Tues April 7
Yesterday I was at Lai Chi Kok men's prison for 7 hours ... yet
again saddened to meet further new drug mules arrested at HK airport since the
start of the year. And one elderly 2019 drug mule from Europe - aged 85! -
agreed that because of the virus it is safer to be in detention at the moment
since detention conditions in HK are among the best in the world ... including
24/7 care from medically trained staff.
3
of the 4 Kenyan women in this terrible story have been to my home and have been
visiting African prisoners. If any kind reader is in a position to offer one or
more of these women a new work contract, please email me: jdwomi@gmail.com

c.f.
readings for Tues of Holy Week. Let's use these readings with Jesus ...
they apply to him
Isaiah 46-49: The Lord
called me before I was born. From my mother's womb he knew my name. While I was
thinking that I had toiled in vain, all the while my cause was with the Lord.
The Lord who formed me in the womb and assigned me to rescue his people, that
same Lord said to me: "I
will make you the light of the nations, so that my salvation will reach
to the ends of the earth"
Jesus, please help me understand how
these words refer to you
Psalm
71: In you, O Lord, I take refuge. Please
hear me and help me. Be
a rock where I can take refuge. Rescue
me from people
who want to hurt me. It
is you, O Lord, who are my hope. In you I have trusted since I was young. From
my mother's womb you have been my help. My hope has always been in you. Now that
I am old, please do not forget me. Now that my strength fails, do not abandon
me. To you I will sing with the harp. All day long my tongue will tell of your
goodness to me. Jesus,
please help me understand how these words refer to you
Recording
Mark
14.66-72: Peter went to the place where the
religious leaders had Jesus on trial.
A young woman in the courtyard of the place said to him
"You were with Jesus, the man from Nazareth". Peter replied "I don't know
what you're talking about". Peter went to the gateway of the
place, where the woman saw him again and said to people around her
"This man is one of them".
Peter denied it. Not long after this a group of
people said to Peter
"You are his friend. We can tell by your Galilean accent".
Then Peter even more strongly replied "I do not know the man". At that very moment, a rooster
crowed.
Peter remembered Jesus' words "Before the rooster crows, you will
deny me three times". Peter then wept loudly.
Jesus, please help me not to
deny you. Give me courage to say "I am a Christian"
Listen
Luke
22.63-65: The men
who were guarding Jesus mocked
him and beat him. They blindfolded him. "Since you are a
prophet", they said, "tell us who hit you just then". And they
continued heaping insults on him.
Jesus, please stop me from making offensive fun of other people
Recording
Luke 22.66 - 23.12: At
daybreak there was a meeting of the religious leaders. Jesus was brought before
them. They asked him "Are you the Son of God?". He replied
"Yes". They said "We have heard his blasphemy from his own
lips". They took him to the Roman governor, Pilate, and made many false
accusations against him. Pilate said "I find no case against him".
Jesus was then taken to King Herod who
made fun of him and sent him back to Pilate.
Jesus, on trial before the leaders, before Herod and before Pilate, please help
all prisoners who are on trial today
Recording
Reflection on the above readings: When someone makes fun of us, we react, internally if not externally. Being made fun of is not a pleasant experience. And most of us have to admit to having made fun of others. But human hurt feelings pale into insignificance when compared with what Jesus must have felt. The Creator of the Universe being ridiculed by creatures. A loving and kind parent being ridiculed by a son or daughter .... only a faint image of what happened 2,000 years ago this week.

Monday of Holy Week.
Isaiah 42: 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.
Jesus, Servant of the Father, you are the Saviour of the world.
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
27: The Lord is my
light and my help, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life,
before whom shall I shrink? Though an army encamp against me, even then would I
trust. There is one thing I ask of the Lord, for this I long: to live in the
house of the Lord all the days of my life. It is your face, O Lord, that I seek.
Hide not your face. I
am sure I will see your goodness in the land of the living. Hope in the
Lord, hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord!
Jesus, may we pray this psalm in time of trial, just as you did
Recording
Mark
14.53-65: The men who arrested Jesus took
him to a meeting of the religious leaders. The leaders wanted to condemn
Jesus to death,
even if they had to use false evidence. Jesus remained silent before
their accusations.
Then the main leader challenged Jesus:
"Are you the Saviour, the Son of God?" Jesus replied "I am".
The leader then called out
"We have heard him claim to be of
Divine origin. This is blasphemy". The rest of the leaders shouted
"He should die".
Then they spat in Jesus' face and hit him with their fists
Jesus, thank you for submitting
yourself to insult and spittle
for the salvation of the world
Listen
John
12.1-8: Six
days before the Passover, Jesus went to
Bethany, for a dinner at the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha. Mary
put expensive ointment on Jesus' feet. Then she wiped his feet with her hair.
Judas Iscariot, the disciple who was going to betray Jesus, said "Why
wasn't this ointment sold and the money given to the poor?" He
said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief.
He was in charge of the moneybag and would steal from it. Jesus replied
"Leave her alone. She is anticipating and honoring my burial. Besides, the
poor will always be with you. But I will soon be gone".
Jesus, may we "anoint your feet" by serving the poor
Recording
Reflection on the above readings: We can wash Jesus' feet ... by serving him in the poor ... by real service of the real poor, not insincere lip-service like that of Judas.

