7.22.12 Lectio: Mi 7.14-15, 18-20 Meditatio: "And [God] will again have compassion on us, treading underfoot our guilt? You will cast into the depth fo the sea all our sins.” Mi 7.19 Oratio: " O God, You are so kind and merciful to us. I remember Your prophet, Micah, declared Your compassion for us and Your casting into the sea our sins - how merciful of You! Grant that I may always turn to You when I sin, and seek Your forgiveness knowing You are only too eager to grant it. I ask this an all things through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes. Operatio: reflect on "compassion”; suffer with; mercy rather than justice; St. Faustina revealed that Jesus justice is His compassionate mercy; in prayer seek the grace to daily venerate the Divine Mercy image and say the chaplet so as to place myself and my loved ones under the merciful protection of Jesus.
