5.10.11
Lectio: Jn 6.35-40
Meditatio: “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day.” Jn 6.40
Oratio: "O God, You give us so much for so little return on our part.
I remember Jesus proclaimed eternal life for everyone who believes in Him - how generous of You for our act of faith in Your Son. Grant that I may live the faith I profess in Your Son so that my belief in Him may be sincere.
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 where I see the Son? - The Eucharist is the obvious - but do I see Him in the sick, the poor, the outcast - There He is as well. In prayer ask God to give spiritual sight that is 20-20 so that I my lived faith will be authentic.
Tomorrow’s reading: Jn 6.44-51
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.
