7.06.13
Lectio: Lk 10.1-12
Meditatio: "Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God is at hand’.” Lk 10.8-9
Oratio: "O God, You provide for out total needs - both body and soul!
I remember Your Son instructed his first disciples to not only proclaim the Kingdom of God is at hand but also to cure their sick and His followers have been doing so down through the ages.
Grant that I may be always mindful of both the spiritual needs and the material needs of those I serve and do what I can to help them in body and in soul.
I ask all things in the name of Jesus who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Contemplation: spend a few moments in silence and reflect on the selected passage and its import for you.
Operatio: reflect on "kingdom of God is at hand”; John the Baptist’s proclamation; Jesus’ proclamation; His disciples’ proclamation; God has drawn near and has invited us to be with Him forever in His kingdom; all He asks of us it to love one another and to love Him; in prayer seek the grace to live in accord with the great Law of Love and to show it by not only words but by deeds.
Tomorrow's reading: Mt 0.18-26
