Computer Cud         V 2 asks us to read the Bible every day,   'to have a burning love'   for the Word of God              Resolution

This plan follows the Sunday liturgy:    reading + psalm + reading + gospel                  From  www.simplebible.info 

O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today. 
May these passages give me hope, strength, wisdom, courage and peace for my daily life 

In order to avoid the land of Edom,
the Israelites headed towards the coastline.

But the people again criticized God and Moses.

So God sent  snakes among the people and many people died. 

The people then said to Moses "We have sinned; please pray for us to save us".

Moses prayed for them, and God heard his prayer.

God told Moses to make a bronze snake and put it on a pole.

Anyone bitten by a snake could then look at the bronze snake and live

Jesus' words  (John 3.13):
 "The Son of Man must be lifted up as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, 
so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him".

O Lord, you search me and you know me.
You know my resting and my rising.

You know exactly what's going on in my life,
all my ways are an open book to you.

Before ever a word is on my tongue,
You know, O Lord, what I'm going to say.

Your knowledge is beyond my understanding,
too high, beyond my reach.

It was you who created my being,
knit me together in my mother's womb.

I thank you for the wonder of my life,
for the wonders of all your creation.

Lord, thank you for the gift of life. 
Please help me follow the path to eternal life

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

Jesus and his disciples went to his home town of Nazareth.
On the Sabbath he went to the prayer hall and began teaching.

People in the prayer hall were astonished at his teaching.
"Who does he think he is?" they asked.
 "He is just a carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, Joset, Jude and Simon.
His sisters also are here."   And they would not accept him.

So Jesus said to them 
"A prophet is despised only in his own country "

Because of their lack of faith, Jesus cured only a few sick people there.
He was amazed at the lack of faith in Nazareth.

Jesus, please help me be happy about your gifts to others
