Tues June 30
Yesterday morning I had a meeting with an Indonesian women
recently jury-freed 7:0 after more than 3 years in prison. She is one of 7
Indonesian women freed over the past year or so .... all of them tricked by
Nigerian boyfriends to collect/deliver parcels of drugs. My YouTube interviews
with previous Indonesian women - here
I spent most of the rest of the day at the desk, trying to catch up on a backlog
of jobs mainly related to prison ministry. Late afternoon on the way to church I
went to Kowloon Central Post Office where I learnt that there is still no
airmail service to Australia ... only sea mail.
I read every word of this:

1
Samuel 1: Each
year, Elkanah and his two wives Hannah and Peninnah, went to Shiloh
to worship the Lord.
Peninnah
had children, but Hannah was barren.
Each year at the temple,
Peninnah would taunt Hannah because she was barren. One
year at the temple, Hannah prayed in great distress:
"God, if you give me a child, I will dedicate him to you". Not
long after, Hannah conceived a son whom she called "Samuel".
When Samuel was weaned, she took him to the temple
and gave him to the priest there to serve the Lord
for the rest of his life.
Dear God, please bless all
women who are unable to have a baby
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
127: If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do its builders labor.
If the Lord does not watch over the city,
in vain does the watchman keep vigil. Success comes not from earlier rising or from
going later to rest,
but from the Lord's blessing. Success is from the Lord
who blesses the womb of his beloved while she sleeps. Truly, children are a gift from the Lord,
a blessing, the fruit of the womb.
Lord, many people these days
don't want children. Please help such people understand that children are
a blessing
Listen
Acts
9.32-35:
Peter visited churches in many areas. When he
went to Lydda,
he saw a man named Aeneas, a paralytic who had been bed-ridden for 8 years.
Peter said to him "Aeneas, Jesus Christ
cures you.
Get up and fold up your sleeping mat". Aeneas got up immediately. The people of that
area who saw him, were converted to the Lord
Jesus, let there be more miracles of healing,
so that more people will believe in you
Listen
Luke
18.9-14:
Some people prided themselves on being
virtuous, and despised others. Jesus told them this story: Two men went to the Temple to pray, one a
religious leader, the other a social outcast. The leader stood there and said "I thank
you, God, that I am not greedy, unjust and adulterous like other people
such as this outcast here". The outcast did not even raise his eyes, but
beat his breast and said "God, be merciful to me, a sinner".
The outcast, I tell you, went home a friend of
God. The leader did not. People who exalt themselves will be humbled.
People who humble themselves will be exalted.
Jesus, be merciful to me, a sinner

Acts
12.1-17: About this time,
King Herod began persecuting the church. He beheaded the apostle James, brother
of John. He arrested Peter during Passover time. He put Peter in prison and
planned to have him put on trial and killed after Passover. Each day Peter was
in prison, the believers stormed heaven praying for him. On the night before he
was to be put on trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, fastened with
chains, with more soldiers at the prison entrance. Suddenly Peter's cell was
filled with light, and an
angel told him to get up. The
chains fell from his hands. The angel led Peter out of the prison,
without the guards knowing what was happening. Peter then left for another
place. Herod was unable to find him.
Jesus, please help Christians who are in prison for their faith
My recording of this reading
Psalm
34: I will bless the Lord at
all times, his praise always on my lips. In the Lord my soul shall make its
boast, the humble shall hear and be glad. Glorify the Lord with me, together let
us praise his name. I sought the Lord and he answered me. From all my terrors he
set me free. The
angel of the Lord is
encamped around those who revere the Lord, to rescue them. Taste and see that
the Lord is good. They are happy who seek refuge in him. The Lord is close to
the broken-hearted. Those whose spirits are crushed he will save.
Lord, by our Bible reading and prayer, may we taste and see your goodness
each day

2 Timothy 4.6-8: As for me,
my life of service to the Lord is nearly over. I have fought the good fight to
the end. I have run the
race to the finish. I have kept the faith. The Lord will soon give me the
best of all prizes: eternal life in heaven. He will give it not only to me,
but to everyone who has loved him sincerely in this life.
Jesus, help me keep running to the finish line

