God bless the
US university students protesting against genocide in Gaza. I posted a
comment but it was rejected....it said: "Pro-Palestinian protests" is
an incorrect term, even a biased term...should be "anti-genocide
protests" since the students are protesting against the murder of 14,000
children and the same number of women.

Isaiah 1:
Listen, heaven and
earth,
for the Lord is speaking: "The ox knows its
owner and the donkey its master's crib.
But my people have rebelled against me. I am tired of your
hypocritical lives,
tired of offerings given with dirty hands. You are so greedy for
profit,
always looking for bribes. Take your wrong-doing
out of my sight.
Stop doing evil. Learn to do good.
Practise justice towards the poor.
Help the oppressed, the orphan and the widow. Then, though your sins
are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow."
Lord,
please help me "wash my hands" by doing good for poor people
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
28: To you, O Lord, I call, my rock, hear me.
If you do not heed, I shall become like people in the grave. Lord, you are my strength and my shield.
In you my heart trusts. Thank you, Lord, for so often hearing my
prayer.
I will always thank and praise you. You are the strength of your people Israel.
Save your people. Be our shepherd and carry us for ever.
Lord, please help people who
are in big danger today

Corinthians 15.9-11: I am the least of the apostles. In fact, since
I persecuted the Church of God, I hardly deserve the name apostle. But by God's grace I am what I am, and the
grace that he gave me has not been fruitless. On the contrary, I, or rather the grace of God
in my heart, have worked harder than any of the others, preaching the
same message that they preach
Jesus, may your grace in me be more fruitful
Listen
John 12.42-46: Many people believed in Jesus, even some
important people,
but they did not admit it, through fear of being expelled from the prayer
hall. They put honor from people before the honor that comes from God. Jesus said openly "I, the light, have
come into the world, so that whoever believes in me, need not stay in the
dark any more"
Jesus, true Light of the world, please help me
put honor from you before honor from people
Listen
Reflection: Stopping Jesus from entering our lives means much darkness

For today's Feast of St. Mark
Mark
14.48-52: Jesus said to them
"Am I a robber that you needed to capture me with swords and clubs? Day
after day I was openly teaching in the Temple". All the apostles then
deserted him and ran away. A
young man who followed
Jesus had nothing on but a linen cloth. They caught hold of him, but he left the
cloth in their hands and ran away naked.
My
recording of this reading
Acts
15.36-40: Some time after
this, Paul said to Barnabas "Let's revisit the towns where we preached the
word of the Lord". Barnabas suggested taking John
Mark with them, but
Paul opposed this, since John Mark had deserted them on the previous trip when
the situation became dangerous. After a violent argument, Paul and Barnabas
split up. Barnabas went with John Mark to Cyprus. Silas joined Paul for his next
journey.

Reflection on the above readings: Mark in his youth was good at running ... running away from danger (Gospel and Acts, above). But his feet were eventually right in the danger zone that was Rome. We can also note that not all scholars agree that "Mark" in the above 4 readings is the same person. See Mark the Evangelist

Sirach 51: When I was young, before I became a
traveler,
I prayed for wisdom. Thanks to
wisdom, I have been successful in my
work.
And so I finish this book by praising the God who gave me wisdom:
I give thanks to you, Lord and King,
and praise you, God my savior. For by wisdom you have protected and supported
me,
and rescued me from so many troubles. I will praise you all my days
and gratefully sing your praises.
Lord, thank you for the
wisdom in this book.
Please give me wisdom for each day
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 27: The Lord is my light and my
help, whom shall
I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life, before whom shall I shrink? Though
an army encamp against me, even then would I trust. There is one thing I ask of the Lord, for this
I long:
to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. It is your face, O Lord, that I seek. Hide not
your face.
I am sure I will see your goodness in the land of the living. Hope in the Lord, hold firm and take heart.
Hope in the Lord!
Lord, you are my light and my
help.
I will always praise you.

