10.22.13

Lectio:   Lk 12.39-48                            

Meditatio:”That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely.” Lk 12.47

Oratio: O God, You ask so little of   us but You do ask us to do Your will.
|
I remember Jesus told the crowds that those who knew Your will and failed to act accordingly will be severely punished.

Grant that I may always keep in mind who I am and who You are and act according to the tenets You have revealed for that is all You ask of me if I wish to be with You for all eternity - so little, for so much!
\
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: "knew...will, not act”; we can easily know God’s will for Our Lord has revealed His will for us through the prophets and the apostles and their successor; in prayer seek the grace to be ever faithful to God’s will which is summarized and made known in the Great Law of Love.
