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 

The apostles continued to witness to the resurrection
of the Lord Jesus with great power

The whole group of believers was united, heart and soul.
They willingly shared everything they had with people who were in need 

Jesus, help me to be more caring and sharing

O sing a new song to the Lord.
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
O sing to the Lord, bless his name.

Proclaim his help day by day.
Tell among the nations his glory,
and his wonders among all the peoples.

It was the Lord who made the heavens.
Give the Lord, you families of peoples,
give the Lord glory and honor.

Bring an offering and enter his temple.
Worship the Lord in his sacred place.

Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.
Let the sea and all within it thunder praise.

Let the land and all it bears rejoice,
all the trees of the forest shout for joy.

Everyone and everything,
give the Lord glory and honor.

Lord, you are our Creator. We love and praise you

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

Jesus, crucified Lord, please increase my faith in you

Jesus, with the power of the Spirit in him, returned to Galilee.
He taught in local prayer halls. His reputation spread

He came to his home town of Nazareth and went to the prayer hall
on the Sabbath day as he usually did

He stood up and read these words from the prophet Isaiah:
"The spirit of the Lord has been given to me.
He has sent me to bring good news to the poor,
to proclaim liberty to prisoners,
to give sight to the blind,
to set the downtrodden free"

Jesus then sat down and said to the people in the prayer hall
"These words from Isaiah are being fulfilled today even as you listen"

Jesus, please help me be more open to the power of your Spirit.
O Holy Spirit, please increase your influence in my life
