Lectio: Lk 12.39-48
“You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” Lk 12.40
“O God, only You know when our day to come to You will be.
I remember Jesus warned His followers to be prepared for that hour.
Grant that I may live always in accordance with Your will so that I will not have to worry or fear that final moment here in this world.
I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.
Operatio: Reflect on “Son of Man’s coming” - historical, second coming, coming at the end of my life; I know of the first; but I do not know the when of the second and third but I do know Jesus will come on both occasions. Pray for the grace to remain always in God’s grace.
Tomorrow’s readings: Lk 12.49-53
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.
