Jn 1.47-51
Meditatio: “And he (Jesus) said to him (Nathaniel), ‘ Amen, Amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.” Jn 1.51
Oratio: "O God, how wonderful a destiny You have in mind for us.
I remember Jesus revealed that we will see angels giving praise and worship to Him - how awesome for us to be in the place of the angels.!
Grant that I may imitate Nathaniel and be a person in whom no duplicity is found so that I may come to the place of destiny promised to him.
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 reflect on the role of angels and allow them to energize and motivate me in giving the Lord praise and worship so that I may begin now to prepare for my final destiny.
Tomorrow’s reading - Lk 10.1-12
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.
