3.20.12
Lectio: Is 49.8-15
Meditatio: “Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you.” Is 49.15
Oratio: "O God, we are like specks in the universe, yet You know and love us!
I remember through Your prophet Isaiah proclaimed that even if our mothers should forget us, You will never forget us.
Grant that I may rejoice and be ever grateful for such a kind and loving God as You.
Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
Operatio: Reflect: "forget”; gone from mind; abandoned; gone from love. In prayer thank God for loving me like my mother loved me and resolve to return that kindness with love and respect.
Tomorrow's reading: Ex 32.7-14
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.
