I spent yesterday afternoon at Lai Chi Kok men's prison where I was sad to meet a new drug mule from Malaysia, but happy to meet an old friend back for a medical check up - a Tanzanian man who was at LCK in the days when there were 30 (!) Tanzanians there who had been arrested at HK airport ... while today there is not one....thanks to the anti-drug campaign and outstanding work by the authorities in Tanzania. I hope the Malaysian authorities will follow the example of their counterparts in Tanzania!

Esther 6-8: On the night between the two banquets, the king could not sleep. To induce sleep he started reading the history of his kingdom. He read how some years ago two of his eunuchs planned to assassinate him, but the plot was foiled by Mordecai. The king asked Haman how to honor a man whom the king wished to honor. Haman thought the king was talking about himself, Haman, so he suggested royal clothes, a royal horse and a royal parade. The king agreed and told Haman to honor Mordecai in this way. This was a great humiliation for Haman. And it got even worse for Haman. At the second banquet, Esther told the king that she was Jewish and that Haman planned to kill all Jews. The result: Haman was hanged on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the Jews were not only spared annihilation - they were given places of honor in the kingdom. The Jews praised God for all his help through Mordecai.
Dear God, please stop people like Haman from committing injustice

Psalm 126: When the Lord delivered Zion from bondage, it seemed like a dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, on our lips there were songs. What marvels the Lord worked for us. Indeed we were glad. Those who are sowing in tears will sing when they reap. They go out, full of tears, carrying seed for the sowing. They come back, full of song, carrying their sheaves.
Dear God, please bless all people who are sorrowful as they work

Listen

 

Acts 1.15-26: (for Feast of St Matthias): 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 10.29-37: The religious leader then asked another question: "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied "A man on a journey was attacked by robbers. They beat him, took all he had, and left him seriously injured. A priest came by and saw the man, but did not help him. A temple worker also saw him, but did not help.  But a lowly foreigner who saw him was moved with pity. The foreigner bandaged his wounds, and used his own donkey to take the man to an inn. He paid the innkeeper to look after the man. Which of the three was a neighbor to the injured man?" The leader replied "The one who helped him". Jesus then said "Go, and do the same"
Jesus, please don't let me ignore people who need help
 

Listen

Reflection on the above readings: When Matthias was not chosen in the original 12, he didn't go away in a sulk. When most of Jesus' disciples left him because they could not accept the Bread of Life teaching, Matthias did not go away. He continued to follow Jesus

------------------------------

 For Feast of St Matthias: he was finally recruited to be an apostle just in time to join the 11 others for a stint in prison with a flogging!

Esther 5: After Esther prayed to God for a long time, she went to the palace and presented herself to the king. At first the king was angry that Esther came without being invited, but then his heart softened and he welcomed her. When King Ahasuerus saw that Esther was distressed, he asked her what was wrong. He promised to do anything for her. Esther asked that there be two special banquets for herself, the king and Haman.  The king agreed and the banquets were arranged. Haman meanwhile was making his own arrangements: a high gallows on which to hang Mordecai.
Dear God, please move the hearts of rulers to be kind to their people

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 125: Those who put their trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, that cannot be shaken. Jerusalem, the mountains surround her, so the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever. 
Lord, please help us be more aware of your protecting presence

Listen

 

Acts 5.34-42: One religious leader at the meeting, Gamaliel, asked that the apostles be removed from the room. Then he spoke to the other leaders: "Men of Israel, be careful how you deal with these people. If this movement of theirs is of human origin, it will die out of its own accord. But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy it. You might even find yourselves fighting against God". His advice was accepted. The apostles were warned, flogged and released. They left the meeting glad to have had the honor of suffering humiliation for the sake of Jesus. They resumed their daily preaching, in the Temple and in private homes
Jesus, thank you for times of suffering for you
 

Listen


Luke 10.25-28: To test Jesus, a religious leader asked him in public "Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus replied "What does the Law say?" He replied "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and you must care for others as much as you care about yourself". "You are correct", said Jesus, "do this and life is yours". 
Jesus,  help me to love you with all my heart....and to care for others as much as I care about myself

Listen

Reflection on the above readings: Physically we obey the Law of Gravity. Spiritually, in our DNA, there is a gravitational force urging us to obey the Law of Love. According to the great French scientist, Pierre de Chardin, we are being drawn to a Divine Magnet, Jesus, who is Love.

