Lectio: Lk 14.25-33
Meditatio: “If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple”Lk 14.26
Oratio: O God, Jesus requirements for discipleship seems so harsh but then we realize He is using hyperbole to make the point; namely, discipleship requires total dedication. Pray to give Jesus your total self while continuing to love all for Jesus is a God of Love and He wants us to imitate His love.
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: "hating...father...mother....cannot....disciple”; total dedication is
Jesus’ requirement of His disciples and love and not hate. Seek the grace to be always there for the Lord and put Him first in our life.

About Me
- Father Mike
- I was ordained for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia on May 15, 1993. I am a widower with 8 children and 24 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. On July 1, 2014 I began my residence at St Mathew Parish in Philadelphia, PA. My last assignment was pastor of St.Elizabeth Ann Seton in Bensalem, PA since November of 1999. I have created this Blog in response to Pope Benedict XVI's recommendation that Priest use modern means of communications to reach out to people with the Good News. I publish daily my Lectio Divina efforts via a group email. I will publish such efforts from time to time to this site as well as other pertinent info about the Good News of Jesus Christ or issues which are contrary to the Good News. What is Lectio Divina? Lectio Divina is the Study of and Meditation on Sacred Scripture. The steps include: Reading (Lectio),- Pondering (Meditatio); Praying (Oratio) and Silence(Contemplatio). I use the daily Lectionary as the source of readings.
