7.20.11
Lectio: Mt 13.10-17
“But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.” Mt 13.16
"O God, You revealed Yourself to us through Your Son.
I remember Jesus declared blessed those who see and hear what He did and proclaimed and who You are.
Grant that I may readily accept what I see in the actions of our Holy Father and what I hear him proclaim for he is Jesus’ vicar and the Father’s emissary.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on “seeing” and “hearing” in faith - it means being able to hear and see rightly what Jesus has proclaimed and which has been handed down to us through the infallible teaching authority of the Pope and the bishops united with him.
Tomorrow’s readings: Jn 20.1-2, 11-18
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.
