3.27.12
Lectio: Dn 3.14-20, 91-92,95
Meditatio: “Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed, ‘Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who sent his angel to deliver his servants that trusted in him, they disobeyed the royal command and yielded their bodies rather than serve or worship any god, except their own God.” Dn 3.94
Oratio: "O God, You are all-powerful and You want us to trust in You for our sake.
I remember three of Your servants in the time of Daniel were cast into a fiery furnace because they refused to worship another god and You rescued them from certain death - Wow!
Grant that I may always trust in You and allow You to determine the outcome of my trust.
Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
Operatio: Reflect: "trust”; a confidence in another; reliance; God is all-trustworthy and alla-knowing; in prayer thank God for my many blessings and for the grace to always trust in His Divine Providence. .
Tomorrow's reading: Gn 17.3-9
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.
