Lectio: Jn 8.51-59
"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.” Jn 8.51
Meditatio: "O God, how magnaimous and generous You are.
I remember Jesus proclaimed that if we keep His word we will be given a wonderful exchange - a short life of active belief here on earth for eternal life of joy and happiness in heaven.
Grant that I may always receive the grace of faith and be obedient to Your Word.
Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
Operatio: Reflect on God’s generosity - eternal life for a short life of active belief here on earth. Resolve to always give thanks to God for His great generosity and for the gift of faith and the grace to live out that faith.

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.
