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 

Tobit was 62 when he went blind.
He died when he was 112.

After he was cured of blindness,
he continued his custom of helping the poor.

Before he died he said to Tobias:
"Take your family and move to Media,
since Nineveh will soon see war and strife.
Serve God sincerely, always be willing to help poor people."

After Tobit and Anna died, Tobias moved to Media
and lived with Raguel his father in law.

Dear God, please help me imitate Tobit 
in his kindness to poor people

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in distress.
My eyes are full of tears, my heart full of sorrow.

Everyone makes fun of me. My friends don't want to know me.
Save me, Lord, from this mess.

I praise you Lord, for you protect those who trust you.
You keep them safe from slander and lies.

Be strong, let your heart take courage,
all you who  trust in the Lord

Jesus is the supreme High Priest of the whole house of God.
As we enter that house, let us have sincere hearts that are filled with faith and hope

Let us be concerned for each other, 
encouraging each other to do good

Do not stay away from the meetings as some people do,
but encourage each other to attend

Jesus, may my life encourage others to do good

That same day, two of Jesus' disciples were on their way from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, about 7 km from Jerusalem

As they talked about all that had happened, Jesus himself joined them as they walked along. But they did not recognize him

When Jesus asked them what they were talking about, they said "About Jesus of Nazareth,  and how our leaders had him crucified. And how some women in our group went to Jesus' tomb and were told by angels that he was alive"

Jesus then explained the Scripture passages which predicted his suffering and resurrection

Jesus joined the two men for an evening meal. During the meal,
he blessed  some bread and gave it to them. They then recognized him. But he immediately vanished from their sight

They said to each other "Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?"

Straight away they returned to Jerusalem where the eleven apostles said to them "Yes, it is true. The Lord has risen"

Then they told their story of what had happened on the road, and how they had  recognized Jesus at the breaking of bread

Jesus, please make my heart burn within me as I read the Bible
