Tues March 19
Feast of St Joseph

Yesterday morning after attending a "return date" hearing for one of the bail cases I am surety for, I joined Lucia and Jona for a sharing for 300 students at St Paul's Secondary School in Happy Valley .... some of the students have been helping needy children at MercyHK's Nathan Road Centre on Saturday afternoons. Then I came back to Jordan for the usual Monday afternoon gathering at the Dr Jesus Centre for homeless people animated by Simon and Shirley

c.f. readings for Feast of St Joseph

2 Samuel 7: After David settled into his palace and the land enjoyed peace, David thought about building a temple for the Lord. Then through the prophet Nathan the Lord told David: "I will establish your dynasty for ever. But it will be your son, not yourself, who will build a temple for me." David praised God: "Who am I, Lord, and what is my House, that you have helped me so much and promised me so much? May my House continue in your presence for ever. May you bless my House forever."
Jesus, Son of David, give peace to our world

My recording of this reading
 

 

Psalm 134: I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord; through all ages my mouth will proclaim your truth. Of this I am sure, that your love lasts for ever,  that your truth is firmly established as the heavens. "I have made a covenant with my chosen one;  I have sworn to David my servant: I will establish your dynasty for ever, and set up your throne through all ages".
Jesus, Son of David, may your kingdom of peace come in our troubled world

Recording
 

 

Revelation 22.16-20: "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to make these revelations to you for the sake of the churches. I am of David's line, the Root of David, the Bright Star of the Morning". The Spirit and the Bride say: "Come". Let all who want eternal life say: "Come". Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
Jesus, Son of David, come into our world!

Recording

 

Matthew 1.18-24: This is how Jesus Christ came to be born. His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph; but before they came to live together she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a man of honour and wanting to spare her publicity, decided to divorce her informally. He had made up his mind to do this when the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because she has conceived what is in her by the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son and you must name him Jesus, because he is the one who is to save his people from their sins.' When Joseph woke up he did what the angel of the Lord had told him to do.
Jesus, Son of David, save your people from war and strife

Recording

Reflection on the above readings: As the legal son of Joseph, Jesus was a descendant of King David

Correction to popular idea:  Joseph was the step-father, not foster-father of Jesus, because Joseph was the husband of Mary, and Mary was Jesus' biological mother. St Joseph, pray for our families!

------------------------------

 For feast of St Joseph: Thief breaks into convent of Sisters of St Joseph. Then a voice is heard: "Joseph is watching". Thief cannot see anyone. Voice is again heard: "Joseph is watching". Thief uses torch....sees that "voice" is a parrot. Thief goes on putting items in his sack. Voice then says to huge savage guard dog: "Get him, Joseph!"!!!

Wisdom 10-19: Wisdom has been present in the world since the beginning of time. Wisdom has always been a close friend of good people. Wise people see God in the beauty of creation. Foolish people are blind to God's presence in creation. Wise people ponder God's goodness and kindness. Wise people try to be good and kind to other people.
Lord, please help me see and imitate your goodness and kindness

My recording of this reading

 

Psalms 149-150: Sing a new song to the Lord. Let the praise of God be always on our lips. Praise God in his holy temple. Praise him in the heavens. O praise him with sound of trumpet. Praise him with lute and harp. 
Praise him with drums and dancing. Praise him with strings and pipes. Let everything that lives and breathes,
give praise to the Lord our Creator.
  Alleluia!

Lord, to you we say every day "Allelu-ia" ("praise God")

Listen

 

Romans 13.8-9: Avoid getting into debt, except the debt of love we owe each other. Love other people as you should, and you will keep all the commandments. All the commandments concerning other people - You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal etc - are summed up in the words "You must care about your neighbor as much as you care about yourself"
Jesus, help me care about others as much as I care about myself

Listen


 

John 6.42-51: The people criticized  Jesus saying "We know his father and mother. How can he say he has come down from heaven?" Jesus replied "I am the bread of life. If you eat this bread which has come down from heaven, you will live forever. I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world"
Jesus, living bread come down from heaven, please help me understand how you give your flesh for the life of the world

Listen

c.f. readings for Lent 5

Jeremiah 30-31: God told Jeremiah to tell the people these words: "I will restore you to health. I will heal your wounds. I have loved you with an everlasting love. Strong and constant is my love for you. I will bring back the exiles and save them. I will change their sorrow into joy. The days are coming when I will make a new agreement with my people. Deep within their hearts I will plant love of my Law. I will be their God and they will be my people. I will forgive all their sins." 
Lord, please plant love of you deep within my heart

