Tobit 11

When Tobias returned home, his parents  were full of joy.

Tobias followed Raphael's instructions
and applied the fish gall to his blind father's eyes.

Tobias then peeled away a filmy skin from the eyes
and his father Tobit was able to see again.

Tobit and Tobias  joyfully praised God.

Tobit welcomed Sarah and held a banquet for all his friends.

Dear God, please give sight to the blind people I know,
just as you gave back sight to Tobit long ago


Psalm 27

The Lord is my light and my help, whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life, before whom shall I shrink?
Though an army encamp against me, even then would I trust.

There is one thing I ask of the Lord, for this I long: 
to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.

It is your face, O Lord, that I seek. Hide not your face.
I am sure I will see your goodness in the land of the living.

Hope in the Lord, hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord!

Lord, you are my light and my help. 
I will always praise you.


Hebrews 6

May every one of you persevere in your Christian life. 
Never give up

Remember how Abraham persevered in following God, 
despite so many difficulties

Take a firm grip on the hope that is held out to us by God.
This hope is an anchor for us, a lifeline going right up to heaven
 

Jesus, you are my anchor. You are my lifeline


Luke 23

At about midday, there was an eclipse of the sun.
The whole land was in darkness until about 3pm

The veil of the Temple was torn right down the middle

Jesus cried out in a loud voice "Father, into your hands I entrust my life".
Then he died

When the Roman army leader saw what had happened, 
he said "This was a great and good man"

The people who had been present went home asking God for mercy.
Jesus' friends stood at a distance and saw all that had happened

Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for the salvation of the world
