Lectio: : Is 48.7-19
Meditatio: "Their name never cut off or blotted out from my presence." Is 46.19b
Oratio: "O God, You have provided us with clear guidance for our return to You.
I remember Your prophet, Isaiah, declared that if we keep Your commandments, our names will never be cut off from You - how generous and kind of You!
Grant that I may live in accordance with Your commandments so that I may one day dwell with You in Your presence and remain there forever.
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 "blotted out"; removed without trace; in prayer thank God for loving me so and seek always the grace to live in accordance with the great law of love so as to please my God.

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.
