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 

Moses continued his speech to the people:

"You are a people consecrated to the Lord your God.
It is you that the Lord our God has chosen
to be his very own people out of all the peoples on the earth.

But know this:
if the Lord set his heart on you and chose you,
it was not because you outnumbered other peoples.
In fact you were the least of all peoples.

It was for love of you and to keep his promise to our ancestors
that the Lord chose you.

Listen then to these ordinances, be true to them and observe them,
and in return the Lord your God will be true to you.

He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers.
He will bless the fruit of your body and the produce of your soil,
your corn, your wine, your oil, the issue of your cattle,
the young of your flock.

No man or woman among will shall be barren,
no male or female of your beasts infertile.

The Lord will keep all sickness far from you.

Be loyal then to the Lord
and have nothing to do with the religious practices
of the people you will conquer."

Dear God, please help us to love you as we should

At the start of this day I pray to you, O Lord, my King and my God. 
I offer you my prayer and ask for your help.

Through the greatness of your love, I have access to your friendship.
I bow down in reverence and worship.

Lead me, Lord, in the way you want me to go.

It is you, Lord, who bless good people.
You surround them with favors, as with a shield.

Lord, I adore you as my Creator

We should respect our bodies as a gift from the Lord.
Our bodies are not meant for fornication

Avoid sexual activity that avoids commitment

Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in you.
Let people know that your body is not something to be profaned

Jesus, please help me avoid sex outside marriage

A man brought his son to Jesus and pleaded:

"Master, there is a spirit of dumbness in my son. When it takes hold of him,
it throws him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and goes rigid"

They brought the boy. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, it threw the boy into convulsions

Jesus asked the father "How long has this been happening?"
He replied "From childhood....please help us!"

Jesus said "Everything is possible if you have faith".
The father cried out "Please increase my faith!"

Jesus rebuked the evil spirit: "Deaf and dumb spirit, 
I command you: come out of him and never enter him again"

The spirit came out, but the boy seemed to have died. 
Jesus took him by the hand and helped him up

Jesus' disciples asked "Why were we unable to expel that spirit?"
Jesus replied "Only prayer can drive out that kind of spirit"

Jesus, please help me prayer better, so that I can help other people more
