Lectio - Jn 21.20-25

Meditatio: “It is this disciple who testifies to these things and he has written them, and we know his testimony is true.” Jn 21.24

Oratio: "O God, in Your wisdom we are to rely on human testimony about things You and Your Son.

I remember the evangelist who wrote the Gospel of John made this clear when he wrote: ‘We know his testimony is true’ as he concluded the good news about Your Son and what He said and did.’

Grant that I may rely with confidence on the Pope and the bishops in union with him when they speak or write about faith or morals for You have given them to us a reliable source of Your truth.

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 and everyday when I questions about faith arise, I will look for the teachings of the Church for answers and allow any doubts to fade away like the morning clouds.

Tomorrow’s selection is from Jn 21.20-25
