Lectio: Is 1.10,16-20 Meditatio: “learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan’s pleas, defend the widow.” Is 1.17
Oratio: ""O God, You created us in Your image - and we should live a life which reflects You.
I remember Your prophet, Isaiah, realized this and urged Your people to do good and make justice their aim.
Grant that I may heed the call of Isaiah and a life a life that reflects Your image.
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: Operatio : Reflect on "justice;” to right relationship with God, others and self; God is All-Just. In prayer ask for the grace to be just in all our relationships and to all a full measure of compassion, too!

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.
