12.03.13

Lectio:  Mt 15.29-37                  

Meditatio: “The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified God.” Mt 15.31                                                                     
Oratio: O God, how blind we can be especially those who should see - the religious leaders

I remember Jesus preformed all kinds of healing before a great crowd numbering at least 4,000 not counting women and children and the crowd believed but obviously the religious leaders were not there and they refused to accept the testimony of the commoners to their detriment.

Grant that I may ever grateful for Jesus making so obvious His divine authority so that the New Way that He preached we know is the sure way to the eternal kingdom.

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: "crowds...amazed...glorified God”; Jesus performed all kind of healing in front of a large crowd and they immediately so it as the hand of God at work among them but not the elite who sadly remained blind to the things that really matter. May I be ever grateful to Jesus for showing so clearly His authority and with God’s grace may I adhere to His
Way, His truth, His Life for therein lies my best and eternal interests.

Tomorrow's reading: Mt 7.21, 24-27
