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 

After Ehud died, the Israelites again began to stray from the Lord
and therefore again lost their freedom and peace.

The Lord then used Deborah, who was a judge and prophetess, 
to rescue the people.

Deborah instructed Barak son of Abinoam
to go and do battle with Sisera, the people's oppressor.

Barak said he would go only if Deborah went with him.
She agreed but then said that his hesitation 
would cause the Lord to give battle victory to a woman, not Barak.

When  Barak's forces routed those of Sisera,
Sisera fled and took refuge in the tent of Jael, wife of Heber.

As Sisera slept from exhaustion,
Jael drove a tent peg into his head and he died.

So once again the Lord had rescued the Israelites.

Dear God, please give me more courage in the battle of life,
(and please protect and bless  Barack Obama!) 

O God, be gracious and bless us
and let your face shine its light upon us.

Let all the peoples praise you, O God.
Let all the peoples praise you.

O sing to the Lord, make music to his name.
Rejoice in the Lord, exult at his presence.

Father of the orphan, defender of the widow,
God provides a shelter for the homeless.

God gives his people strength.

May all the peoples of the earth know you 
and praise you, O God

From Paul, appointed to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. 
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Before the world was made, he chose us in Christ,
to live through love in his presence

He chose us, in Christ, to be his adopted children,
to make us praise the glory of his grace

This grace is his free gift to us in his Beloved Son,
through whose blood we gain our freedom
and the forgiveness of our sins

Father, thank you for upgrading me from human child to Divine Child!

Mary said "My soul praises the greatness of the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
Starting from today, all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty has done great things for me"

Mary stayed with Elizabeth about 3 months and then went home

Elizabeth gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives shared her joy.
When the child was circumcised on the 8th day, he was given the name John

Jesus, please bless all women who are having a baby today
