Lectio: Acts 2.36-41

Meditatio: “Peter [said] to them, ‘Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Oratio:"O God, You are so loving and generous to us.

I remember not only did You give us Your Son as our savior but You also gave us baptism so we could become Your children and then most generously gave us Your Holy Spirit - wow!

Grant that I may always show my gratitude by being a good child of Yours.
I ask this of You, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever.
Amen.”

Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.

Operatio: Reflect on "Holy Spirit”; the third person of the Blessed Trinity; God’s presence in to the world; fullness of the Trinity. In prayer say the beautiful prayer to the Holy Spirit. “Come Holy Ghost, creator blest, and in our hearts take up thy rest. Come with thy grace and heavenly aid, to fill the hearts that Thou hast made. To fill the hearts that Thou has made.”

Tomorrow's reading: Acts 3.1-10
