1.31.14

Lectio: Mk 4.35-41                                                                                 

Meditatio: “They were filled with great awe and said to one another, ‘Who then is this whom even the wind and sea obey’?” Mk 4.41

Oratio: O God, You sent Your Son to us with great power so that people would more readily believe in Him.          

I remember Jesus spoke and violent winds and sea immediately grew calm  - Wow! Yet, His disciples were only astonished and they would continue throughout His public ministry appear to be dense as to Who Jesus is.

Grant that I may be grateful for the many manifestations of Your Divinity which You give for our edification and to draw us to faith and for the many manifestations of the divinity of Your Son; and may I have the grace to be open to the many ways You make Yourself known for it is for my benefit and for the lives of those I touch.

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"Who...wind and sea obey”: The question should have been Why for the answer to the question Who should have been obvious; in prayer thank God for loving us so and for manifesting so clearly in Jesus that we should put our faith in Him for our salvation and for the salvation of those whose lives we touch.
