5.12.11
Lectio; Jn 6. 52-59
"The Jews quarreled among themselves saying, ‘How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat’?” Jn 6.52
"O God, You know our needs and our ultimate need.
I remember Jesus gave us His very self so we could take Him within us so we could have You and the Holy Spirit, too.
Grant that I may always receive the Eucharist with great gratitude and reverence for it is in You, with You and through Jesus we have eternal life.
Operatio: Reflect on the Eucharist and the indivisibility of the Trinity - When I receive the Eucharist, I receive the Father and the Holy Spirit as well as Jesus - How mysterious! How wonderful? May I always receive the Eucharist with gratitude and joy that I am now sharing in the life of the Trinity in the here and the now.
Tomorrow’s reading: Jn 15.9-17
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.