Corinthians 15.1-8: Let me remind you of
the basic facts of the
Good News:
Christ died for our sins. He was buried.
He was raised to life on the third day. He appeared to Peter, then to the other
apostles, then to more than 500 of the believers - most of whom are still
alive. Then he appeared to James and the other disciples. Last of all he appeared to me. I was like an
unexpected child
Jesus, I have not yet seen you, but I believe
in you and I love you
Listen
John 12.23-33: Jesus said to his apostles Andrew and Philip
"Now the time has come for me to be glorified.
Unless a wheat grain goes into the ground and dies, it remains only a
single grain. But if it dies, it yields a rich harvest. Now sentence is being passed on this world.
Now Satan is to be defeated. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I
shall draw all people to myself". By these words, Jesus indicated the kind of
death he would die
Jesus, lifted up on the Cross, you are the
Saviour of the world

Sirach
44-50: It is good to remember the famous people in
history
who had a special love for God. Remembering their faith and their love for God
will give us courage for our daily lives.
They were human and made mistakes,
yet they persevered in serving the Lord. People like Abraham, Moses, David.
Let us try to imitate their faith and courage.
Lord, please give me courage to
live each day as I should

It is the Lord who is Creator of the

Forgive my sins and help me walk in your truth.

Corinthians 13.1-13: If I am the most brilliant speaker, but don't
have love, I am just a gong booming.
If I understand all mysteries, and if I have a faith that will move mountains, but don't
have love, I am nothing. Love is always patient and kind. It is never
jealous, never boastful, never conceited, never rude or selfish. Love does not take offence. It's not
resentful. Love delights in the truth.
Love is always ready to excuse, to trust, to
hope and to endure whatever comes. Love is virtue Number One, greater than
faith or hope
Jesus, please help me love like you
Listen
John
12.12-19: People who had gone to Jerusalem for the
Passover,
heard that Jesus was coming down to Jerusalem from Bethany. They used palm branches as they went out
to meet him, shouting "Hosanna! Blessings on the King of Israel who
comes in the name of the Lord". Jesus rode a young donkey down the hill, just
as the Scriptures had predicted: "Daughter of Sion, behold! Your king is
coming, mounted on the colt of a donkey". Some religious leaders said to each other
"Look, there is nothing you can do. The whole world is running after
him"
Jesus, humbly entering Jerusalem on a donkey,
may you be known and welcomed and praised by the whole world
Listen
Reflection: "Love" in 1 Corinthians, above, is much more than physical/emotional love. In Greek there is a special word for it: "Agape"

42-43: What an amazing world
we live in!
The Creator sure did a good job programming everything! Great is the Lord who
made the sun, the moon and stars.
What a beautiful creature is the rainbow! The seasons, the rain,
the snow, lightning and thunder:
all proclaim the glory of God. How great is God who
has made such an amazing universe.
How can we praise and honor him enough?
Dear God, thank you for
creating the world.

Psalm
23: The Lord is my
shepherd, there is nothing I
shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit. He guides me along the right path. He is true
to his name.
If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook and your staff; with these you give me
comfort. You have prepared a banquet for me in the
sight of my foes.
My head you have anointed with oil. My cup is overflowing. Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life.
In the Lord's own house shall I dwell for ever
and ever.
Thank you, Lord, for being my
good shepherd

Corinthians 12.12-30: A human body is made of many parts: arms,
legs, muscles, eyes etc.
Every part is important and needed for the body to be healthy. The church is like a
body. We are the body's
members. Some of us are apostles, some prophets, some teachers etc. The members of the church must care about
every member of the church. Everyone is important. The spiritual health of
each member affects the health of the whole body
Jesus, help me understand how your church is
like a human body
Listen
John
12.1-8: Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to
Bethany,
for a dinner at the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha. Mary put expensive ointment on Jesus'
feet.
Then she wiped his feet with her hair. Judas Iscariot, the disciple who was going to
betray Jesus, said "Why wasn't this ointment sold and the money given
to the poor?" He said this not because he cared about the
poor, but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the moneybag and would
steal from it. Jesus replied "Leave her alone. She is
anticipating and honoring my burial. Besides, the poor will always be with
you. But I will soon be gone"
Jesus, please help people in charge of money
not to steal

c.f. readings for Easter 4
Acts
4.1-12: While
Peter was talking to the crowd, some religious leaders and soldiers came and
arrested Peter and John. The next day the leaders held a meeting and asked the
prisoners: "By what power and by whose name did you heal the crippled
beggar?" Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, replied "The cripple is
able to stand up perfectly healthy because he was healed by Jesus the Nazarene,
the one you crucified, whom God raised from the dead. Salvation comes no other
way. Only by
the name of Jesus can we be
saved".
Jesus, your name means "God saves", you
are indeed the Saviour of
the world
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
118: Give thanks to the
Lord for he is good. His love has no end. Let the sons of Israel say: "His
love has no end." Let those who honor the Lord say: "His love has no
end." It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. It
is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. I was falling,
falling, falling, but the Lord was my helper. The Lord is my strength and my
song. He is my saviour. The Lord's right hand has triumphed. His right hand has
raised me up. I shall not die, I shall live and recount all his deeds. The stone
which the builders rejected has become the corner stone. This is the work of the
Lord, a marvel in our eyes. This
day was made by the Lord. We rejoice and are glad.
Lord, we give thanks to you, for you are good. Your love has no end

