1/24/11
Lectio: Mk 16.15-18
Meditatio: “He said to them, ‘Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature’.” Mk 16.15
Oratio: "O God, You are the God of everyone - How magnanimous!
I remember Jesus instructed his apostles to “Go out into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.’
Grant that I may minister to all without regards to their origins and do my part to carry out Your will.
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 fact that Our God is the God of all. How am I making Him known to others? Do I think as a Catholic that I have an exclusive claim on Him? If so, purge that line of thinking because it ain’t so.
Tomorrow’s reading - Mk 4.1-20
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.