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 51: Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness, and cleanse me of my sin. My offences truly I know them. What is evil in your sight I have done. But in my defence please don't forget that sinfulness is part of the human condition, part of our DNA. A pure heart create for me, O God. Put a steadfast spirit within me. Give me again the joy of your help. With a spirit of fervor sustain me. 
Lord,  you will not spurn a humbled, contrite heart

 Listen

 

Hebrews 4.12-16: The word of God is something alive and active. It goes deep into our hearts. In Jesus we have the supreme high priest who is now in the highest heaven. He knows how weak we are. He himself was tempted in every way, but did not sin. Let us be confident in approaching his throne of grace. He will give us grace when we are in need of help
Jesus, our high priest, help me when I'm weak

 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

I spent yesterday at Lo Wu women's prison, my second day there this week ..... too many cases for one day. One question among many that I came away with: What more can be done to stop local HK women from being tricked/recruited into drug trafficking? 

 

One of many, many examples showing that HK's economy is deteriorating rapidly: Food chain closing 28 shops

Wisdom 8-9: From my youth I sought and loved Wisdom. Wisdom teaches us temperance, prudence, justice and fortitude. I prayed for Wisdom like this: "God of our ancestors and Lord of mercy, in Wisdom you made all things. Grant me Wisdom who was with you when you made the world. May she teach me what is right,
so that I may be a good ruler. 

Lord, please give me Wisdom, as you gave Wisdom to King Solomon

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 148: Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights. Praise him all his angels, praise him all his spirits. Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, shining stars. Let them praise the name of the Lord. His word gave life to all of them. Praise the Lord from the earth, sea creatures and all oceans. Praise him fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy winds that obey his word. Praise him all mountains and hills, all fruit trees and cedars. Praise him all animals, wild and tame, reptiles and birds in the air. Praise him all earth's kings and peoples, earth's princes and rulers. Praise him young men and maidens, old people together with children. Let them praise the name of the Lord. He is the praise of all who love him. 
Lord our God and Creator, you are worthy of all praise

Listen

 

Romans 13.1-7: Be a good citizen. Respect all civil authorities. Authority comes from God and is answerable to God. Don't break laws. Live honestly. Fulfill your obligations as a citizen. Pay your taxes.
Jesus, please help me be a good citizen

Listen

 

John 6.35-40: Jesus said to the people "The bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. I am the bread of life. Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry. Anyone who believes in me will never be thirsty. It is my Father's will that whoever believes in me will have eternal life". 
Jesus, living bread from heaven, please help more and more people believe in you and love you

Wisdom 6-7: Listen, rulers of the nations, govern with justice, for you will be judged by the Lord. Rulers, if you want to govern successfully, seek Wisdom and she will guide your decisions. A wise ruler is a blessing for his people. The more wise people there are, the better our world will be. When I, Solomon, became a ruler, I prayed for Wisdom. I prayed, and the spirit of Wisdom came to me. In Wisdom's company, all good things came to me.
Lord, please give me the gift of Wisdom

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 147: Praise the Lord for he is good. Sing to our God for he is loving. To him our praise is due. The Lord builds up Jerusalem and brings back Israel's exiles. He heals the broken-hearted and binds up all their wounds. The Lord raises the lowly and humbles the wicked. He fixes the number of the stars. He calls each one by name. Our Lord is great and almighty. His wisdom can never be measured. He covers the heavens with clouds. He prepares rain for the earth, making mountains sprout with grass and with plants to serve our needs. His delight is not in horses nor his pleasure in warriors' strength. The Lord delights in those who love and honor him, in those who wait for his love. 
It is right and fitting to praise and love you, Lord our Creator

Listen

 

Romans 12.14-21: Pray for people who are unkind to you. Be kind to them. Rejoice with those who are happy. Console people who are sad. Treat everyone with kindness. Never be condescending. Make real friends with the poor. Do all you can to live at peace with everyone. Resist evil and conquer it with good
Jesus, I pray for (.. name ...) who was unkind to me

Listen


John 6.26-29: Jesus said to the people "You have come looking for me because you had so much bread to eat. Do not give so much concern to physical food. Be more concerned about the spiritual food that lasts forever. This is the food I am offering you"
Jesus, please give us the food that lasts forever

Listen

Reflection: Physical food is important, but spiritual food is more important.

