Lectio: Is 11. 1-10
Meditatio: "There shall be no harm or ruin in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the Lord, as water covers the sea." Is 11.9
Oratio: "O God, what a destiny You have in store for us!
I remember Your prophet, Isaiah, proclaimed that in the end there will be ‘no ruin or harm’ for all will be immersed in Your ways.
Grant that I may anticipate Your destiny for me by living in peace and harmony now.
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 "water covers the sea"; complete immersion; in God’s ways; in prayer thank God for being so wonderful and seek the grace of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and then live by them for that is the best way of doing my part in the present to please my loving God.
Tomorrow's reading: Is 25.6-10a
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.
