Hello again from Addis
Ababa the capital of Ethiopia where yesterday our 3 person team of Jane,
Samuel and I had a most moving visit to a centre for 200 mentally handicapped
men. Videos here.
From that centre we went to a nearby church ... encouraging them to help the
centre! And then a visit to a special place for a most important meeting re our
campaign to stop drug mules going to HK.
Thank you for a prayer for the trip. God bless all who made the trip possible

Deuteronomy
14-15: Moses' teaching:
"There are certain animals you must not eat, including pigs.
At the end of every 7 years, you must cancel all debts.
If there is a poor person among you,
do not harden your heart or close your hand against that person.
Always be generous to anyone in need."
Dear Lord, make me more
generous towards poor people
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
1: Happy the person who
avoids evil and evil entertainment.
Happy the person who reads and meditates on God's words. Such a
person is like a tree planted beside a river, getting plenty of
nourishment, bearing plenty of fruit. Such a
person is on the Way of Life.
People who do evil are on the Way of Death.
Dear
Lord, please help me do good and avoid evil
Listen
Acts
2.11-18: When people heard the apostles' group
speaking in many different languages, some said the apostles were drunk. Peter stood up with the Eleven and said to the
crowd:
These people are not drunk. It's only 9am....too early to drink.
What is happening is what God said through the prophet Joel: 'I, the Lord, will pour out my spirit on all
peoples. They will prophesy and see visions. I will pour out my spirit on
everyone'
Come Holy Spirit, fall afresh on all peoples,
all nations
Listen
Luke
9.1-6: Jesus called the 12 apostles together. He
gave them power and authority to cast out devils and to heal sick
people.
He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the
sick. So they set out and went from village to
village proclaiming the Good News and healing sick people
Jesus, help me understand how some
people have a special gift for healing sick people....and how I can
better pray to heal sick people
Listen
Reflection: "To heal the sick" .... may places like the centre I went to yesterday be places where the sick are healed!

"Be faithful in keeping all the instructions that I give you,
so that you and your children after you may be happy,
always doing what is good and right
in the eyes of the Lord your God.
If anyone, even someone from your own family,
tries to get you to worship a false god,

Dear
God, please don't let anyone influence me to forget you
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
149-150: Sing a new song to the Lord.
Let the praise of God be always on our lips. Praise God in his holy temple.
Praise him in the heavens. O praise him with sound of
trumpet.
Praise him with lute and harp.
Praise him with drums and dancing.
Praise him with strings and pipes. Let everything that lives and
breathes,
give praise to the Lord our Creator. Alleluia!
Lord, to you we say every day
"Allelu-ia" ("praise God")

Acts 2.1-4:
About ten days after Jesus' ascension to
heaven was the Feast of Pentecost. Jesus' 12 apostles, his mother,
several other women, and his brothers were together in one room. Suddenly they heard what sounded like a powerful wind.
Tongues of
fire appeared and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak
foreign languages
Come Holy Spirit, fall afresh on me. Fall
afresh on our world
Listen
Luke
8.40-56: A prayer hall official came to Jesus and
urgently asked him to go to his house, where his 12 year old daughter was
dying.
As Jesus and his friends were following the official to his home,
a woman who had a hemorrhage for 12 years came up behind Jesus and touched
his clothing. Her bleeding stopped at that moment.
Jesus knew what had happened and said to her
"My daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace".
Before Jesus arrived at the official's house, a messenger arrived
and said to the official "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the
Master any more". Jesus heard these words and said to the
official "Do not be afraid. Have faith, and she will be ok". At the house Jesus allowed only Peter, James,
John and the girl's parents to go with him inside.
To the mourners Jesus said "Stop crying.
She is not dead, but asleep". They laughed at him, since they
knew she was dead.
Jesus took the little girl by the hand and called to her "Child, get
up". Her spirit returned and she got up at once
Jesus, please increase my faith in your power to
heal sick people and raise the dead
Listen
Reflection: Jesus, please let healings be done, healings increase, in our day!

