Lectio: Phil 2.12-18
Meditatio: "Do everything without grumbling or questioning." Phil 2.14
Oratio: "O God, You are the Potter we are the clay.
I remember Paul told the Phillipians that they should do all things without grumbling because it is You who are doing the prompting.
Grant that I may give wholeheartedly allegiance to Your word knowing You are watching over us with loving care.
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 "grumbling"; dissenting without respect; in prayer thank God for watching over us with His loving care and for the grace to carry out His promptings.
Tomorrow's reading: Phil 3.3-8a
P,.S. Be sure to vote!
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.
