Australia should stand up to Sri Lanka

Overwhelming power lies in the hands of the President and his brothers, one of whom is the Secretary to the Ministry of Defence and the other, a powerful Minister. A third brother is the Speaker of Parliament. Certainly it is not in jest that Sri Lankans speak of their monarchic ruling family which is above the law

For Israel, the beginning of wisdom is to admit its mistakes

Psalms 14-15:

So many people live and act as if God doesn't exist. Some foolish people even say there is no God.

So many people have left the way of justice and truth. So many people follow the way of falsehood.

Help us not to slander, help us not to wrong others.

Lord, please help me follow the way of justice and truth

Jesus, please give sick people the faith to be cured

Matthew 26:

The men who arrested Jesus took him to a meeting of the religious leaders. The leaders wanted to condemn Jesus to death, even if they had to use false evidence

Jesus remained silent before their accusations. Then the main leader challenged Jesus: "Are you the Saviour, the Son of God?"

Jesus replied "Yes". The main leader then called out "We have heard him claim to be of Divine origin. This is blasphemy".

The rest of the leaders shouted "He should die". Then they spat in Jesus' face and hit him with their fists.

Jesus, thank you for submitting yourself to insult and spittle
for the salvation of the world

269. Jesus himself is the model of this method of evangelization which brings us to the very heart of his people.

 How good it is for us to contemplate the closeness which he shows to everyone! 

If he speaks to someone, he looks into their eyes with deep love and concern: “Jesus, looking upon him, loved him” (Mk 10:21 ).

 We see how accessible he is, as he draws near the blind man (cf. Mk 10:46 -52) and eats and drinks with sinners (cf. Mk 2:16 ) without worrying about being thought a glutton and a drunkard himself (cf. Mt 11:19 ).

We see his sensitivity in allowing a sinful woman to anoint his feet (cf. Lk 7:36 -50) and in receiving Nicodemus by night (cf. Jn 3:1-15).

Romans 8:

We know that by turning everything to their good, God co-operates with all those who love him, with all those he has called according to his purpose.

They are the ones he chose specially long ago and intended to become true images of his Son, so that his Son might be the eldest of many brothers and sisters. 

He called those he intended for this; those he called he justified, and with those he justified he shared his glory.

Matthew 1:

A Celebration of Mary

^{Indeed, this day, September 8th, might well be a wonderfully chosen day to begin such a synod. There are all the appropriate images, "Mary", "woman", "ministry", "Christ", "birth" and "Church". Mary’s birthday, might well be, the birth of woman ministry, experienced in a brand new way…….new wine, new way.!}

268.  The word of God also invites us to recognise that we are a people: “Once you were no people but now you are God’s people” (1 Pet 2:10 ).

 To be evangelizers of souls, we need to develop a spiritual taste for being close to people’s lives and to discover that this is itself a source of great joy.

 Mission is at once a passion for Jesus and a passion for his people. 

When we stand before Jesus crucified, we see the depth of his love which exalts and sustains us, but at the same time, unless we are blind, we begin to realize that Jesus’ gaze, burning with love, expands to embrace all his people.

 We realize once more that he wants to make use of us to draw closer to his beloved people. He takes us from the midst of his people and he sends us to his people; without this sense of belonging we cannot understand our deepest identity.

China Mooncake Crackdown

“Never re-gift your mooncakes without looking inside the box first!”      

ISIS is a wake-up call to learn more about Islam. This video is excellent:
Quran Documentary - it discusses:
* The conflicting views of peace and violence in the Quran. 
* The Quran's emphasis on learning which produced great academic achievements. As early as the 9th century, Muslim scientists calculated the circumference of the earth, while medieval Europe clung to the concept of a flat earth. Trigonometry, Algebra and Geometry were wholly or largely Muslim inventions.
* The Sunni-Shia fault-line in Islam, and subdivisions, like Wahhabism (as in Saudi Arabia, which over the past  20 years, has spent US$100 billion propagating its militant version of Islam across the world, using a Quran that has been militantly edited).
* The huge contrast in treatment of women across the Muslim world. 
* Female genital circumcision

Psalm 95:

Come ring out our joy to the Lord.
Hail the rock who saves us. Let us come before him giving thanks.
With songs let us praise the Lord.

Come in, let us bow and bend low.
Let us kneel before the God who made us. For he is our God, and we are the people who belong to his pasture.

Romans 13:

Avoid getting into debt, except the debt of mutual love. If you love your neighbour you have carried out your obligations.

All the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, and so on, are summed up in this single command: You must love your neighbour as yourself. 

Love is the one thing that cannot hurt your neighbour; that is why it is the foundation of the commandments.

Pages 71-74 describe the bombing of Dresden in Germany, when 100,000 civilians were killed in one night, Feb 13, 1945 ....an atrocity greater than anything perpetrated by Hitler. 

Pages 75-85 describe the fire bombing of Tokyo, killing 126,762 and injuring many more ....another atrocity inflicted on civilians

And ... as in the bombing civilians in London and Germany, so in Japan, the bombing of civilians failed to break the spirit of the targeted people

So ...what did the US do? ....prepare to use an even more powerful bomb to kill even more civilians

267.  In union with Jesus, we seek what he seeks and we love what he loves.

 In the end, what we are seeking is the glory of the Father; we live and act “for the praise of his glorious grace” (Eph 1:6).

 If we wish to commit ourselves fully and perseveringly, we need to leave behind every other motivation.

 This is our definitive, deepest and greatest motivation, the ultimate reason and meaning behind all we do: the glory of the Father which Jesus sought at every moment of his life.

