Lectio Lk 11.14-23
Meditatio: "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters." Lk 11. 23
Oratio: "O God, You invite all to accept the Good News and to live it.
I remember Your Son said that all who are not with Him are against Him.
Grant that I may abided and rejoice in the Good News and do my part to spread it.
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 "with me...against me"; an invite to a committed relationship; indifference is not an acceptable response to Jesus’ invite; in prayer ask for the grace to give my unconditional and continual commitment to the Good News and to allow Jesus to use me as one of His instruments to spread it.
Tomorrow's reading: :Mk 12.28-34
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.
