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 one of David's victories against the Philistines,
the Israelite women came to meet David and Saul singing
"Saul has killed thousands, David tens of thousands."

From that day Saul became jealous of David

Saul realized that the Lord was with David
and that the people loved David.

Saul was filled with jealousy of David
and wanted to kill him.

Saul more and more treated David like an enemy.

Dear God, please don't let me jealous of other people

My soul, give thanks to the Lord.
All my being, bless his holy name.

My soul, give thanks to the Lord
and never forget all his blessings.

It is he who forgives all your guilt,
who heals every one of your ills.

It is he who fills your life with good things,
renewing your youth like an eagle's life.

The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy.

As the heavens are high above the earth
so strong is his love for those who fear him.

As far as the East is from the West,
so far does he remove our sins.

As a father has compassion on his sons,
the Lord has pity on all who love and honor him.

Give thanks to the Lord, all his angels,
who heed the voice of his word.

Give thanks to the Lord, everyone and everything.
My soul, give thanks to the Lord!

Thank you, Lord, for your love and compassion

I pray that you will continue to grow in your Christian life,
a life full of good deeds

Never give in when trials come, but bravely, even joyfully,
carry your cross each day

Keep on thanking the Father who has rescued us from the power of darkness, 
and brought us into the kingdom of the Son his loves, 
in whom we gain our freedom, the forgiveness of our sins

Father, thank you for letting me be a Christian.
Help me be a good Christian

John the Baptist, imprisoned by King Herod, heard  the news about Jesus.
John sent two of his friends to ask Jesus "Are you the promised One?"

Jesus replied "Go and tell John what you have seen today:
the blind see again, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear,
the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is proclaimed to the poor"

Jesus then spoke to the people about John:
"Everyone who accepted baptism from John acknowledged God's plan.
But by refusing baptism from him,
the religious leaders thwarted what God had in mind for them"

Jesus, please don't let me do anything to thwart your plan for my life
