Lectio: Lk 4.14-22a

Meditatio: “He [Jesus] said to them, ‘Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing’.”Lk 4.21

Oratio: "O God, You first sent prophets to prepare for Your Son’s coming and finally You sent Him in the fullness of time for our salvation.
I remember Jesus proclaimed that He fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah for he brought glad tidings for the poor, freeing captives, curing the blind and granting a Jubilee Year. - and He demonstrated His claim by His deeds so we would know our salvation is at hand.

Grant that I may always accept the teachings of Jesus and put them into practice to show my acceptance of His saving message..

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 today on the graciousness of God in sending His Son to us so that we might be saved; and then give Him thanks and praise for all He has and is doing for us.
Tomorrow’s reading - Lk 5.12-16