Wisdom 3-5: When good people die, they are in God's hands. Even if they died a tragic death, they are at peace. A long life is not what makes a person honorable. Honor is due to anyone of any age who is wise and understanding. On the other hand, arrogance and misuse of wealth bring dishonor, in this life and in the next.
Our life is short. We must live it wisely and well.

Dear Lord, please help me to live my life wisely and not foolishly

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 146: My soul, give praise to the Lord. I will praise the Lord all my days. Put no trust in princes, in mortal men in whom there is no help. Take their breath, they return to clay and their plans that day come to nothing. They are happy who are helped by Jacob's God, whose hope is in the Lord our God, who alone made heaven and earth, the seas and all they contain. It is he who gives bread to the hungry, the Lord, who sets prisoners free. It is the Lord who gives sight to the blind, who raises up those who are bowed down. It is the Lord who protects the stranger and upholds the widow and orphan. It is the Lord who loves the just but thwarts the path of the wicked. The Lord will reign for ever, Zion's God, from age to age.
Lord, please increase my trust and faith in you

Listen

 

Romans 12.9-13: Do not let your love be superficial, but sincerely prefer good to evil. Have a family love for each other, and a profound respect for each other. Persevere in your love for the Lord and your service of the Lord. Hope will make you cheerful. Do not give up when trials come. Keep on praying. Help people who are in need. Make hospitality your special care
Jesus, please help me grow in love. Help me love you and other people a bit better

Listen

 


John 6.16-21:
That evening, the disciples got into a boat to cross the sea to Capernaum. The wind became strong and the sea became rough. They had rowed about 4km when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, coming towards them. They were frightened, but he said "It is I. Do not be afraid". He got into the boat, and it quickly arrived at Capernaum
Jesus, help me remember that you are in my boat

Wisdom 1-2: Love virtue, honesty and simplicity, since God is found by people whose hearts are seeking goodness. Selfishness, dishonesty and bad habits, these close the door of our hearts and prevent Wisdom from entering. Bad people persecute good people, since the lives of good people are a reproach to bad people.
Lord, please help me to be a good person

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 145: I will give you glory, O God my king. I will bless your name day after day. The Lord is great, worthy of all praise. His greatness cannot be measured. Age to age shall proclaim your works, shall speak of your splendor and glory. The Lord is kind and full of compassion, slow to anger, abounding in love. How good is the Lord to all, compassionate to all his creatures. All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord, and tell all the world of your love. The Lord is faithful in all his words and loving in all his deeds. The Lord supports all who fall and raises all who are bowed down. The eyes of all creatures look to you and you give them their food each day. The Lord is close to all who call him, who call on him from their hearts. Let the whole world bless the Lord's holy name, for ever, for ages unending.
Thank you, Lord, for your love. Thank you for your love

Listen

 

Romans 12.1-2: I beg you, trust in God's mercy, and worship him in a spiritual way, not just in an external way. Offer your whole life to him as a holy sacrifice. Do not blindly follow the fashions of the world. Instead, let your behavior change, fashioned by your enlightened mind. This is the way to discover the will of God, the way to know what God wants us to do
Jesus, help me give more time to things that are important, less time to things not so important

Listen

 


John 6.1-15:
Near the Sea of Galilee, a large crowd followed Jesus, attracted by the way he healed so many sick people. Jesus climbed a hillside and sat there with his disciples. Seeing the huge crowd, Jesus said to one of his disciples "How can we feed so many people?" The disciple Andrew said "There's a young boy here with 5 loaves and 2 fish. But what good is that for such a huge crowd?" Jesus said "Make the people sit down". The crowd of about 20,000 sat down on the grass. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and gave them out to all the people. He did the same with the fish. Everyone ate as much as they wanted to. The people, seeing this miracle, said "He really is God's great prophet".  Jesus, aware that they wanted to make him king, slipped away and went up the hill by himself
Jesus, please bless my prayers and actions to help others, just as you blessed the loaves and fish 

 
01 02

 

Reflection: The name "Jesus" in Chinese is 耶穌. The right hand character is made up of two parts. The left hand part means "fish" and the right hand part can mean "bread"!

 

---------------------------

 To go with today's Gospel ....imagine what that boy said when he got home ...."Mum, you'll never guess what happened to the two fish and five loaves" (... although I guess his parents would have been among the 20,000?)!
