Computer Cud         Vatican II 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 

After wandering in the desert for 40 years,
the Israelites reached the land of Canaan.

Moses then assembled  the people
and recalled all that had happened over the past 40 years:

"When God first told us to take this land,
I said to you: Do not be afraid. God goes ahead of you
and will be fighting on your side, as he did in Egypt.

I also said how God carried you, as a man carries his child,
all along the road you travelled to this place.

But you did not trust God
and God closed the door to Canaan for 40 years,
causing us to wander in the desert until now."

Dear God, please help me to trust you a bit more

Happy the person who avoids evil and evil entertainment.
Happy the person who reads and meditates on God's words.

Such a person is like a tree planted beside a river,
getting plenty of nourishment, bearing plenty of fruit.

Such a person is on the Way of Life.
People who do evil are on the Way of Death.

Dear Lord, please help me do good and avoid evil

The language of the Cross doesn't make sense for some people. 
But for us it is God's power to save

While the Jews demand miracles and the Greeks require philosophy, 
here we are preaching a crucified Christ: 
to the Jews an obstacle they cannot get over, to the pagans madness

During my stay with you, I relied not on philosophy or my own efforts,
but only on the power of the Spirit

The wisdom we teach is about things no eye has seen, and no ear has heard.
things beyond human understanding - all that God has prepared for those who love him

Jesus, crucified Lord, please increase my faith in you

Jesus traveled through the area south of the Sea of Galilee.
A deaf man with a speech impediment was brought to him.

Jesus took the man aside in private, away from the crowd.
He put his fingers into the man's ears and put spittle on his tongue.

Then he prayed and said "Be opened".
The man's ears were opened and his speech became normal.

The people said "He has done all things well.
He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak".

Jesus,  heal (..name..) who is "deaf and dumb"
