Lectio: Jn 1.47-51
“Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him and said of him. ‘Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him’.” Jn 1.47
“O God, deceit is abhorrent to You.
I remember Jesus praised Nathaniel because ‘There is no duplicity in him.’
Grant that I may strive to always be honest and forthright in all things and in all dealings.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on “duplicity” - deceptive; dishonest, hypocritical, false. Resolve with God’s grace to be a person of love and integrity so that what people see and hear is what I am.
Tomorrow’s reading: Lk 10.13-16
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.
