12.22.15

Lectio: Lk 1.57-66                                              

Meditatio: “but his mother said in reply, ‘No. He will be called John’.”: Lk 1.60                                           
                                                                                 
Oratio: O God, Elizabeth surprised everyone when she said her son will be called John and even more surprised when Zechariah agreed and he was then able to speak. Pray to do God’s will and you will be amazed what God over time will do for you.

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

Operatio: reflect: “He...called Johns”; The Baptist was called John for that was the name given to his parents and they did God’s bidding and not there. Seek the grace to do God’s work in all your endeavors and in the long run you will be greatly enriched..
