and to follow His ways that leads to You.

Grant that I may do so by discerning Your will for me and doing it for that is at the heart of Jesus’ advice.

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.

Operatio: Do what God wants of me today.
