Lectio: Ex 12.1-8, 11-14
Meditatio: “This day shall be a memorial for you, which all generations shall celebrate with a pilgrimage to the Lord, as a perpetual institution.” Ex 12. 14
Oratio:"O God, in Your kindness You have given us a clear sign of our salvation.
I remember You gave Your chosen people the feast of Passover to make present to them Your saving them from slavery in Egypt.
Grant that I may realize that I may ever rejoice and be grateful that You gave us the Eucharist as a daily memorial of our salvation.
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 "memorial;” a commemorative; a to make the past present; a sacrament; in prayer thank Jesus for the Eucharist - the living memorial of our salvation.

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.
