10.27.15

Lectio: Lk 6.12-16                                             

Meditatio: “In those days he departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to                      God.” Lk 6.12
                                                            
Oratio: O God, Jesus not only prayed to Yo u but He spent a great time at prayer. If He had a felt need to do so, how much more should we! Pray that you set more than enough time aside to commune with God and especially through Jesus and through Mary.                  
                                                    
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 & meditate on the selected passage and hear what  God speaks to you,

Operation: reflect: "departed....pray... spent...night”; what an example Jesus gave us as to the importance of prayer! Seek the grace to set aside daily time for private prayer and we will find  that time will prove to be the most beneficial time of the day for us.
