4/21/13;

Lectio: Jn 10.1-10

Meditatio: "So Jesus said again, ‘Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep’." Jn 10.7

Oratio: "O God, You sent Your Son to us so that we might more easily come back to You.

I remember Jesus declared that He was the gate for the sheepfold; that i.e., the door through which we enter Your kingdom.

Grant that I may always listen to the \voice of Jesus so that I might find the Gate open to me for that is the ultimate purpose of my journey.

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 "gate"; the moveable part which opens or closes a room or a sheepfold or the like; Jesus - the gate of the kingdom of God; in prayer ask fo the grace to always follow the voice of Jesus and He will make sure the Gate to the Kingdom of God is always open to me.
