Genesis
38: Jacob's son Judah had
three sons - Er, Onan and Shelah.
Er married Tamar,
but not long after the wedding, Er died.
So, according to custom, Judah asked Onan to marry Tamar
and have a child for his brother.
But Onan spilt his seed each time he slept with Tamar,
so Tamar did not conceive.
Judah then said to Tamar
"Wait till Shelah grows up,
and you can marry him."
But when Shelah was older,
he still hadn't been given to Tamar.
So Tamar tricked her father-in-law Judah.
She dressed as a prostitute
and conceived by Judah.
Judah did not know that the woman was Tamar;
her face was covered.
Three months later Judah was told that his daughter-in-law
was pregnant after acting as a prostitute.
Judah followed the harsh local custom and said
"Take her outside and burn her."
But Tamar produced Judah's seal, stick and cord
which he had given to her as a pledge when he had sex with her.
So Judah admitted his guilt and freed Tamar
who gave birth to twin boys.
Dear God, please
help married people to be happy
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 5:
At the
start of this day I pray to you, O Lord, my King and my God. I offer you
my prayer and ask for your help. Through the greatness of your love, I have
access to your friendship. I bow down in reverence and worship. Lead me, Lord, in the way you want me to go.
It is you, Lord, who bless good people.
You surround them with favors, as with a shield.
Lord, I adore you as my Creator

Thessalonians 5.1-11: The Lord's coming will not find us unprepared
if we live a good life. You are not children of the night and of
darkness.
You are children of the light and of the day. Put on faith and love for a
breastplate.
Put on the hope of salvation for a helmet.
Encourage one another. Strengthen one
another
Jesus, please help me be a person of
encouragement, not
discouragement
Listen
Mark
8.22-26: In the village of
Bethsaida, a blind man was
brought to Jesus.
His friends begged Jesus to touch him. Jesus took the man by the hand and led him
outside the town.
Jesus put spittle on the man's eyes
and placed his hands on the man's eyes. "Can you see anything?" asked Jesus.
The man was starting to see and replied "I can see people. They look
like trees, but they are walking about". Jesus then placed his hands on the man's eyes
again, and he saw clearly. He was healed and could see everything clearly.
Jesus, heal my friend
....(name)...who is blind
Listen
Reflection on the above readings: Why wasn't the blind man able to see immediately? Maybe to teach us that prayer sometimes (usually in our case!) needs to be made more than once!

c.f. readings for Easter 4
Acts
2.37-47: The
crowd was deeply moved by Peter's words, and asked "What should we
do?" Peter replied "You must repent and be baptized in the name
of Jesus Christ. Then you too will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit".
That day about 3,000 people were baptized. These remained faithful to the
teaching of the apostles, to a
life of sharing and caring, to the
Breaking of Bread, and to prayer.
Many miracles were worked by the apostles, and this made a deep impression on
everyone. Each day the Lord added new members to their group.
Jesus, please help me
remain faithful to the Christian way of life
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
23: The
Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green are
the pastures where he gives me repose. Near restful waters he leads me, to
revive my drooping spirit. He guides me along the right path. He is true to his
name. If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear. You are
there with your crook and your staff; with these you give me comfort. You have
prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes. My head you have anointed
with oil. My cup is overflowing. Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life. In the Lord's own house shall I dwell for ever and
ever.
Thank you, Lord, for
being my good shepherd

Peter 2.19-25: If
you are treated unfairly, put up with it for the sake of God. Christ suffered
for you and left an example for you to follow. He had done nothing wrong. He was
insulted and tortured, but did not retaliate. He bore our sins in his own body
on the Cross, so that we might die to sin and live for holiness. Through his
wounds you have been healed. You were like straying sheep, but now have come
back to the
shepherd and guardian of your souls.
Jesus, please help me put up with difficulties for your sake
Recording
John
10.1-10: Jesus
said to the religious leaders "I
am the gate of the sheepfold. If anyone enters the sheepfold by some
other means than the gate, that person is a thief. The person who enters by the
gate is the shepherd of the flock. The sheep hear his voice as he calls each one
by name and leads them out of the sheepfold. When he has brought them out, he
goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that people may
have life, not just now but for ever".
Jesus, Good Shepherd,
please help more and more people hear your voice and follow you
Recording
Reflection on the above readings:
-------------------------------
To go with today's Gospel:
A
shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW
advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Broni
suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks
the shepherd, "If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock,
will you give me one?" The shepherd looks at the man, obviously a yuppie,
then looks at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answers, "Sure, Why
not?"
The
yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his
AT&T cell phone. He surfs to a NASA page on the internet, where he calls up
a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he
then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an
ultra-high-resolution photo. The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe
Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany.
Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been
processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an
ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with hundreds of complex formulas.
He
uploads all of this data via an email on his Blackberry and, after a few
minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page
report on his hi- tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to
the shepherd and says, "You have exactly 1,586 sheep."
"That's
right. Well, I guess you can take one of my sheep," says the honest
shepherd. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused
as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car. Then the shepherd says to
the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will
you give me back my sheep?"
The
young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, Why not?"
"You're
a consultant." says the shepherd. "Wow! That's correct," says the
yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"
"No
guessing required." answered the savvy shepherd, "You showed up here
even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already
knew; to a question I never asked; and you don't know anything about my
business.......now give me back my dog."

