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 campaign to subdue the whole land had taken a long time.
Joshua especially thanked the tribes from across the Jordan for their help.

These tribes - Reuben, Gad and Manasseh - 
had been given land on the Eastern side of the Jordan, 
but still helped in the campaign to control the Western side.

Joshua said to them:
"Despite the fact that the campaign has lasted so long,
you have loyally helped your brothers.

Keep on loving the Lord your God, following his paths.
Be loyal to him and serve him with all your heart."

Dear Lord, please help me to be loyal 
- to you, to my family and to my country

I will turn my mind to a parable,
with the harp I will solve a problem.

The problem is: why do bad people prosper and succeed?

The answer: at the end of their lives bad people will have to face death and judgement, 
just like everyone else.

When we are rich, we often lack wisdom.
Wealth blinds our minds and hearts.

Let's not forgot God and his laws.
Let's try to be good and lead good lives

Lord, please help me understand the meaning of life

Serve one another in works of love,
since the whole of the Law is summed up in the command
 "Love your neighbor as yourself"

If you go in for non-stop criticism and personal attacks,
you will destroy the church community

Jesus, help me avoid unfair/unnecessary criticism of other people

Jesus, help me understand your Good News
