Lectio: Lk 6.43-49
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ but do not do what I command’?” Lk 6.46
“O God, You want and deserve more than lip service from us - You want our hearts and our souls.
I remember Jesus reminded His followers that if they call him, ‘Lord,’ they should do as He commands.
Grant that I may build my spirituality on Jesus’ commands so that I may properly call Him my Lord for so He is.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on “the foundation of my faith” - Is it truly Christ? How do I respond when the storms of life hit. In prayer ask for the grace to build my foundation on Christ by doing what He commands and I will not only survive the storms of this life but I will be with Him forever.
Tomorrow’s readings: Mt 18.21-35
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.
