Lectio - Jn 16.23b-28
Meditatio: “For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have come to believe I came from God.” Jn 16.27
Oratio: "O God, how easy You have made it for us to be loved by You despite our insignificance and unworthiness.
I remember Jesus said that because we love Him, who is so easy to love, that was enough for You to love us - How wonderful for us! - How gracious of You!
Grant that I may work each day at staying in love with Your Son.
I ask this of You, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.”
Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
Operatio: Today I will reflect and rejoice that the Father loves me.
Tomorrow’s selection is from Jn 21.20-25
About Me
- Father Mike
- I was ordained for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia on May 15, 1993. I am a widower with 8 children and 24 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. On July 1, 2014 I began my residence at St Mathew Parish in Philadelphia, PA. My last assignment was pastor of St.Elizabeth Ann Seton in Bensalem, PA since November of 1999. I have created this Blog in response to Pope Benedict XVI's recommendation that Priest use modern means of communications to reach out to people with the Good News. I publish daily my Lectio Divina efforts via a group email. I will publish such efforts from time to time to this site as well as other pertinent info about the Good News of Jesus Christ or issues which are contrary to the Good News. What is Lectio Divina? Lectio Divina is the Study of and Meditation on Sacred Scripture. The steps include: Reading (Lectio),- Pondering (Meditatio); Praying (Oratio) and Silence(Contemplatio). I use the daily Lectionary as the source of readings.
