Lectio: Lk 1. 5-25

Meditatio: “So has the Lord done for me at a time when has seen fit to take away my disgrace before others.” Lk 1.25
                                                                                 
Oratio: O God, You miraculously intervened so that Elizabeth would bear a son in her old age and take away the opprobrium that people had for her since she was childless. Pray that I may never rash judge others or place standards of conduct on others that are not divine based.

Contemplatio: Spend some time with today's text and see how the Lord is speaking to you.

Operatio: reflect: “Lord....take away...disgrace”; under the thinking of the time to be childless meant that you were not favored by God. Seek the grace to see others in the light of Christ and avoid negative judgments on others for that is the way that God wants of us.
