10,04.13

Lectio:  Lk 10.17-24                                                
                     
Meditatio: “For I [Jesus] say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.” Lk 10.24

Oratio: O God, how You have privileged us!                                   

I remember Jesus told of the privilege of being His disciples for as His disciples we see and hear what prophets and kings longed to see and hear but did not see nor hear - what a great blessing for simply being a disciple of Jesus.

Grant that I may be ever mindful of my discipleship and proclaim the Good News especially by the life I live so that more and more people will come to know the Lord and become disciples. And they, too, shall be richly blest!

I ask this and all things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Contemplatio: spend some time in silence and meditate on the selected passage and hear what
God is saying to you.

Operatio: reflect on "see...hear...but did not”; to experience the Son of God first hand is the privilege of discipleship and we best experience Him today in the sacraments and especially in the Eucharist; in prayer seek the grace to always remain faithful to my calling as one of His disciples and to reflect that faithfulness in living a life in accordance with the Gospel.
