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 Samson's death, there was no leader in Israel
and everyone did as they pleased
as lawlessness and anarchy became widespread.

Dear Lord,  please don't let lawlessness increase in our world.

I will hear what the Lord God has to say,
a voice that speaks of peace.

Peace for his people and his friends
and those who turn to him in their hearts.

His help is near for those who love him
and his glory will dwell in our land.

Mercy and faithfulness have met.
Justice and peace have embraced.

Faithfulness shall spring from the earth
and justice shall look down from heaven.

The Lord will make us prosper
and our earth shall yield its fruit.

Justice shall march before him
and peace shall follow his steps

Lord, please give more peace to our world

You must give up your old way of life.
You must put aside your old self and its delusions

Your mind must be renewed by a spiritual revolution, 
so that you can follow a way of life based on goodness and truth

From now on, no more lies.
Delete anger from your mind at the end of each day

Anyone who was a thief must stop stealing. Try to find a decent job

Guard against foul talk.
Let your conversation encourage people, not drag them down

Avoid grudges. Don't lose your temper.
Don't raise your voice to anyone. Don't call people names

Be friends with one another, and kind,
forgiving one another as readily as God forgives us in Christ

Jesus, help me put these words into practice

Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.
For 40 days he ate nothing, and was tempted by the Devil

The Devil said "If you are the Son of God, turn a stone into bread".
Jesus replied "Scripture says we do not live on bread alone"

The Devil took him to a high place and showed him all the kingdoms of the world. "Worship me and they will all be yours" he said.
Jesus replied "Scripture says we must worship only God"

Then the Devil took him to the top of the Temple in Jerusalem and said
"If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down and let the angels protect you"

Jesus replied "Scripture says we must not put the Lord our God to the test".
The Devil then left him

Jesus, protect us from the Devil and all evil
