Lectio: Lk 17.7-10

“Is he grateful to that servant because he did what was commanded/” Lk 17.9

“O God, You have made known what we ought to do in this life in order in order to live this life rightly.

I remember Your Son declared our doing what we ought does not make You grateful to us. So Your granting us eternal life is pure gift on Your part - how gracious of You!

Grant that I may always do Your will so that someday I may be gifted with eternal life with You.

I ask this of You who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever. Amen.

Operatio: Reflect on “grateful” - an attitude; a kind outlook towards someone for a word, a deed done that benefits; Resolve to pray often and express my thanksgiving to God for being so gracious for what I give back to Him is what He in fact gave me in the first place. .
