Lectio: Mt 18-12-14
Meditatio: “In just the same way, it is not the will or your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.” Mt 18.14
Oratio: "O God, You want us to have a close relationship with You.
I remember Jesus in His parable about a lost sheep referred to You as our Father in heaven - how close to us you are and want us to be!
Grant that I may be always remember I not only have a God in heaven but a Father as well who loves me infinitely.
I ask this of You, who lives and reigns with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever.
Amen.”
Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes.
Operatio: Reflect on “your heavenly Father” - God; creator; my God, my Father. Pray always with confidence, trust and love to God knowing He is my Father who loves me immensely.
Tomorrow’s reading - Mt 11.28-30
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.