For today's Feast of St. Mark
Mark
14.48-52: Jesus said to them
"Am I a robber that you needed to capture me with swords and clubs? Day
after day I was openly teaching in the Temple". All the apostles then
deserted him and ran away. A
young man who followed
Jesus had nothing on but a linen cloth. They caught hold of him, but he left the
cloth in their hands and ran away naked.
My
recording of this reading
Acts
15.36-40: Some time after
this, Paul said to Barnabas "Let's revisit the towns where we preached the
word of the Lord". Barnabas suggested taking John
Mark with them, but
Paul opposed this, since John Mark had deserted them on the previous trip when
the situation became dangerous. After a violent argument, Paul and Barnabas
split up. Barnabas went with John Mark to Cyprus. Silas joined Paul for his next
journey.

Reflection on the above readings: Mark in his youth was good at running ... running away from danger (Gospel and Acts, above). But his feet were eventually right in the danger zone that was Rome. We can also note that not all scholars agree that "Mark" in the above 4 readings is the same person. See Mark the Evangelist

Genesis 37: Jacob loved Joseph more
than his other sons
because Joseph was the son of his old age.
Jacob had a special coat of many colors made for Joseph.
Joseph's older brothers were jealous of Joseph and hated him.
Joseph had a dream: he became a famous person.
This made his brothers hate him all the more.
One day, when the brothers were looking after their sheep
in a distant place,
Jacob sent Joseph to see how they were.
When the brothers saw Joseph coming
some of them wanted to kill him.
Eventually they sold Joseph to some slave traders
for 20 silver pieces.
The slave traders took Joseph to Egypt and re-sold him there.
The brothers told Jacob that a wild animal had killed Joseph.
Jacob was heart broken and mourned Joseph all the time.
Dear God, please
help me not to be jealous of other people
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
4:
At the end of this day I praise you, Lord,
for all your love and help. O people of the world, how long will you close
your hearts to God?
How long you will keep on chasing false goals? Lord, you have put into my heart a joy that
cannot be obtained by big meals and plenty of wine. I will lie
down in peace and sleep comes at once,
for you, Lord, make me dwell in safety and peace
Thank you, Lord, for your love
and help right through today

Thessalonians 4.13-18: You asked us about the situation of people who
have died.
Do not mourn in an unhealthy way for them,
like people who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and
that it will be the same for everyone who dies in God's friendship: God
will give them life with Jesus. They will live in God's House for ever.
With thoughts such as these you should comfort one another in times of
mourning
Jesus, please increase my faith in the life to
come

Mark
7.31-37: Jesus traveled through the area south of the
Sea of Galilee.
A deaf man with a speech impediment was brought to him. Jesus took the man aside in private, away from
the crowd.
He put his fingers into the man's ears and put spittle on his tongue.
Then he prayed and said "Be opened".
The man's ears were opened and his speech became normal. The people said "He has done all things
well. He makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak"
.Jesus, heal (..name..)
who is "deaf and dumb"

When Esau and Jacob
met, Esau was friendly and kind to Jacob.
Esau accepted all the gifts of animals that Jacob gave him.
But Jacob continued to be wary of Esau.
Jacob moved to Shechem.
One of the men of Shechem raped
and then wanted to marry Jacob's daughter, Dinah.
Jacob and his sons craftily said they would agree to the marriage
if all of the men of Shechem were circumcised.
The men agreed. But on the third day
while the Shechem men were still in a lot of pain
Jacob's sons Simeon and Levi took matters into their own hands.
They killed all the Shechem men,
because their sister Dinah had been
raped. Jacob did not approve of the killings.

"Help her, because she keeps shouting after us." Jesus replied "I was sent only to the
people of Israel".
The foreign woman by now was kneeling at Jesus' feet.
"Lord, help me" she pleaded. Jesus said to her "Woman, you have great
faith. Your wish is granted". At that very moment, her daughter
was healed.

Genesis
32: As Jacob returned to
his own land of Canaan,
he feared that his brother Esau would try to kill him.
So Jacob, always clever and wily, sent messengers ahead of him
to make friends with Esau.
The messengers reported that Esau was on his way to meet Jacob
and had 400 men with him.
This news increased Jacob's fears
so he divided his family and flocks into two groups,
thinking that if Esau attacked one group
then the other group could escape.
Jacob also prayed hard to God for protection.
Jacob sent gifts of animals to Esau,
hoping that Esau would be friendly to him.
On the night before Jacob and Esau met,
God appeared to Jacob
and gave him a new name: Israel.
Dear God, please
help me to be kind and clever

Happy the person who reads and meditates on God's words. Such a

badly treated by your own countrymen, just as Christians in Judea have
been badly treated by the Jews. The Jews have been persecuting us and
hindering us from spreading the Good News

John
6.59-69: After hearing what Jesus said about his flesh
and blood, many of his disciples said "How can anyone believe in such
crazy ideas?" Many disciples then stopped following Jesus. Jesus said to the 12 apostles "What about
you? Are you also going to leave me?" Peter replied "Lord, who shall we go to?
You have the message of eternal life. We believe you are the Holy One of
God"
Jesus, please don't ever let me stop following
you

Reflection
on the above readings: Some modern day Christians
don't believe in the "Real Presence" of Jesus' Body and Blood. They
say Jesus was only speaking metaphorically. Well, if he was only speaking
metaphorically, how come so many of his followers left him?