 Last Sat evening when I accompanied an elderly European on bail for a meal at Notre Dame in Kowloon City, we stopped at a grocery store near Notre Dame to buy some items. The man carried some, I carried some. But then the (genuinely absented-minded) man proceeded to leave the store before I could pay! I had to call him back ... or he might be facing another charge! So might I!

  HK legislature is beginning to look like that of Taiwan where fights sometimes happen:
More chaos as rival groups clash (check the video!)

 

So many places in the world - including HK - are experiencing a leadership crisis ... people have lost confidence in leaders ... because so many leaders are more concerned with power/wealth/fame than about their people. Today's readings for Good Shepherd Sunday remind us that real leadership - in government/church/organisation/family - is all about concern for the sheep. Real concern is like that of a mother for her baby: total focus on the good of the baby.

c.f. readings for Easter 4

Acts 13.13-52: Paul and Barnabas went to another Antioch, Antioch in Pisidia. Out of jealousy, the local Jewish leaders there stopped Paul from preaching to the Jewish community. Paul and Barnabas then turned their attention to non-Jewish people, and so the word of the Lord spread through the whole countryside. But the Jewish leaders kept up their campaign, and had Paul and Barnabas expelled from Pisidia. 
Jesus, please don't let Gospel workers be expelled

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 100: Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing for joy. Know that he, the Lord, is God. He made us, we belong to him. We are his people, the sheep of his flock. Go within his gates, giving thanks. Enter his temple with songs of praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name. Indeed, how good is the Lord, eternal his merciful love. He is faithful from age to age. 
Dear Lord, please help us to serve you with gladness

Listen

 

Revelation 7.9-17: I saw a huge number, impossible to count, of people from every nation, race, and language. They were standing in front of the throne, with palms in their hands. They shouted: "Victory to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb". One of the elders told me who these people are: "These are the people who have been through the great persecution.
They now serve God day and night in his sanctuary. The Lamb is their Shepherd. He leads them to springs of living water. God has wiped away all tears from their eyes".

Jesus, please help sorrowing people who are crying today

Listen


 

John 10.11-14: Jesus said to the religious leaders "I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep. A hired man, since he has no real concern for the sheep, abandons them and runs away if he sees a wolf coming. I am the Good Shepherd. I know my own sheep, and my own sheep know me"
Jesus, Good Shepherd, please help me to be a good sheep, and a good shepherd

Listen

 

Reflection on the above readings: May all leaders in today's world - in the Church as well as in civil society - try to be more like the Good Shepherd who has "real concern for the sheep".

Only the second time in HK I've met someone with the same name!

Esther 4: When Mordecai heard about Haman's plan, Mordecai asked Esther to appeal to Ahasuerus for help. Mordecai and Esther both knew that to approach the king without an invitation was a crime punishable by death, unless the king saw fit to welcome an uninvited person. So they prayed to God to move the heart of Ahasuerus to welcome Esther.
Dear God, please move the hearts of rulers to care for their people

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 124: "If the Lord had not been on our side", this is Israel's song. If the Lord had not been on our side when people rose against us, then would they have swallowed us alive when they were angry with us. Blessed be the Lord who did not let us become a prey for their teeth. Our life, like a bird, has escaped from the snare of the hunter. Indeed the snare has been broken
and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. 

