19.21 to 10.23.15

10.21.15

Lectio: Lk 12.49-53

Meditatio: “Jesus said to His  disciples, 'I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!"

Oratio: O God, You so loved the world, You gave us Your only Son, and Your Son so loved the world He gave His very life for us, and he so much wants all of us to set the world on fire with selfless love. Pray that we may love in all things and we will be true believers of the Lord.

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: "Jesus...set...fire...wish...blazing"; Jesus so much wants love to be the primary motive for our actions and He gave us THE example
of His  sacrificial love for us. Seek the grace to be a true lover, a selfless lover, for that is the kind of love that keeps Jesus' love alive in our hearts.

Tomorrow's reading:Lk 12.54-59

10.22.15

Lectio: Lk 12.54-59

Meditatio: “Jesus said to the crowds, 'when you see a cloud rising cloud in the west, you say, 'It is going to rain - and so I does; and when you notice the wind is blowing from the south, you say, 'it is going to be hot-so it is." Lk 12.54

Oratio: O God, Jesus was upset by the crowd who could interpret the signs in the sky, and yet could not interpret the signs he was giving. Pray to see the marvelous in creation and to realize the love and greatness of God who brought it into existence.

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: "Jesus...upset...cloud...wind"; Jesus made His identity obvious to anyone who was searching for the Messiah and many refused to accept the obvious much to Jesus chagrin.  Seek the grace to be always open to Jesus presence whether obvious or not for He reveals Himself for our good.


Tomorrow's reading:Lk 13.1-9

10.23.15

Lectio:Lk 13.1-9

Meditatio: “Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them - do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?” Lk 12. 4                                                                     
Oratio: O God, Jesus calls all to repent and he pointed out that it not those who are killed in accidents who are more guilty than anyone who did not. Pray to avoid rash judgments and when you come to your senses after sinning to immediately turn to the Lord and repent for He so much wants us to return to Him.

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: "people....killed...more guilty...” Jesus made it clear that people who die in tragedies are not necessarily sinners and He urged all to be vigilant and repentant. Seek the grace to live as Jesus directed and repent as often as you sin for that is His way and our way to Him.