Deuteronomy 11:
Moses continued his
speech to the people:
"You must love the Lord your God.
Remember this day, how it was you who heard these words,
not your children.
It is your eyes that have seen the great works God has done.
Keep the Lord's commandments,
so that you may have strength to conquer the land God is giving you.
That land is a land of hills and valleys watered by rain from heaven.
If you love the Lord your God with all your heart
the Lord will give your land its rain in due season,
autumn and spring, so that you may harvest your corn, your wine and your oil.
But if you forget the Lord your God and worship other gods,
then the heavens will be closed and produce no rain.
See, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: a blessing if you obey the commandments of the Lord our God;
a curse if you disobey the commandments of the Lord our God."
Dear
Lord, please help us to obey you and never forget you,
and please give rain to places that urgently need it
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
148: Praise the Lord from the
heavens,
praise him in the heights. Praise him all his angels,
praise him all his spirits. Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, shining stars. Let them praise the name of the Lord.
His word gave life to all of them. Praise the Lord from the earth,
sea creatures and all oceans. Praise him fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy winds that obey his word. Praise him all mountains and hills,
all fruit trees and cedars.
Praise him all animals, wild and tame,
reptiles and birds in the air. Praise him all earth's kings and peoples,
earth's princes and rulers. Praise him young men and maidens,
old people together with children. Let them praise the name of the Lord.
He is the praise of all who love him.
Lord our God and Creator, you are worthy of all praise
Listen
Acts
1.15-26: During these days, Peter spoke to a group of about 120 disciples:
"As you know, Judas hanged himself after betraying Jesus. We must now
choose someone to take Judas' place, someone who has been with us since
the time when John was baptizing". Two men were nominated, Joseph and Matthias.
After prayer was offered, Matthias was chosen. He was listed as one of the
12 apostles
Jesus, please protect your church from
betrayal and disloyalty
Listen
Luke 8.22-25: Jesus and his disciples got into a boat to
cross the lake. Jesus was so tired that he went to sleep in
the boat.
Then a sudden storm caused big waves to lash the boat. Jesus' friends woke him up and said
"Master, we are sinking". Jesus ordered the wind and sea to be
calm.
Straight away the wind and sea were calm. The disciples said to each other
"Who is this? Even the wind and sea obey
him."
Jesus, please calm the storms in my life
Listen
Reflection: No other person in the history of the world has ever been obeyed by the wind and the sea ....c.f. Psalm 148, above, "stormy winds obey his word"!

Deuteronomy 10: Moses continued his
speech to the people:
"And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you?
Only this: to love and honor the Lord, to follow all his ways,
to serve him with all your heart and all your soul,
to keep the commandments and laws of the Lord
that for your good I set before you today.
Circumcise your heart and be obstinate no longer.
The Lord your God is great and good.
He it is you must praise, he is your God.
It is he who sees justice done for the orphan and widow,
who loves the stranger and gives him food and clothing.
You too must love the stranger,
for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt."
Dear Lord, please help me love you as I should
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
147: Praise the Lord for he is good.
Sing to our God for he is loving. To him our praise is due. The Lord builds up Jerusalem
and brings back Israel's exiles. He heals the broken-hearted
and binds up all their wounds. The Lord raises the lowly
and humbles the wicked. He fixes the number of the stars.
He calls each one by name. Our Lord is great and almighty.
His wisdom can never be measured. He covers the heavens with clouds.
He prepares rain for the earth, making mountains sprout with grass
and with plants to serve our needs. His delight is not in horses
nor his pleasure in warriors' strength. The Lord delights in those who love and honor
him,
in those who wait for his love.
It is right and fitting to
praise and love you, Lord our Creator
Listen
Acts 1.12-14: After Jesus went up to heaven from the Mount
of Olives, the apostles went back down to Jerusalem, a walk of about half
a kilometer. They gathered in an upstairs room which they used as
a meeting place. The 11 apostles were Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip,
Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon and Jude. They spent a long time
praying. With them were
several women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and also Jesus'
brothers
Jesus, your apostles' group spent
special time in prayer preparing for the coming of the Holy Spirit. I now
ask them in heaven to pray that the Holy Spirit will increase his
influence in my life
Listen
Luke
8.19-21: Jesus' mother and his brothers came looking
for him.
They could not get to him because of the crowd. Jesus was told "Your mother and brothers
want to see you". Jesus replied "My mother and brothers are
people who hear the word of God and put it into practice"
Jesus, please help me put your word into
practice in my daily life
Listen
Reflection on the above readings: Jesus' mother and brothers feature in today's reading from Acts and the Gospel. Many things had happened between the two occasions!

Deuteronomy
9: Moses continued his
speech to the people:
"Listen, Israel, you are soon to cross the Jordan River,
to dispossess nations greater and stronger than yourself.
Know that the Lord your God will go in front of you.
So often in the past you forgot the Lord.
So often you were rebels and did not obey the Lord.
In future you must rebel no more."
Dear
Lord, please don't let me ever rebel against you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
146: My soul, give
praise to the Lord.
I will praise the Lord all my days. Put no trust in princes,
in mortal men in whom there is no help. Take their breath, they
return to clay
and their plans that day come to nothing. They are happy who are
helped by Jacob's God,
whose hope is in the Lord our God, who alone made heaven
and earth,
the seas and all they contain. It is he who gives
bread to the hungry,
the Lord, who sets prisoners free. It is the Lord who
gives sight to the blind,
who raises up those who are bowed down. It is the Lord who
protects the stranger
and upholds the widow and orphan. It is the Lord who
loves the just
but thwarts the path of the wicked. The Lord will reign for
ever,
Zion's God, from age to age.
Lord, please increase my trust
and faith in you
Listen
Acts 1.6-11: On the day he was taken up to heaven, Jesus
said to his apostles "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit
comes on you. Then you will be my witnesses in every part of the
world". As he said this, he was lifted up while they
watched.
A cloud took him from their sight. Then two angels appeared to them and said
"Jesus who has been taken up from you, will come back some day in the
same way as you have seen him leave"
Jesus, help me be your witness by the way I
think and speak and live
Listen
Luke
8.4-15:
One day Jesus told the people this story: A farmer was planting seeds in his field.
Some seeds fell on the path. Birds ate them.
Some seeds fell on rocky ground.
They became sickly plants, without roots, and died. Some seeds fell among
thorns.
When they became plants, they were choked by the thorns. Some seeds fell on
good soil
and produced a rich harvest. People who hear God's word without good will
are like the seeds on the path.
They are easy prey for Satan. People who hear God's word only superficially
are like the seeds on rocky ground.
As soon as difficulties come, such people easily give up. People who hear God's word with one ear
but with the other are listening to the call of greed and pleasure
are like the seeds among thorns. Greed kills the word. People who hear God's
word with good will and
put it into practice
are like the good seeds which produced a rich harvest
Jesus, please help me be
good seed!
Listen
Reflection: Surely the problem in today's Gospel was not the seed but the ground! We should pray to be good soil!

