Lectio - Mk 12.18-27
Meditatio: “When they rise from the dead, they neither marry or are given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven.” Mk 12.25
Oratio: "O God, what a wonderful life you have in mind for us for all eternity!
I remember Jesus revealed that when we are raised from the dead, we will live like angels in heaven. Wow! Pure and perfect beings for all eternity.
Grant that I may always rejoice in Your benevolence for granting us such a great destiny.
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 on the resurrection and its implications for how I should live in this life.
Tomorrow’s selection is from Mt 5.1-12a
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.
