6.27.11
Lectio: Mt 8.23-27
"The men were amazed and said, ‘What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and sea obey’?” Mt 8.27
"O God, what power You bestowed upon Your Son.
I remember that at His rebuke, the winds and sea became calm - how awesome!
Grant that when I am in dire straits to remember You are there with me so that I may have calm despite the turmoil and You will bring me safely to Your home.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on my trust in God - The God I believe in is so powerful that He was able to bring order out of chaos at the beginning of creation. Because He is so powerful and because He loves me and cares for me, I can and I must always put my trust in Him by putting my trust in Jesus.
Tomorrow’s reading: Mt 16.13-19
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.
