5/30/12 Lectio: Zep 3.14-18a Medtitatio: “"Shout for joy, O daughter Zion! Sing joyfully, O Israel! Be glad and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem! Oratio:"O God, You do not want us to live in a vale of tears. I remember Your prophet, Zephaniah, told the people to shout for joy for the Lord is in their midst! Grant that I may show similar exuberance because the Lord is in our midst in His real and personal presence in the Eucharist. Alleluia! 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 "be glad and exalt"; a grand and heightened feeling; joy which fills the heart; a great delight; in prayer thank Jesus for drawing near and remaining with us in the Eucharist. Tomorrow’s reading: 1 Pt 4.7-13
