Oratio: ""O God, how generous You were in days of old; and how much more today!
I remember You promised in Moses time to grant us length of days - 80 years, if we were strong, for keeping Your commandment to love our parents; but now You grant us eternal life if we follow Your commandment to Love! - How super generous!
Grant that I may be ever grateful and show my gratitude by living my life in accordance with the dictates of Jesus.
I ask this of You, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever.
Amen.”

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.