c.f. readings for Palm Sunday
Isaiah
50: The Lord
has opened my ear to hear his message. The Lord has given me words to proclaim
his message. For my part, I made no resistance, neither did I turn away. I
offered my back to those who struck me, my cheeks to those who tore at my beard. I
did not protect my face from insult and spittle. I set my face like
flint. The Lord will help me.
Jesus, please help me understand how these words refer to you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 22: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? I call to you for help, but day and night you give no reply. I am a worm and not a man. Everyone who sees me makes fun of me. They taunt me: "He trusted in the Lord, why doesn't the Lord help him?" Like water I am poured out, my bones no longer connected. My throat is parched, my tongue sticks to my jaws. Many evil people attack me. They make holes in my hands and my feet. They await my death. They divide my clothing among them, they throw a dice for my robe.
Yet
I know Lord, that you are good and holy. I know how you heard the cries of
our ancestors and you helped them. It was you who took me from the womb and
entrusted me to my mother's breast. To you I was committed from my birth, from
my mother's womb you have been my God. Lord, I trust in you even now. I trust
you will not scorn my prayer. Even now I praise you as my Creator. May all the
nations know and worship you.
Lord, please help people who are in big trouble right now, especially people
whose lives are in danger
Philippians 2.6-11: O Lord, unite us in your love and keep our minds in you. O Lord, unite us in your love and keep our minds in you. Though you were God in state divine you did not cling to what you were. No, you shed your glory's shine so as to live just like a slave. O Lord, unite us in your love and keep our minds in you. You came on earth in human form and you shared our troubled life. A humbler man there never was, even in death obedient. Yes, Lord, death upon a cross, yes, upon a cross.
Therefore are you raised on high and you have the name of names. At that name should bend the knee and tongue confess: Jesus Christ is LORD. And tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD. And tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD. To the glory of God the Father
Luke
19.28-40: When
Jesus came near to Jerusalem, he sent two disciples to a nearby village to get a
donkey colt which no one had ever ridden. Jesus sat on the colt and began the
descent from the Mount of Olives down the hill to Jerusalem. The
disciples spread their clothes on the road, and joyfully praised God for all the
miracles they had seen. They cried out "Blessings
on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!" Some
religious leaders told Jesus to stop the disciples from calling out. Jesus
replied "If these keep silence, the stones will cry out"
Jesus, you who came in the name of the Lord, we praise and love you

Numbers
16: Another rebellion
broke out when Korah
and his group of 250 men rebelled against Moses and Aaron.
This group said "You take too much on yourselves.
The whole community is consecrated.
How can you say you are more important than the community?"
The next morning this group and other rebels
were punished by God:
the ground where the Korah group were standing split open
and they
disappeared into the hole.
The other rebels died when a fire came down from heaven
and consumed them
Dear
God, please help people not to rebel against you

recording of this reading
Psalm
33: Ring out your joy to the Lord, all good

he fills the earth with his love. By his word the heavens were made,
he spoke and the universe came into being. They are happy, whose God is the
Lord,
he is the source of all true joy. May your love be upon us, O Lord,

14.43-52: While Jesus was still speaking, Judas arrived.
Judas had with him a large crowd of men with swords and clubs,

"The one I kiss is the man. Take him".
So Judas went to Jesus and said "Teacher" and kissed
him.
The men then seized Jesus.
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

14.26-42: After the meal, Jesus said to his apostles
"Tonight all of you will desert me".
Peter said "I will never desert you".
Jesus replied "Tonight before the rooster crows,
you will deny me three times". They came to a place with olive
trees called Gethsemane.
Jesus asked Peter, James and John to pray with him. Jesus was overcome with sadness
and fear.
He said to them "Sadness is filling my heart, as if my heart is
dying.
Please support me as I pray". Then he fell on his face and
prayed for about an hour:
"Father, don't let this suffering continue. But your will be
done". He stood up and found that the
apostles were asleep.
He said to them "Couldn't you stay awake one hour to support
me?" Three times he prayed the same way.
Three times the apostles went to sleep. Then he said "Get ready.
The one who is betraying me is coming"
Jesus, please help me give more
time to prayer

Numbers 12:
Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron,

So God called Moses, Aaron and Miriam

You were wrong to speak against my servant Moses".

Miriam had become a leper.

blessed it and gave it to his apostles saying " This is my body".
Then he took a cup of wine,
blessed it and gave it to them saying
"This is my blood".

Some of the
Israelites started complaining
about not having meat to eat, only manna.
So God arranged for quails to land near the camp
and be easily caught for food.
About this time Moses selected seventy men
to help him care for the people.
God blessed the seventy men and they began to prophesy.
Moses said "I wish the whole people of God could be prophets, and
God
would give his Spirit to them all".

14.1-11:
Two days before the Passover festival,
the religious leaders kept looking for a way to arrest Jesus and have him
put to death. During these days Jesus had a
meal at the home of Simon the leper.
At the meal, a woman put expensive burial oil on Jesus' head.
The woman understood that Jesus was soon to die. One of Jesus' 12 apostles,
Judas Iscariot, went to the religious leaders and offered to help them arrest
Jesus at a convenient time.
The leaders promised to give Judas money.
Judas looked for an opportunity to arrange the arrest
