Lectio: Mt 18.15-20
Meditatio: “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Mt 18.20
Oratio: O God, How kind and benevolent You are!
I remember Jesus declared that whenever two or more are gathered in Your name, You are there! May we always be mindful of You in our gatherings and not just when we want or need something for Your presence alone is enough for us no matter what our needs or burdens.
Contemplatio: spend some time in silence and meditate on the selected passage and hear what
God is saying to you.
Operatio: reflect "gathered...my name....I in ....midst”; what a boon! What a grace! God is not only always aware of us but He is present to us when we gather in His name. Seek the grace of remembrance of His presence; and allow Him to decided what is best for us knowing He will be there for us in all things.
Tomorrow's reading: Mt 18.21-19.1

- 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.
