11.14.12
Lectio: Phlm 7-20
Meditatio: "But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that the good you do might not be forced but be voluntary." Phlm 14
Oratio: "O God, it is our will You want.
I remember Paul emphasized that the good You do will be a voluntary act. Grant that I may choose the good and give You the honor and praise You deserve.
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 "voluntary"; freely, without concern, in prayer thank God for giving us free will and seek the grace and freely choose the good so as to honor The Lord as I should.
Tomorrow's reading: 2 Jn 4-9
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.
