12.29.15

Lectio: Lk 2.36-40                                                     

Meditatio: “And coming forward at that very time, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who waiting redemption o f Jerusalem.” Lk 2.38

Oratio: O God, Your Son was recognized by Anna in the Temple and she, too, praised you for sending the redeemer. .Pray to recognize Christ at work in others for that is how He comes to us today,                                                                        

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

Operatio: reflect: “she....thanks....all...redemption” Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, like Simeon, immediately recognized the child Jesus as the redeemer. Seek the grace to proclaim Jesus is alive and among us in our brothers and sisters and take their messages to heart.
