9.28.14

Lectio   Jn 1.47-51                              
                  
Meditatio: "Jesus saw Nathaniel coming toward him and said of him, ‘Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him’.” Jn 1.47


Oratio: O God, how You want us to be people of integrity.             .

I remember Jesus praised Nathaniel for being a man in whom no duplicity is found. In prayer seek the grace to be a true child of God and reflect integrity in all in that I do for that is what is meant to be a child of God.

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: "Nathaniel....true....no duplicity”; duplicity means: trick, deception, dishonesty. The opposite is ‘integrity.’  Integrity is is what Jesus admired in Nathaniel and what He wants all His siblings to have for that is what is meant to be a true child of God, a true brother or sister of His.. In prayer seek the grace to one in whom no duplicity is found.