Thank you, Lord, for all the times you have rescued me from trouble

Acts 1.15-26: (For Feast of St Matthias): 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 10.17-24: The 72 came back rejoicing. "Lord", they said, "even the devils submit to us when we use your name". Jesus replied "Yes, I have given you  power to tread underfoot the whole strength of the enemy. Yet do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you. Rejoice rather that your names are written in heaven. Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it"
Jesus, thank you for the gift of faith

Reflection on the above readings: Matteo Ricci went home to Heaven on the Feast of Saint Matthias! Just a co-incidence? ... or a special blessing sign from God?

Esther 3: About this time Haman from the land of Agag was promoted by King Ahasuerus to a top position. All other officials were to bow and prostrate themselves before Haman. Mordecai refused to bow to Haman. This made Haman very angry. Haman found out that Mordecai was a Jew. Haman decided to kill Mordecai and all Jews in the kingdom. Ahasuerus agreed to Haman's plan and a decree to this effect was announced: all Jews were to be killed on the 14th day of the 12th month.
Dear God, please protect poor people from people like Haman

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 123: To you have I lifted up my eyes, you who dwell in the heavens. My eyes, like the eyes of slaves on the hand of their lords. Like the eyes of a servant on the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the Lord our God till he show us mercy. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy. We are filled with contempt. Indeed all too full is our soul with the scorn of the rich, with the proud man's disdain. 
Lord, please protect poor people from being exploited by rich people

Listen

 

Acts 5.12-16: All the believers used to meet regularly in an area of the Temple. Their numbers kept on increasing. So many miracles kept happening that sick people were laid on beds on the street,  in the hope that at least Peter's shadow would cover them as he walked past. People came from the towns near Jerusalem, bringing their sick, and all of the sick were healed
Jesus, let more healings take place in our day

Listen


Luke 10.1-9: Jesus appointed 72 disciples to go ahead of him in pairs, to all the towns and places he himself was to visit. He said to them "The harvest is rich, but the laborers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send laborers to his harvest. When you go into a town, cure those in it who are sick, and say:  'The kingdom of God is very near to you'".
Jesus, please inspire more people to make the spreading of the Good News their life's work

Listen

Reflection on the above Bible readings: Some people say that miracles of healing were just to help Christianity get started ... a temporary arrangement just for a time ... but a record of healings through the centuries shows that the healing ministry is meant to have a basic place in all Christian ministry

Acts 4.32-37: The apostles continued to witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power. The whole group of believers was united, heart and soul. They willingly shared everything they had with people who were in need. Joseph was a Temple minister who had been born in Cyprus. He sold a field he owned, and gave the proceeds to the apostles. The apostles called him "Barnabas" ("Son of Encouragement")

Jesus, give me  courage to do what I should do

  Last night I had a meal with people from Malaysia who are in HK to visit a family member in detention. Was a good experience for me to share a Halal meal at the end of the day's Ramadan fast.

Psalms 120-121: I call to the Lord in the hour of my distress: "Lord save me from people who speak with lying lips". Long enough have I been dwelling with those who hate peace. I am for peace, but they are for fighting. I lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where shall come my help? My help shall come from the Lord who made heaven and earth. The Lord is our guard and our shade. Day and night we shall not be afraid. The Lord will guard our going and coming both now and forever.

Acts 4.23-31: When Peter and John were released, they went to a gathering of apostles and friends and told them everything that had happened.

Bless us to heal and work miracles through the name of your holy servant Jesus". As they prayed, the building rocked. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim the word of God boldly
Jesus, by the grace of your Holy Spirit, please help me to proclaim your message boldly

Luke 9.28-36:
One day Jesus took his disciples Peter, James and John up a high mountain to pray. On the mountain, while Jesus was praying, his whole appearance changed. His clothes became brilliant as lightning. The prophets Moses and Elijah appeared and spoke with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus "Lord, how good it is for us to be here!" Then a bright cloud covered them with its shadow. From the cloud came a voice: "This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him" When the voice had finished speaking, the disciples saw only Jesus in his normal appearance
Jesus, Beloved Son of God, how good it is to spend time with you in prayer

 Reflection on the above readings: People in so many parts of the world ... not least HK ... need to pray in the words of Acts:
