4.16.12
Lectio: Acts 4.32-37
Meditatio: “The community of believers was of one heart and mind.” Acts 4. 32a
Oratio: O God, You are One in the Trinity and You desire us to be one, too.
I remember the first Christian communities were one in heart and mind and they thrived because of this unity.
Grant that I may be one in the Body of Christ and a member be a source of encouragement for others.
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 "one”; unity; indivisible; prime; in prayer thank God for His desiring that we all be one in Christ and that unity will incorporate us into the Unity and Trinity of God - how awesome for us!
Tomorrow's reading: Acts 5.17-26
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.
