3.26.12
Lectio: Nm 21.4-9
Meditatio: “and the Lord said to Moses, ‘Make a seraph and mount it on a pole, and if anyone has been bitten looks at it, he will recover.” Nm 21.8
Oratio: "O God, You are our protector and strong support - both in physical and spiritual needs.
I remember You instructed Moses to make a bronze serpent and place it upon a pole and anyone who was bitten by a poisonous snake would be healed - how awesome!
Grant that I may ever grateful to Your Son for His willingness to be lifted up on the cross so that death would have no power over us and we might live forever with You - how generous! How stupendous!
Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
Operatio: Reflect: "bronze serpent”; a foreshadowing of the cross; the healing effects from sin which the cross brought about; in prayer thank God for being so kind and merciful and loving. .
Tomorrow's reading: Dn 3.14-20, 91-92,95
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.
