01.01.16

Lectio: Jn 1.19-28

Meditatio: “He said, ‘I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, Make straight the way of the lord’.” Jn 1.13

Oratio: O God, You sent John to prepare the way for Your Son and he did what You asked of him. Pray to always do Your will no matter how great or how little the task for doing so is my way back to You.                                                                        

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

Operatio: reflect: “I....voice....Make...way....lord”; John was the voice; Jesus was the Lord; we, too, by virtue of our baptism are to prepare the way of the Lord for those whose lives we touch. Seek the grace to do so for therein lies our worth.
