4.14.11
Lectio: Jn 10.31-42
"If I do not perform my father’s works, do not believe in me.” Jn 10.37
Meditatio: "O God, You are so far above us and You are not visible to us - yet You made it easy for us to believe in You.
I remember Your Son proclaimed that the miracles He performed were Your works and many believed in Him because they knew it was divine power at work.
Grant that I may be open to the multi-faceted ways in which You continue to be present in the world and rejoice that You have drawn near.
Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
Operatio: Reflect on where God is clearly at work in the world today. Thank God for the grace of being open to his presence and reflect that gratitude by doing what His Son commanded - Love one another as He loved us.
Tomorrow’s reading: Jn 11.45-56
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.
