5/29/12 Lectio: 1 Pt 1.18-25 Medtitatio: “You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and abiding word of God.” 1 Pt 1.23 Oratio: "O God, You are amazing and so kind and generous! I remember You have enabled us, finite human beings; to become imperishable through the grace of Baptism. Grant that I may always rejoice in the divine life I received at my baptism and live in mutual love in accordance with this great gift. 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 "born anew”; baptism; rebirth by water and the Holy Spirit; divine life poured into our souls; become God’s children; sustained by God’s word; in prayer ask for the grace of gratitude for this great gift of divine life and share it with others by living in accordance with the great Law of Love.
