Lk 18.35-43
Meditatio: “What do you want me to do for you? He replied, ‘Lord, please let me see’.” Lk 18.41
Oratio: "O God, in You have deemed that faith brings great blessings for us.
I remember Jesus cured the blind man at Jericho because the blind man believed Jesus could - how awesome!
Grant that I may have the gift of a strong faith in Your Son so that my death will be only the beginning and not the end for me.
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: Reflect on my faith in Jesus. What undergirds it? Resolve to share those underpinnings with those who are struggling with their faith.
Tomorrow’s reading - Lk 19.1-10
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.