 As the Son, he rejoices eternally to be “close to the Father’s heart” (Jn 1:18 ). If we are missionaries, it is primarily because Jesus told us that “by this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit” (Jn 15:8). Beyond all our own preferences and interests, our knowledge and motivations, we evangelize for the greater glory of the Father who loves us.

Islam File - issues to be taken seriously if we want to protect our freedom

A fascinating article about the history of democracy in HK:

Hong Kong, City of broken promises

HK's business leaders stopped Britain from giving democracy to HK people!

This is a story that all HK people should know!

One comment on story at left:
I clearly remember being told by a UK government official in HK in 1985, that in order to protect basic freedoms in HK, Britain planned to set up a democratic structure before the handback to China. 
But such a structure was not in the Basic Law, so China was within its rights to dismantle it after the 1997 takeover.
Bottom line: Britain acted too late to protect freedoms in HK!

Acts 14:

Paul and Barnabas went to another city, Iconium. As usual, their first stop was the local Jewish prayer hall. Many Jews became believers, as did many non-Jewish people

During their stay in Iconium, Paul and Barnabas preached fearlessly for the Lord. And the Lord supported them by allowing miracles to be worked by them

But their success again aroused opposition, and they were in danger of being stoned. So they went to Lycaonia and preached the Good News there

Jesus, please help Gospel workers by allowing miracles to be worked by them

Matthew 26:

While Jesus was still speaking, Judas arrived. Judas had with him a large crowd of men with swords and clubs, sent by the religious leaders

Judas had told these men "The one I kiss is the man. Take him". So Judas went up to Jesus, said "Greetings, Master" and kissed him. The men then seized Jesus

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 of Jesus' apostles then deserted him and ran away

Jesus, when I feel I am being treated unfairly by other people,

Healthcare overboard
The plight of an asylum seeker who died from preventable septicaemia is so moving
because it is so blithely routine in this surreal system

Fatal cost of shutting borders

The world is getting richer, but also more unequal. There are conflicts around the globe, many of which stem from our own Machiavellian role in geopolitics and the careless historical drawing of lines on a map. We know that people will flee danger towards safety and move from poverty towards prosperity. And yet every influx is a surprise, exposing lack of strategy, lack of preparedness and a failure to see the big picture.

One way to learn wisdom, one way to learn how to avoid mistakes, 
is to study history, to learn the wisdom of the past, to learn about the mistakes of the past.
Famous saying: "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

This book is a classic for learning about the wisdom, or lack of wisdom, of the past:

Pages 29, 30, 31, 32 discuss:
- how the Japanese public of the early 1940's was kept in the dark about Japan's defeats
- how the Japanese public had accepted a false idea about Japan's destiny of greatness
- how Japan's shortage of raw materials influenced it to conquer other lands
- the role of Emperor Hirohito in wartime Japan

One day, a maths teacher was telling his students that they need to leave their answers in fractions, rather than converting them to decimals. He said: "do not round them off to decimals, because decimals are pointless"
(Decimal = a "point", so "decimals are pointless" is a pun)

266. Unless we see Jesus present at the heart of our missionary commitment, our enthusiasm soon wanes and we are no longer sure of what it is that we are handing on; we lack vigour and passion.

After their last meal, Jesus said to his apostles "Tonight all of you will desert me". 

Peter said "I will never desert you". Jesus replied "Tonight before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times". 

They came to a place with olive trees called Gethsemane. Jesus took Peter, James and John to a part of that area, and asked them to pray with him.

Jesus was overcome with sadness and fear. He said to them "Sadness is filling my heart, as if my heart is dying. Please support me as I pray."

Then he fell on his face and prayed for about an hour: "Father, don't let this suffering continue. But your will be done".

He stood up and found that the apostles were asleep. He said to them "Couldn't you stay awake one hour to support me?"

Three times he prayed the same way. Three times the apostles went to sleep.

 We know well that with Jesus life becomes richer and that with him it is easier to find meaning in everything.  This is why we evangelize. 

A true missionary, who never ceases to be a disciple, knows that Jesus walks with him, speaks to him, breathes with him, works with him.

 He senses Jesus alive with him in the midst of the missionary enterprise.

 It is impossible to persevere in a fervent evangelization unless we are convinced from personal experience that it is not the same thing to have known Jesus as not to have known him, not the same thing to walk with him as to walk blindly, not the same thing to hear his word as not to know it, and not the same thing to contemplate him, to worship him, to find our peace in him, as not to

One of Jesus' 12 apostles, Judas Iscariot, went to the religious leaders and offered to help them arrest Jesus at a convenient time.

The leaders paid Judas 30 pieces of silver. Judas looked for an opportunity to arrange the arrest.

A Chance Encounter
Maybe now we are fortunate to be offered the chance to live in a changing Church that seeks faith in its founder rather than in the many shades of clericalism that have dominated us in so many ways over recent years.

265. If we succeed in expressing adequately and with beauty the essential content of the Gospel, surely this message will speak to the deepest yearnings of people’s hearts:

 “The missionary is convinced that, through the working of the Spirit, there already exists in individuals and peoples an expectation, even if an unconscious one, of knowing the truth about God, about man, and about how we are to be set free from sin and death. The missionary’s enthusiasm in proclaiming Christ comes from the conviction that he is responding to that expectation”.

 Enthusiasm for evangelization is based on this conviction. We have a treasure of life and love which cannot deceive, and a message which cannot mislead or disappoint.

 It penetrates to the depths of our hearts, sustaining and ennobling us. It is a truth which is never out of date because it reaches that part of us which nothing else can reach. Our infinite sadness can only be cured by an infinite love.
