10.14.13

Lectio:   Lk 11.37-41                   
           
Meditatio:"You fools! Did you not the maker of the outside also make the inside?” Lk11.40

Oratio: O God, You want us to be persons of integrity.
|
I remember Jesus reminded the Pharisees that merely washing one’s hands does not make for righteous. Rather, what is inside needs to be kept clean and that really counts.

Grant that I may respond and be a person of integrity so what I do externally is congruent with my internal posture.

I ask this and all things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You
and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Contemplatio: spend some time in silence and meditate on the selected passage and hear what
God is saying to you.

Operatio: reflect: "outside...inside”; Jesus calls us to be true to ourselves so what we are is what is what we convey to others; seek the grace to give of one’s self and one’s possession to others as a way of disciplining oneself so as to become a person of integrity for mortification and almsgiving are the keys.
