1.29.14

Lectio: Mk 4.21-25                                                           

Meditatio: “He [Jesus] also said to them,’Take care what you hear. The measure with which you measure will be measured out to you, and still more will be given to you’.” Mk 4.24

Oratio: O God, You want us to be fair in treating others for that is Your way.                

I remember Jesus called people to take care about how they measured for that is how they will be measured.

Grant that I may always remember the old adage, “Do unto others, as you would have them do to you.” And then seek the grace to abide by this principle and God will be pleased and we will be fair in our judgments.

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"you measure ...measure to you”; measure in this context means to judge. We must remember that judgment is the Lord and in our making judgements that we can only see things from the surface, and therefore should always give the other the benefit of the doubt. In prayer seek to be fair in judging others and seek the grace to abide be the Golden Rule. And if we do, God will in the end give so much more.
