Dear Friends

In two days time the Pope will host "The Synod of Bishops" in Rome,
from Oct 7 to Oct 28

I presume most of the participants, including HK's Cardinal John Tong, are already in Rome preparing for the Synod

Cardinal Tong is one of 3 presidents for the Synod

Let's pray each day "Come Holy Spirit and powerfully bless the Synod!"

------

HK yesterday began three official days of mourning for the 38 victims of last Monday night's ferry collision.
Wednesday night's races and this week's Mark Six lottery were among a number of activities cancelled in view of the tragedy

As the days go on, facts like this are beginning to emerge:

HK Maritime Department regulations for boats carrying passengers to watch fireworks - note Annex, no 6 (b), safety measures, which says:
"all children on board should wear life jackets at all times"

(Five children were among the 38...none of them wearing a life jacket)

------

On this 5th of the month, Jesus please bless the people of Guizhou
(Please join me in praying for one part of China each day of the month)

Today's English editorial in the Ming Pao newspaper (HK),
Means Test is a Must 
and my recording of same, 
can be accessed here  from midday HK time today to mid-evening HK time tonight

My Bible Plan for today = Please join me in using these readings for courage for our daily lives

Thank you for a prayer

God bless!

John W
