Lectio: Mt 2.1-12                    

Meditatio: “After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.” Mt 2.9

Oratio: O God, You inspired the Magi to follow the star to Your Son and they did. Pray that I may always follow Your promptings for You give to me for my good.                                                                                                               
Contemplatio: Spend some time with today's text and see how the Lord is speaking to you.

Operatio: reflect: “audience,,,,king....star...stopped...child”; a new star led the Wise Men to Jesus and they were privileged to see Him and pay Him homage. Seek the grace to follow the star You have given me - the Church - and abide by its teachings for they are for our good.
