Daily Scripture Reflection & Prayer: October 28,2026

LECTIO - Read Scripture Text: Luke 6:12-16

Jesus went up on the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God. When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles: Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, Hohn, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon called a Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who became a traitor.

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

Do I take my important decisions to the LORD for guidance? Do I withdraw from the noise of the world to be alone with the LORD?

BREAKING OPEN THE TEXT:

Today’s gospel recounts Jesus’ prayerful discernment and call of the twelve apostles.

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

LORD, Almighty Father, Beloved Son and Savior, Most Holy Spirit, I come to you apart from the noise of the world to open myself more fully to your power and presence, manifestations of your love. Give me, I pray, the grace to see You throughout my day and to hear you and your loving wisdom. Thank You for my life and for your call. Grant that I may use my life for your love and glory and grow into my call. 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
