LECTIO:
If you choose you can keep the commandments, they will save you;
if you trust in God, you too shall live;
he has set before you fire and water
to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand.
Before man are life and death, good and evil,
whichever he chooses shall be given him.
Immense is the wisdom of the Lord;
he is mighty in power, and all-seeing.
The eyes of God are on those who fear him;
he understands man's every deed.
No one does he command to act unjustly,
to none does he give license to sin.

STUDIUM:
God in His Wisdom has given us free will. Life is about the choices we've made. Good or bad sometimes just happens but afterwards, we evaluate and make a choice. Some say when we die some poor souls even choose hell. We had better keep our eyes on God. He understands why we choose and judges accordingly.
MEDITATIO:
Lord, how many times have I asked You to take away my free will. I only want to do Your Will. I don't even want to think of any other choices. But I trust Your Wisdom and know best, so help me to always choose You.
ORATIO:
Lord, lead me not into temptation and deliver me from evil.
CONTEMPLATIO:
Thy Will be done.
RESOLUTIO:
Since I don't want to sin, I need to not act impulsively. I need to remember to pray first, then think, and finally to act.
