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 Lord told Samuel to go to Bethlehem
and anoint one of Jesse's sons as king.

Samuel anointed Jesse's son David as king.

The spirit of the Lord came down on David
and stayed with him from that day on.

Dear God, may your Holy Spirit
come down on more and more people

My song is of mercy and justice.
I sing to you, O Lord.

I will try to walk with blameless heart.
I will try to give my attention to what is good, not what is bad.

People who slander others, people of proud looks,
these will not be my friends.

People who are good and do good,
these will be my friends

Dear Lord, please help me to avoid bad company

I have learnt how to manage on whatever I have.
I am ready for anything anywhere:
full stomach or empty stomach, poverty or plenty

There is nothing I cannot master
with the help of the One who gives me strength

I thank you my friends for supporting me financially, 
especially when I was in great need. 

Jesus, bless everyone who has helped me
in any way since the day I was born

Jesus went to the town of Capernaum. In the town there was a Roman soldier, a centurion, who had a dear servant who has sick and close to death

Having heard about Jesus, the centurion sent some Jewish friends to ask Jesus to come and heal his servant

The Jewish friends said to Jesus "He deserves this of you. He is friendly to our people.
He is the one who built our prayer hall"

Jesus went with them,  but before they reached the house the centurion sent some servants with the message "Sir, I am not worthy to receive you into my house. This is why I didn't come to you personally.  Just say a word, and my servant will be healed"

When Jesus heard these words, he said to the crowd following him
"I have not found faith as great as this man's"

When the messengers got back to the house,
they saw that the servant was healed and in perfect health

"Jesus,  I am not worthy to receive you.  Say but the word and I shall be healed"
 (prayer from Communion service)
