Lectio: Mt 18.15-20
“For where two or three are gathered in my [Jesus] name, there am I in the midst of them. Mt 18.20
“ O God, how wonderfully You treat us.
I remember that is only two are gathered in Jesus’ name, He promised to be in the midst of them - how awesome! How joyful!
Grant that I may always be mindful of Jesus’ presence when I pray with others.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on “in the midst of them”- first, need to gather in Jesus’ name; second, need to do so in prayer; third, need to be mindful of Him; fourth, His presence assures us that our prayers are heard and of their efficacy. How great, for so little effort on our part!
Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 6.65-11
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.
