7.25.12 Lectio: Jer 2.1-3,7-8,12-13 Meditatio: "Two evils have my people done; they have forsaken me, the source of living waters; they have dug themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that hold no water.” Jer 2. 13 Oratio: " O God, You have provided us with the means to eternal life from the beginning. I remember Your prophet, Jeremiah, declared You were the source of living waters but Your chosen people chose cisterns, broken cisterns - idols as the source of their living waters. Grant that I may realize that I am not self-sufficient and that in You alone I am made whole. 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 "living waters”; life-giving; God’s favors or graces or helps, in prayer thank God for the life giving waters He gives us and strive to always give Him the honor and praise He deserves.
