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 

Solomon enjoyed peace with all his neighbouring countries.
He was blessed by God with great wisdom and understanding.

He composed 3,000 proverbs and 1,000 songs.
People from all nations went to hear Solomon's wisdom.

Solomon made preparations for building a temple for the Lord.

Hiram, king of Tyre, made a treaty with Solomon.
Hiram provided wood for building the temple.

Dear God, please help all nations live peacefully with each other

To you have I lifted up my eyes,
you who dwell in the heavens.

My eyes, like the eyes of slaves
on the hand of their lords.

Like the eyes of a servant on the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God till he show us mercy.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy.
We are filled with contempt.

Indeed all too full is our soul with the scorn of the rich,
with the proud man's disdain.

Lord, please protect poor people from being exploited by rich people

The Lord's coming will not find us unprepared if we live a good life

You are not children of the night and of darkness.
You are children of the light and of the day

Put on faith and love for a breastplate.
Put on the hope of salvation for a helmet

Encourage one another. Strengthen one another

Jesus, please help me be a person of encouragement, not discouragement

Once when Jesus had finished praying in private,
one of his disciples asked him "Lord, teach us to pray".
Jesus replied "Pray like this:

Father, may everyone love and honor you.
Your kingdom come.
Thank you for enough food for today.
Forgive us as we forgive others.
Save us in time of trial"

Jesus, please teach me how to pray
