6.25.11
Lectio: Jn 6.51-58
"I am the living Bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; an the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” Jn 6.51
"O God, You are a God of mystery and miracles.
I remember Jesus declared He is the “living Bread” and He will give us his “flesh” to eat; and He does through the Eucharist every day.
.
Grant that I may always partake of the Eucharist knowing that it is Jesus whom I eat and who gives me life.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on the Eucharist - It is Jesus who comes in a real, personal and loving way every time I receive it and who nourishes me with His life so that I may have eternal life - how awesome.
Tomorrow’s reading: Mt 8.18-22
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.
