6.17.11
Lectio: Mt 6.24-34
"Can you be worrying add a single moment to your life span?” Mt 6.27
"O God, You are aware of our needs and of our greatest need - life; and You have provided for it in a most wonderful way.
I remember Jesus preached about our worrying about our needs and our life span for He assured us that You know our needs and You will provide for them.
Grant that I may seek the kingdom and strive for the righteous and allow You to be You.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on worry - At the heart of it is our desire to be in control of what we are not. Resolve to pray and hope and not worry knowing in faith that Jesus already has provided us life after death to those who believe in Him. Jn 3.16 .
Tomorrow’s reading: Jn 3.16-18

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.
