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 called the whole of Israel together and said to them:

"Keep the words of this covenant and observe them
and you will thrive in all you do.

Let there be no man or woman among you,
no clan or tribe, whose heart turns away from the Lord your God
to go and serve the gods of the nations.

If ever you are scattered from the land God is giving you,
God will bring you back when your hearts turn back to him.

The Lord will circumcise your hearts
until you love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul.

This law I enjoin on you today is not beyond your strength
or beyond your reach.

It is not in heaven, so that you need to wonder
'who will go up to heaven for us and bring it down to us
so that we may hear it and keep it?'

Nor is it beyond the seas, so that you need to wonder
'who will cross the sea for us and bring it back to us,
so that we may hear it and keep it?'

No, the Word is very near to you.
It is in your mouth and in your heart for your observance.

See, today I set before you life and prosperity,
death and disaster.

If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God,
if you love the Lord your God and follow his ways,
if you keep his commandments, his laws, his customs,
you will live and increase,
and the Lord your God will bless you
in the land which you are entering to make your own.

But if your heart strays, if you refuse to listen,
if you let yourself be drawn into worshipping other gods
and serving them,
I tell you today, you will most certainly perish;
you will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan
to enter and possess.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today:
I set before you life or death, blessing or curse.

Choose life, then, so that you and your descendants
may live in the love of the Lord your God,
obeying his voice, clinging to him.

For in this your life consists,
and on this depends your long stay in the land
which the Lord swore to your fathers
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob he would give them."

Dear Lord, please help more and more people
to choose life and blessings...and not to turn their backs on you

The Lord's is the earth and all its peoples.
It is the Lord who is Creator of the universe.

May all hearts open their doors to the Lord.
Let him enter, the king of glory.

Lord I hope in you all the day long.
Forgive my sins and help me walk in your truth.

God my savior, teach me your way of truth

From Paul, appointed by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, 
and from Timothy, one of the brothers, to the church of God at Corinth

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
a gentle Father and the God of all consolation.
He comforts us in all our sorrows so that we can comfort others in their sorrows

The recent persecutions I experienced made me think I would not survive. 
This has taught me to rely not on myself but only on God for help

God saved me from being killed. My hope is he will continue to save me

Jesus, please help people who are in danger of being killed today

Jesus, help religious leaders to be good people
