Daily Scripture Reflection & Prayer: November 2,2026

LECTIO - Read Scripture Text:   John 6:37-40

(Jesus said to the crowds) “Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me, I will not reject because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the Father’s will who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what he gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day. For this is the will of him who sent me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have everlasting life, and I shall raise him on the last day.”

MEDITATIO - Meditate on text, allow the LORD to touch us with His Word:

Have I come to Jesus with my whole self – with belief in Him and love for Him?

BREAKING OPEN THE TEXT:

Jesus’ words to us today in the gospel focuses on His unity with the Father and His obedience to the Father and His offer of redemption for all who come to Jesus and believe in Him.

ORATIO – Lifting our minds and hearts to the LORD in prayer:

Heavenly Father, giver of all goodness love itself, You desire that none of us, your children should be lost. You sent your only-begotten and beloved Son to fulfill your will, to selflessly and lovingly redeem us from our sins and open us to life in abundance with You.

Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of the Father, You promise us that if we come to You in faith, believing in You, loving You, that You will not reject us. Help me to open myself to You wholly and humbly. Grant that I may anchor my home in your promise.

Most Holy Spirit, stir within me daily and rouse within me the love poured out to me from my very creation and hope in the promise of my savior, Jesus Christ.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

CONTEMPLATIO – Sitting with the LORD in silence for a minute or more
