5.17.11
Lectio; Jn 12.44-50
"I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.” Jn 12.42
"O God, how generous You are!
I remember You sent Your only Son as a Light for us so that we would not be in the dark as to who You are and what You want and so that we might bask in Your light forever.
Grant that I may always see Jesus as the Light of the World and keep His words for they eternal light and life.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on the darkness that would pervade if Jesus had not come. How did Jesus’ coming illumine things? Then thank God for sending us such a Loving Light.
Tomorrow’s reading: Jn 13.16-20
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.