Matthew
16.13-20: One day Jesus asked
his disciples "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" The disciples
replied "Some people say you are one of the famous prophets". Jesus
then asked them "And what about you. Who do you say
I am?" Peter answered "You are the Christ, the Son of the living
God". Jesus
then said to Peter "Blessed are you, for my Father in heaven has revealed
this to you. So I now say to you: you are Peter ('the rock') and on this
rock I will build my church. I will give you the keys of the kingdom."
Jesus, Son of God, please help the church to continue your work on

Kings 4: A poor widow
whose husband had been a prophet asked Elisha for help when a creditor demanded
her two sons as slaves. All she had was a small pot of oil, not enough to pay
her debts. Elisha told her to get many jars, and start pouring oil from the pot
into the jars. As she and her sons did this, the
oil did not run out. Elisha told her to sell the oil to pay off her
debts. At another time Elisha brought back to life a dead child. He also
once brought about a miraculous multiplication of bread.
Dear God, you
once worked miracles by the prayers of Elisha. Please let miracles be done
in our day.

recording of this reading
Psalm
89: I will sing for ever of your love, O
Lord. Of this I am sure, that your love lasts for ever. The heavens proclaim
your wonders, O Lord. The heavens are yours, the world is yours. Blessed
the people who find joy in you, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your

Romans
6.3-11: When we were
baptized, two things happened - 1:
We went into Jesus' tomb and joined him in death. We died. - 2:
We rose from the dead with Jesus. We came back to life. This dying and rising
means we have died to sin, and risen to a new life. We died to an old life, and
we came back to a new life. We have been re-born, born again.
Jesus, please help me leave my old life behind. Help me live a new life with you

Matthew
10.17-42: Jesus said to his apostles
"Because you follow me and speak my message, therefore you will be arrested
and put in prison. But don't worry about what to say for your defense. What to
say will be given you by the Holy Spirit. Boldly proclaim my message and do not
be afraid of persecution. Take up your
cross and follow me. Anyone who does not take up his cross and follow me
is not worthy of me."
Jesus, please give me more courage

Yesterday morning I took part in the funeral mass of dear friend
Audrey
G. Donnithorne, a great lady of China. Mass was lead by Cardinal John Tong,
with the homily given by Cardinal Joseph Zen! How many people (apart from Popes)
have two cardinals at their funeral?! And Cardinal Zen, aged 88!, did something
I've never seen anyone else do: before he began his homily, he put a face mask
on the microphone at the reader's stand, then took off his own mask! ...
reversing the process after he spoke.

Ruth
3-4: Naomi told Ruth to go to the threshing
shed of Boaz
and to sleep there at the feet of Boaz,
this action symbolizing her wish to marry Boaz. When Boaz discovered Ruth there during
the night,
he praised Ruth for wanting to continue Elimelech's family. The next day, Boaz went to the gate of
Bethlehem
and met the only man who preceded him
in the legal right to marry Ruth. The man agreed to let Boaz marry Ruth
and so Boaz took Ruth as his wife. Boaz and Ruth had a son, Obed.
Obed was the father of Jesse whose son was King David.
Dear
God, please bless
all grandparents,
as you blessed David's great grandparents Ruth and Boaz
My
recording of this reading
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

Acts
9.20-31:
After a few days,
Paul began preaching in the
prayer halls that Jesus is the Son of God. People were amazed at Paul's
conversion. As time
passed, the Jews planned to kill
Paul. Paul heard of this and decided to leave the city. The Jews kept watch at
the city gates to stop him leaving. Then one night he was able to escape: some
disciples lowered him in a basket from the city wall. He went to Jerusalem and began preaching
boldly in the name of the Lord.
Soon another plot was made to kill him. Therefore the disciples sent him
to Tarsus. After this the churches throughout Judea,
Galilee and Samaria were left in peace. They steadily grew, strengthened
by the Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, please strengthen me, as you
strengthened Paul and the first believers
Listen
Luke
18.1-7: Jesus told his disciples a story about
the
need to pray continually and never lose heart:
There was a judge who had neither fear of God nor respect for people. In
the same town there was a widow who kept asking the judge for justice
against someone who had wronged her. For a long time the judge refused to help her,
but at last he said to himself "I must give this widow her rights or
she will pester me to death". Even more so God will see that justice
is done for those who cry out to him for help day and night, even if he
delays to help them
Jesus, please give me the perseverance to pray
each day
Listen
Reflection
on the above readings: Sometimes,
for reasons which children are too young to understand, parents delay a
"yes" to requests ... like my late dear mother who often replied to
requests with the phrase "we'll see"! So also, God sometimes
"delays to help us"

