6.01.11
Lectio: Mt 28.16-20
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit.” Mt 28.19
"O God, You want Your kingdom and You love known by all.
I remember Jesus commissioned His disciples, right before He ascended to You, to go to all nations and make disciples and confirm their choice with baptism.
Grant that I may do my part to make the Good News known to others.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on my call to evangelize - How I do it as a lay person? How do I do it as a priest? Resolve to live by Christ’s decree all my days for a life well lived is the best way to attract others to the Good News.
Tomorrow’s reading: Jn 16.2-23
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.
