Lectio: Jn 17.11b-19
"And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.” Jn 17.19
"O God, You are the source of truth and You know that the truth will set us free.
I remember Jesus consecrated Himself in truth so that we may also be dedicated to truth.
Grant that I may imitate the dedication of Your Son for truth who died rather than deny it.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on truth - Why is the knowing of the truth so important? Do I realize that at my baptism I was anointed with chrism and thereby dedicated to a life like Your Son lived and thus I, too, have been consecrated in truth and I, too, must live it.
Tomorrow’s reading: Jn 17.20-26
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.
