1.22.14

Lectio: Mk 3.7-12                

Meditatio: “Hearing what he [Jesus] was doing, a large number of people came to him also from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from beyond the Jordan, and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon.” Mk 3. 8

Oratio: O God, how fickle we are!

I remember large crowds from all over the region came out to see Your Son, to listen to His preaching and to receive healings; yet when it was time to decide who should live and who should die, they did not choose Him but a common criminal - How sad! How fickle!

Grant that I may remember the wonders of His preachings and the wonders of His life, and always seek to put into practice the Good News He preached.

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"Hearing...large number”; Jesus’s preaching and healings attracted many from many places in the region; yet no one supported Him on Good Friday;  in prayer seek the grace to keep His command to love one another as you love yourself for therein lies to core principle for our salvation and by doing so, Jesus’ coming will not be in vain for us and that is the best way to express our gratitude to Him for all He did and all He continues to do for us..
