Lk 21.5-11
Meditatio: “There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, plagues from place to place, and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky.” Lk 21.11
Oratio: "O God, there will be an end of time as we know it - but when?
I remember Jesus told us not to be deceived by those who tell us the end of time is near for when it is, there will be unmistakable and powerful signs that is it about to happen.
Grant that I may keep my focus on the end of my own life time and each day strive to walk in the ways of the Lord.
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 the second coming of Christ and the end of time. If I knew it was to happen tomorrow, what would I do today? Resolve to do it.
Tomorrow’s reading - Lk 21.12-19
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.