Deuteronomy
8: Moses continued his
speech to the people:
"Remember how the Lord your God
led you for 40 years in the wilderness,
to humble you, to test you, to know your inmost heart
- whether you would keep his commandments or not.
He humbled you, he fed you with manna,
to make you understand that we do not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Learn from this that the Lord your God was training you
as a man trains his child.
Keep the commandments of the Lord your God.
Follow his ways and reverence him.
When you become prosperous in the land that God is giving you,
do not become proud and say your own efforts have brought you success.
Take care and do not forget the Lord your God."
Dear
Lord, don't let me ever forget all you have done for me
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
145: I will give you glory, O God my king.
I will bless your name day after day. The Lord is great, worthy of all praise.
His greatness cannot be measured. Age to age shall proclaim your works, shall speak of your splendour and glory. The Lord is kind and full of
compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in love. How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures. All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord,
and tell all the world of your love. The Lord is faithful in all his words
and loving in all his deeds. The Lord supports all who fall
and raises all who are bowed down. The eyes of all creatures look to you and you give them their food
each day. The Lord is close to all who call him,
who call on him from their hearts. Let the whole world bless the Lord's holy
name,
for ever, for ages unending.
Thank you, Lord, for your love.
Thank you for your love
Listen
Acts 1.1-5: Dear Friend of God, in my first book (the
Gospel of Luke) I wrote
about everything Jesus did until the day he was taken up to heaven. For 40 days after his death, he appeared to
his apostles many times, and taught them about the kingdom of God.
He told them to stay in Jerusalem and wait for what the Father had
promised: "You will soon be baptized with the Holy Spirit".
Jesus, please baptize me with the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, increase your influence in my life

Luke
8.1-3: Jesus went to many towns and villages,

The 12 apostles went with him, as did a group of women who had been healed
of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna and
several others.
These women used their own money to support Jesus and the apostles
Jesus, thank you for all the women who support
the spread of the Good News in today's world

Isaiah 41-42: The Lord says to his
people Israel: "I have chosen you. I have not rejected you. Do not be
afraid, for I am with you. Stop being anxious and worried. I am your God. I give
you strength and help. Here is my servant whom I uphold, my
chosen one in whom my soul delights. I have endowed him with my spirit
that he may bring true justice to the nations. He does not cry out or shout
aloud. He does not extinguish the wavering flame. I have called him to serve the
cause of right, to open the eyes of the blind, to free captives from
prison".
Lord, please help me understand how "my servant" is Jesus
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
104: Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord God, how great you are. You make the clouds your chariot. You walk on the
wings of the wind. You make springs gush forth in the valleys. They give drink
to all the animals of the field. You make grass grow for the cattle and plants
to provide food for people. You give us wine to cheer our hearts and oil to
make our faces shine. You made the moon to mark the months. The sun knows the
time for its setting. How many are your works, O Lord. In wisdom you have made
them all. The earth is full of your riches and the sea is swarming with life.
All things, great and small, look to you for food. You open your hand, they have
their fill. You
send forth your spirit, and life is created. You renew the face of the
earth. I will sing to the Lord all my life. May my thoughts be pleasing to him.
Bless the Lord, my soul!

Luke
3.15-22: John the Baptist
said to the people "I baptize you with water, but someone more powerful
than I will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. I am not fit to undo the strap of
the powerful one's sandals". Jesus
then came and was baptized by John. While Jesus was praying after his
baptism, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit came down on him in the shape of a
dove. And a voice came from heaven "You are my Son, the Beloved. My favor
rests on you".
Jesus, Beloved Son, please baptize me with your Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, please
increase your influence in my life
Listen
Reflection on the above readings: On this day in previous years, Pope Francis has reminded us to remember and celebrate our own day of baptism, just as we remember and celebrate our day of birth (... my baptism: November 3).TThis is the only time in the Bible where the Three Persons of the Trinity can be said to have been "physically" present: The Father's voice was heard, the Son was baptised, the Spirit came down as a dove. My reflection for today led to the composition of this little song