God's love has even more in store for us in the future: we

we must try to live good lives. We must try to be as good as Christ
Jesus, please help me be more like you
Listen
John
10.11-14: Jesus said to the religious
leaders "I am the Good
Shepherd. The Good Shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep.
A hired man, since he has no real concern for the sheep, abandons them and runs
away if he sees a wolf coming. I am the Good Shepherd. I know my own sheep, and
my own sheep know me".
Jesus, Good Shepherd, please help me to be a good sheep, and a good shepherd

To
go with today's Gospel:
A
shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW
advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Broni
suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks
the shepherd, "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock,
will you give me one?" The shepherd looks at the man, obviously a yuppie,
then looks at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answers, "Sure, Why
not?"
The
yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his
AT&T cell phone. He surfs to a NASA page on the internet, where he calls up
a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he
then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an
ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe
Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been
processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an
ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with hundreds of complex formulas.
He
uploads all of this data via an email on his Blackberry and, after a few
minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page
report on his hi- tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and then turns to the
shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1,586 sheep."
"That's
right. Well, I guess you can take one of my sheep," says the honest
shepherd. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused
as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then the shepherd says to
the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will
you give me back my animal ?"
The
young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, Why not?"
"You're
a consultant." says the shepherd. "Wow! That's correct," says the
yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
"No
guessing required." answered the savvy shepherd, "You showed up here
even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already
knew; to a question I never asked; and you don't know anything about my
business.......now give me back my dog."

Sirach
40-41:
Wine and music cheer the heart,
but better than wine and music is the love of wisdom. Do not speak sharply to people.
Do not ignore people who greet you. Do not gaze at another man's wife.
Do not carry on with a single girl.
Lord, please help me control my
speech and my eyes
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 22: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? I call to you for help, but day and night you give no reply. I am a worm and not a man. Everyone who sees me makes fun of me. They taunt me: "He trusted in the Lord, why doesn't the Lord help him?" Like water I am poured out, my bones no longer connected. My throat is parched, my tongue sticks to my jaws. Many evil people attack me. They make holes in my hands and my feet. They await my death. They divide my clothing among them, they throw a dice for my robe.
Yet I know Lord, that you are good and
holy.
I know how you heard the cries of our ancestors and you helped them. It was you who took me from the womb
and entrusted me to my mother's breast.
To you I was committed from my birth,
from my mother's womb you have been my God. Lord, I trust in you even now.
I trust you will not scorn my prayer. Even now I praise you as my Creator.
May all the nations know and worship you.
Lord, please help people who
are in big trouble right now,
especially people whose lives are in danger

Corinthians 11.20-26: Concerning the Lord's Supper, this is what I
received from the Lord and then taught you: On the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus
took some bread, broke it and said "This is my body which will be
broken for you". After supper he took a cup and said "This
cup is the new covenant in my blood. Each time you drink this cup, drink
it in memory of me". Until the Lord comes, therefore, each time you
eat this bread and drink this cup, you re-enact the death of the Lord.
Jesus, help me understand how bread and
wine become your body and blood when Christians celebrate the Eucharist
Listen
John
11.46-54: The religious leaders had a meeting to decide
what to do about Jesus.
They said "If this man keeps on doing miracles, everyone will follow him. Then
the Romans will see him as a threat, and they will wipe out our
nation". The main leader said "It is better
for one man to die for the people, than for the whole nation to be
destroyed". These words had more meaning than the leader
realized, since Jesus was to die not just for the nation, but for the
whole world. Since the leaders wanted to kill him, Jesus
went to a remote area near the desert, and stayed there with his disciples
Jesus, please help me better understand how
your death saved the world
Listen
Reflection: Each of us can ask ... "what would I do if I knew that people wanted to kill me?"
