Lectio:  Mk 6.45-52                                                           

Meditatio: “But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought he was a ghost and cried  out.” Mk 6.49                                                                                                                                                     
Oratio: O God, Your Son showed His divinity when He walked on the sea. Yet His disciples were confused and afraid at the moment thinking Him a ghost. Only later upon reflection did they make the connection. Pray to see in the moment the presence of the Lord and respond with love and action.
                                                                        
Contemplatio: Spend some time with today's text and see how the Lord is speaking to you.

Operatio: reflect: “walking....sea...ghost”; first impressions can and are often wrong. The disciples thought Jesus was a ghost when they saw Him walking on the sea. Seek the grace of an openess of a child so that I may see the many ways Jesus is present to me in my daily life for He is there whenever we see selfless love
