11.17.13
Lectio: Lk 18.35-43
Meditatio : "What do you want me to do for you? He replied, “Lord, please let me see’.”
Lk 18.41
Oratio: O God, how tenderly You care for us!
I remember Jesus in response to the blind man of Jericho’s request, granted him his sight.
Grant that I may see all things with the light of faith which You so generously have bestowed on me so that I may see things Your way and act accordingly.
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: "want...see"; a desire; to perceive physically with one’s eyes; but more importantly that we desire to see with the eyes of faith; in prayer seek an increase in faith so that I may always see what you should see and then to what you ought to do so as to please our Lord and our God.
Tomorrow's reading: Lk 19.1-10
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.
