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 

Among the men of the tribe of Benjamin
there was a very tall and very handsome man named Saul.

Once when he went in search of his father's stray donkeys,
he met up with Samuel.

The Lord had told Samuel that he would meet Saul,
and that he should be anointed as king.

And so Samuel took some oil and poured it on Saul's head.
He told Saul that the Lord had chosen him to be king.

Samuel presented Saul to the people.
The people acclaimed Saul saying "Long live the king"

Dear Lord, please protect and guide all people in authority

The Lord is king, let earth rejoice,
the many coastlands be glad.

Cloud and darkness are his robes.
His throne is justice and goodness.

The skies proclaim his goodness.
All peoples see his glory.

Let those who serve idols be ashamed.
Let all creation worship  the Creator.

Light shines forth for good people
and joy for the upright of heart.

Rejoice in the Lord, all good people.
Give glory to his holy name.

Lord, you indeed are God of the universe

Because of Christ, I have come to consider all my former advantages as a scholar
as disadvantages

Nothing is more important than knowing Christ Jesus my Lord

For him I have accepted the loss of everything, 
and I look on everything as so much rubbish if only I can have Christ

All I want is to know Christ and the power of his resurrection.
I want to share his sufferings by carrying the Cross with him

This is the way I can hope to receive eternal life

Christ Jesus my Lord, knowing you is No. 1

Jesus said to his disciples
"Blessed are you who are poor: yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who are hungry: you shall be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now: you shall be happy

Blessed are you when people hate you because of me:
your reward will be great in heaven

But alas for you who are rich: your consolation is only in this world.
Alas for you who have plenty to eat: you shall go hungry.
Alas for you who laugh now: you shall mourn and weep"

Jesus, please help me to give more time and importance to the things that really matter
