5.18.11
Lectio: Jn 13.16-20
"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send, receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.” Jn 13.20
"O God, how You want us to be close to You!
I remember Jesus declared that those who receive the one He sends on a mission, receives You.
Grant that I may always appreciate the indivisibility of Jesus and my concomitant dwelling in the Trinity through and in Jesus.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on the indwelling of Jesus in me - what a mystery! What love! How true and joyful the old Gospel hymn - “And He walks with me and He talks with me...” May I always be eternally grateful to Jesus for so dignifying me.
Tomorrow’s reading: Jn 14.1-6
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.
