10.11.13

Lectio: Lk 11.27-28                                                                                                               
                     
Meditatio: “He replied, 'Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it'," Lk 11.28

Oratio: O  God how you want us for your own.

I remember that Jesus declared those who put Your words into practice are so important that they are ‘blessed’ in Your eyes,

Grant that I may always listen to Your words as revealed by the Catholic Church for my greater good and as the best way to please You who are all good and deserving of all my love.
God, how fixed in our opinions we are at times.

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: "hear...practice"; a dual response; listen and obey with a grateful heart for we are graciously blest for doing do so.

Tomorrow's reading: Lk 17.11-19
