Lectio: Mt 11.2-11
Meditatio: “And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.” Mt 11.6
Oratio: "O God, some people do not believe in You and take offense at those who do believe in You.
I remember Jesus told the disciples of John the Baptist that blessed are those who take no offense at Him - and they and indeed all of us were greatly blest by Jesus for we are blest with new hope, with new horizons, with a new freedom.
Grant that I may always rejoice in the blessings that Your Son has given to me.
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: Reflect on the hope, the horizons, the freedom I enjoy because of Jesus and then give Him thanks and praise.
Tomorrow’s reading - Mt 25.1-13
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.
