Lectio - Jn 12.24-26
Meditatio: “Whoever serves me, must follow me; and where I am there also my servants will be. The Father will honor whoever serves me.” Jn 12.26
Oratio: "O God, how benevolent You are for so little effort on our part!
I remember Jesus said that whoever served Him, You will honor. For doing what we ought, You gift us!
Grant that I may always do Your will not for honors but for love of You.
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 examine my motives for my actions and purify those that do not involve my following Jesus more nearly, following more dearly, day by day.
Tomorrow’s reading - Mt 18.15-20
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.
