10.17.12
Lectio: 2 Tm 4.10-17b
Meditatio: ": " but The Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that, through me the proclamation might be completed and all the Gentiles might hear it." 2 Tm 4.17a-b
Oratio: "O God, You do not leave us alone in carrying out Your missions.
I remember Paul acknowledged it was You who was with him as he carried out his work for the Gentiles.
Grant that I may always remember Your presence and that You stand with me when I do Your will.
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 "proclamation"; to make it known; a formal announcement; in prayer thank God for those missionaries through whom we received the Good News; and may I willingly preach the Good News to those who lives I touch.
Tomorrow's reading: Eph 1.11-14
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.
