Lectio: Gal 4.22-24,26-27.31-5.1
Meditatio: "For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to slavery." Gal 5.1
Oratio: " O God, how wonderfully You made us and how wonderfully we have been recreated through Your Son.
I remember Christ set us free from the Mosaic Law so that we might enjoy the freedom of the Great Law of Love.
Grant that I may follow the Law of Love and basks in its true freedom all my days.
I ask these and 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 "freedom"; not constrained; ability to act and do what I will; in prayer thank God for the freedom I enjoy by virtue of the great Law of Love and then for the grace to follow it all my days and enjoy true freedom.
Tomorrow's reading: Gal 5.1-6
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.
