5.01.14

Lectio:  Jn 6.1-15                                                               

Meditatio: “Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much at they wanted.”Jn 6.11

Oratio: "O God, how generous and compassionate You are for we see it manifested in Your Son.

I remember when Jesus was saw a large crowd following Him, He knew they were hungry. He took what was there, five loaves and two fish, gave thanks and distributed to them and fed in the process 5,000 men. The fragments of the bread that were not eaten filled 12 baskets.  What a showing of how generous Jesus was - not only what they needed but so much more. Seek the grace to have a generous spirit.

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: “Jesus...took bread... thanks..., distributed”; these actions of Jesus are repeated every day in the Mass and Jesus gives us His very self in the consecrated bread - how awesome! How generous of Jesus to continue to feed all who come to Him with the bread of heaven. In prayer seek to always approach Eucharist in a humble and worthy way and seek the grace to be Eucharist to others for that is how Jesus wants to be manifested to all.
