10.13.13

Lectio: Lk k 17: 29-32
           
Meditatio:"Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation." Lk 17.30    

Oratio: O God, You so much want us to return to You and You have always given us the call to reform our lives so that we would be able to return to You.

I remember You did this through the prophets of old through their preaching and You did it in a most spectacular way when You sent Your Son to preach as a sign to His generation as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites;  and then through His passion, death and resurrection He would be a sign for all generations.

Grant that I may respond to the call to reform and to show my response by striving to live in accordance with the Great Law of Love.

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: "Jonah...sign"; Jonah was a powerful preacher; Jesus was a powerful preacher and so much more; so people should have seen in Jesus’ preaching, a sign that the Spirit of God is on Him and calling them back through Him. In prayer seek the grace to reform as Jesus calls me to do.
