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        Previous Bible Plans 

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 

When Tobias and Raphael reached Media,
they went to the home of their relative Raguel, father of Sarah.

Tobias asked Raguel for Sarah to be his wife.
Raguel told Tobias that 7 previous bridegrooms had died.

Tobias repeated his request, and Sarah became his wife.
That night everyone prayed for the safety of the couple.

Dear God, please bless everyone being married this month

(Many things in this psalm happened to Jesus when he was put to death. 
This psalm prophesizes Jesus' death)

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
I call to you for help, but day and night you give no reply.

I am a worm and not a man.
Everyone who sees me makes fun of me.

They taunt  me: "He trusted in the Lord, why doesn't the Lord help him?"

Like water I am poured out, my bones no longer connected.
My throat is parched, my tongue sticks to my jaws.

Many evil people attack me.
They make holes in my hands and my feet.
They await my death.

They divide my clothing among them,
they throw a dice for my robe.

Yet I know Lord, that  you are good and holy.
I know how you heard the cries of our ancestors and you helped them.

It was you who took me from the womb
and entrusted me to my mother's breast.

To you I was committed from my birth,
from my mother's womb you have been my God.

Lord, I trust in you even now.
I trust you will not scorn my prayer.

Even now I praise you as my Creator.
May all the nations know and worship you.

Lord, please help people who are in big trouble right now,
especially people whose lives are in danger

The Son did not become an angel.
He became a man, so that he could die for us

By his death he took away the power of the devil

He himself experienced temptation.
He is able to help us when we are tempted

Jesus, please help me when I am tempted to do something wrong

As Jesus was being led to the place of crucifixion,
a man named Simon from Cyrene was coming into Jerusalem from the country.
He was made to carry the cross behind Jesus

Large numbers of people followed him, including women who mourned for him.
Jesus said to them "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me.
Weep rather for yourselves and for your children.
For if this is how innocent people are treated, what will happen to people who are guilty?"

Two criminals were led out with Jesus to be crucified with him

Jesus, please help me to carry my cross each day
