6.11.13: Mt 5:17-19
Meditatio:" Do not think I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill it." Mt 5.17
Oratio: "O God, Your ways are the best ways and You have made them known.
I remember Your Son declared that He did not come to do away with Your decrees
and He gave us an easy way to fulfill all that You revealed - the Great Law of Love!
Grant that I may abide in love.
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 "abolish ...fulfill;" do away with; replace completely; Jesus taught and we need to comply with all the laws and the prophets; ask for the grace to love always and then I will be doing what God wants and I will abide in God and God in me for God is love.
Tomorrow's reading: Mt 5:20-26
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.
