Lectio: Mt 11.11-15
Meditatio: “Amen, I say to you, among those born of women, there is none greater than John, the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom is greater than he.” Mt 11.11
Oratio: "O God, what greatness You have in mind for all of us.
I remember Jesus proclaimed that the least in Your kingdom is greater than John, the Baptist, who had the great privilege of being the precursor for Jesus - How You must cherish us!
Grant that I may live as a true child of Yours and make You proud.
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 great dignity God has in mind for me and then give Him thanks and praise for being so good to me and to all of us.
Tomorrow’s reading - Mt 11.16-19
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.
