4.12.12
Lectio: Acts 4.1-12
Meditatio: “There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given the human race by which we are to be saved.” Acts 4.12
Oratio: O God, You created us for our good and You redeemed us for our everlasting good.
I remember Peter proclaimed that salvation is through the name of Your Son, whom we crucified.
Grant that I may always rejoice in the goodness of God and in the redeeming love of Jesus.
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 "saved"; rescued; redeemed by Jesus; in prayer thank God for wanting us to be with Him forever; and ask the Holy Spirit for the grace to do my part to make Jesus’ known to those whose lives I touch so that they may experience His redeeming love and accept it.
Tomorrow's reading: Acts 4.13-21
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.
