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 Tobit's banquet was finished,
Tobit wanted to thank Raphael for all his help.

Only then did Raphael tell Tobit and Tobias
that he was an angel sent by God to help them.

"I am Raphael, one of the 7 angels who stand ever ready
to enter the presence of the glory of the Lord.

Never tire of giving God thanks.
And never tire of helping the poor."

Raphael fareweled them, rose in the air, and left them.
They praised and thanked God for all he had done for them.

Dear God, thank you for all your love, all your blessings

To you, O Lord, I call, my rock, hear me.
If you do not heed, I shall become like people in the grave.

Lord, you are my strength and my shield.
In you my heart trusts.

Thank you, Lord, for so often hearing my prayer.
I will always thank and praise you.

You are the strength of your people Israel.
Save your people. Be our shepherd and carry us for ever.

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, please help people who are in big danger today

Melchizedek was king of Salem and a priest of God.
He blessed Abraham.  Abraham gave Melchizedek 10% of all he had

Melchizedek's priesthood continued down the ages in people dedicated to the service of God. 
It reached its perfection in the Son of God, the Eternal High Priest

The Son of God, our Lord, did not come from the priestly tribe of Levi. 
Everyone knows he came from the tribe of Judah

This is because he established a new priesthood, coming not from Levi, but from Melchizedek.
This is why the prophecy was made of him "You are a priest of the order of Melchizedek, for ever"

Jesus' priestly power to save us is utterly certain, 
since he is living for ever to intercede for all who come to God through him

Jesus, Eternal High Priest, please help all pastors and priests be more like you every day

Joseph from the town of Arimathaea was a member of the religious leaders' council.
He was a good and just man, and had not agreed to the killing of Jesus

Late Friday afternoon, he went to Governor Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
He took it down from the cross, wrapped it in a burial cloth,
and put it in a rock tomb that had not yet been used

The women from Galilee who had come to Jerusalem with Jesus went with Joseph to the tomb.
Then they left to prepare burial spices and ointments.
They planned to put these on Jesus' body after the Saturday Sabbath day of rest

Jesus in the tomb, please give eternal life to all the dead
