Lectio: Mk 4. 35-41

Meditatio: “They were filled with awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?’ Mk 4. 41

Oratio: "O God, You know our need for a solid foundation for our faith and so You sent Your Son who used divine power to draw followers.
I remember Jesus and His disciples were caught in a squall at sea and they were in danger of sinking. He simply said, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ - And the wind and the sea both grew calm.. What an awesome display of power.

Grant that I may rejoice in the many miracles Your Son worked and especially the Eucharist by which He remains real and personal for us today.

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: Skim the Gospel of Mark, the Gospel in which Jesus acts - l and jot down the citation and miracle that Jesus worked so that the divine underpinnings of my faith may be strengthened.

Tomorrow’s reading - Mt 5. 1-12a
