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 

Instructed by the Lord,
Joshua told the people to go to the bank of the Jordan River.

He told the priests carrying the Sacred Chest
to stand in the river on the edge of the water.

As soon as the feet of the priests touched the water,
the river stopped flowing.

The people then went across the dry river bed towards Jericho.

Dear God, please help me  to cross rivers of difficulty, doubt, conflict etc

Ring out your joy to the Lord, all good people,
for praise is fitting for loyal hearts.

For the Lord loves justice and right;
he fills the earth with his love.

By his word the heavens were made,
he spoke and the universe came into being.

They are happy, whose God is the Lord,
he is the source of all true  joy.

May your love be upon us, O Lord,
since we place all our trust in you.

Lord, we trust in your precious love

Soon I will be with you for a third time.
What I ask is that you live the way God wants you to live

So, grow in your Christian life. Help one another. Be united.
Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father,
and the friendship of the Holy Spirit be with you all

Father, Son and Holy Spirit, help me live the way you want me to live

While Jesus was still speaking, Judas arrived.
Judas had with him a large crowd of men with swords and clubs,
sent by the religious leaders

Judas had told these men "The one I kiss is the man. Take him".
So Judas went  to Jesus and said  "Rabbi" and kissed him.
The men  then seized Jesus

Jesus said to them "Am I a robber that you needed to capture me with swords and clubs?
Day after day I was openly teaching in the Temple"

All the apostles then deserted him and ran away

Jesus, when  I am being treated unfairly by other people, please give me strength
