Lectio -Mt 9.32-38
Meditatio: “Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and curing any disease and illness.” Mt 9.35
Oratio: "O God, You want a personal relationship with us.
I remember You sent Your Son to proclaim this good news and authenticated his mission with the many miracles He worked.
Grant that I may accept Jesus as my God and my savior and my brother and give to You the love you deserve as my Father and my God.
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 in the relationship I have with the Triune God - a pure and wonderful gift.
Tomorrow’s selection is from Mt 10.1-7
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.
