Lectio: Lk 7.18b-23

Meditatio: “At that time he [Jesus] cured many of their diseases, sufferings and evil spirits; he also granted sight to many who were blind.” Lk 7.21

Oratio: "O God, You know it is hard for us to accept things on faith alone; and You did not leave us in our quandary.

I remember Jesus worked spectacular miracles to show His authority for His teachings.

Grant that when doubts arise about my faith, I may recall Lk 7.21 and banish this evil spirit.

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 many miracles Jesus worked and the many He continues to work down through the ages and especially through His mother; and then rejoice in the solid foundations of the Catholic faith and God’s confirmation of its truths even to this day.

Tomorrow’s reading - Lk 7.24-30
