Lectio - Jn 8.12-20
Meditatio: “ Jesus spoke to them again saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life’.” Jn 8.11
Oratio: "O God, you did not want us to be in the dark about you and your great love for us.
I remember you sent your Son to be the light of the world so that in knowing Him we would know You.
Grant that I may bask in Jesus’ light through prayer, scripture reading and most especially in receiving the Eucharist for therein lies our experience of Your love in this life.
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: Today, I will strive to see others in the light of Jesus.
About Me
- Father Mike
- I was ordained for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia on May 15, 1993. I am a widower with 8 children and 24 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. On July 1, 2014 I began my residence at St Mathew Parish in Philadelphia, PA. My last assignment was pastor of St.Elizabeth Ann Seton in Bensalem, PA since November of 1999. I have created this Blog in response to Pope Benedict XVI's recommendation that Priest use modern means of communications to reach out to people with the Good News. I publish daily my Lectio Divina efforts via a group email. I will publish such efforts from time to time to this site as well as other pertinent info about the Good News of Jesus Christ or issues which are contrary to the Good News. What is Lectio Divina? Lectio Divina is the Study of and Meditation on Sacred Scripture. The steps include: Reading (Lectio),- Pondering (Meditatio); Praying (Oratio) and Silence(Contemplatio). I use the daily Lectionary as the source of readings.
