9.25.12 Lectio: Prv 30.5-9 Meditatio: "Put falsehood and lying far from my me, give me neither poverty nor riches; [provide me only with the food I need.] Prv 30.8 Oratio: " O God, You sage, who spoke Your wisdom in days gone by, decried lying. I remember yesterday he told of the pitfall about lying to obtain a fortune - the liar will fall in a deadly snare; today Your sage asks that you keep falsehood far from him. Grant that I may always speak the truth and live by the truth for that is the way of wisdom and righteousness. I ask these and all things through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Contemplatio: Keep silence and remain in recollection for a few minutes. Operatio: Reflect on "falsehood;” a lie, deception in word or in deed; an untruth; in prayer ask for the virtue of integrity and to practice it no matter how difficult so that my life may reflect the life you want of Your child.
