Lectio - Mt 14.13-21

Meditatio: “When he (Jesus) disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick.” Mt 14.14

Oratio: "O God, You are not just a big picture God, but You are mindful and are concerned for us as individuals.

I remember Jesus saw a vast crowd that had followed Him on foot around Lake Galilee and His heart was moved with pity and He cured the sick among them.

Grant that I may turn to You with confidence and seek from You my needs and the needs of those who ask me to pray for them, knowing You do care for us.

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 my prayer life and see if I pray with confidence tht God hears and will answer me because He loves all of us in a wonderful and personal way. If not, I will renew my trust in God’s Divine Providence and bring that trust whenever I turn to God for help.
