3.15.12
Lectio: Hos 14.2-10
Meditatio: "I [God] will be like the dew of Israel, he shall blossom like the lily.” Hos 14.6a
Oratio: "O God, Your words of old echo even in our days and they are spirit and truth.
I remember You prophet Hosea said of You that You would be like the dew for Israel and Israel will blossom.
Grant that I may realize Your presence and rejoice each every day that on our Altars Your Spirit descends on our gifts like the dewfall.
Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
Operatio: Reflect: "dewfall”; vital moisture for parched land; and the Spirit is vital for parched souls; in prayer thank the Holy Spirit for his presence not only on our altars every day, but in our daily lives to light, to guard, to rule, to guide us.
Tomorrow's reading: Hos 6.1-6
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.
