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 

Naomi told Ruth to go to the threshing shed of Boaz
and to sleep there at the feet of Boaz,
this action symbolizing her wish to marry Boaz.

When Boaz discovered Ruth there during the night,
he praised Ruth for wanting to continue Elimelech's family.

The next day, Boaz went to the gate of Bethlehem
and met the only man who preceded him
in the legal right to marry Ruth.

The man agreed to let Boaz marry Ruth
and so Boaz took Ruth as his wife.

Boaz and Ruth had a son, Obed.
Obed was the father of Jesse whose son was King David.

Dear God, please bless all grandparents,
as you blessed David's great grandparents Ruth and Boaz 

Lord my God, day and night I call to you for help.
Please turn your ear to my cry.

For my soul is filled with evils.
My life is on the brink of the grave.

I am reckoned as one in the tomb.
I have reached the end of my strength.

Will your love be told in the grave?
Will your wonders be known in the dark?

Fear surrounds  me like a flood.
They keep on assailing me.

All my friends have deserted me.
My only companion is darkness.

Lord, please help people who are in despair

In your families, treat each other as Christ wants you to:

Wives, in your husbands see Christ the head of the Church.
Husbands,  love your wives as Christ loves the Church

When men and women get married, they become one body.
This sacred action helps us understand the relationship between Christ and the Church

Jesus, please help husbands and wives to love each other
the way you love the Church

Luke 4

Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee.
On the Sabbath day he taught in the local prayer hall

In the hall there was a man possessed by a devil which shouted
"What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are: the Holy One of God"

Jesus said sharply "Be quiet! Come out of him".
And the devil left the man without hurting him

People in the hall said "He gives orders to unclean spirits and they obey him".
Jesus' reputation continued to spread through the district

Jesus, please protect my family from evil
