3.12.14
Lectio: Mt 7.7-12
"Do to others as you would have them do to you. This is the law and the
prophets." Mt 7.12
Meditatio: O God, you ways are mysterious but You give us clear
instruction how to comply with You will.
I remember Your Son gave us the Golden Rule and in that simple rule of
doing to others whatever you would have them
do to you He said that it sums up all the law and the prophets. How
easy to know what You want of us.
Grant that I may always apply the Golden Rule in my decisions and one
day I will rejoice with You.
I ask these and all things through Christ our Lord.
Contemplatio: Spend a few minutes in silence contemplating the word.
Operatio: "Do..others..do..you"; In short love and you will meet the
Golden Rule.
Tomorrow's reading: Mt 5.20-26
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.
