3.23.12
Lectio: Jer 11.18-20
Meditatio: “Yet I, like a trusting lamb led to slaughter, did not realize that they were hatching plots against me.” Jer 11.19a
Oratio: "O God, You watch over us but that does not mean bad things do not happen to good people.
I remember Your prophet, Jeremiah, lamented that the leaders of Your chosen people plotted against him and they succeeded.
Grant that I may realize Your loving care means You will never abandon me no matter how dark the night and that one day You will bring me to the place of Light and Joy with where You are.
Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
Operatio: Reflect: "trusting”; reliance on others; expecting good from another; In prayer thank God for His loving care and ask for the grace to always place my trust in Him for He will never disappoint in the end.
Tomorrow's reading: Jer 31.31-34
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.