Ruth 2: Naomi and Ruth arrived
in Bethlehem at the time of the barley harvest. Ruth went to the fields
to look for left-over ears of corn.
She came to the attention of Boaz, Elimelech's clansman. Boaz was a kind man and
he told the men harvesting his crop
to let Ruth take some sheaves of corn, not just left-overs.
As one of Naomi's closest relatives,
Boaz was in a group of several men from which one man was
required by law to marry Ruth and produce children for Elimelech.

Acts
9.1-19:
Paul kept up his campaign against the Lord's
disciples.
He got the ok to arrest followers of the Way in Damascus. But on his way to Damascus, a light from
heaven surrounded him.
He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying "Paul, Paul, why are
you persecuting me?" He said "Who are you, Lord?"
The voice replied "I am Jesus, and you are persecuting
me.
Go into Damascus and you will be told what to do". Paul's eyes were open, but for more than a day
he was without his sight, and he ate and drank nothing. The Lord got
Ananias, a disciple in Damascus,
to visit Paul and pray for him. The Lord said to Ananias "Paul
is my chosen instrument to bring my name to non-Jews and Jews. He will
suffer much for me". Ananias went to
Paul and prayed for him with the laying on of hands.
Straight away, Paul could see again. Then Ananias baptized him
Jesus, please help me understand

Luke
17.11-19: On the way to Jerusalem, Jesus entered a village where 10 lepers came
to meet him.
They stood at a distance and called out "Jesus, Master, take pity on us!"
Jesus said to them "Go and show yourselves to the priests".
As they went away, their leprosy disappeared.
Seeing that he was healed, one of them turned back praising God at the
top of his voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him.
This made Jesus say "Were not all 10 healed? Where are the 9
others?"
Jesus, please don't let me forget to say "thank you" when someone helps me
Listen
Reflection on the above Bible readings: Yes, love makes the world go round, but one most important expression of love is ... "thank you". When people fail to say "thank you" love can stop going round ... can die

Ruth 1: In the days of the
judges, there was famine in the land.
Because of the famine, a man from Bethlehem named Elimelech moved to Moab.
Elimelech took with him
his wife Naomi and his two sons.
Elimelech died.
The two sons married Moabite women: Orpah and Ruth.
But then the two sons also died. Naomi was
heart-broken. She had lost her husband and two sons. She decided to return
to Bethlehem
and told her daughters-in-law to go back to their own homes. Orpah went back to her
people.
But Ruth with great loyalty and love chose to go with Naomi. Ruth said:
"Wherever you go, I will go. Wherever you live, I will live.
Your people shall be my people.
Your God shall be my God.
Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried."
Dear God, in time of trouble, please help people to be loyal and kind to each other

Psalm 124:
"If the Lord had not been on our

this is Israel's song. If the Lord had not been on our side

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.

Luke 16.19-26: Jesus told this story to the people: There was a rich man who used to
dress in expensive clothes and feast magnificently every day.
At his gate there was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,
who longed to eat scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs
even came and licked his sores.
The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham.
The rich man also died and was buried. In his torment in Hell, the
rich man looked up and saw Abraham a long way off with Lazarus at his
side.
So the rich man cried out "Father Abraham, pity me and send Lazarus to
dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in
agony in these flames".
"My son", replied Abraham, "remember that during your life, good
things came your way, just as bad things came the way of Lazarus. Now
he is being comforted here, while you are in agony"

c.f. Readings for Birthday of John the Baptist
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'. The Lord also says to his people: "Does a woman forget
her baby, or a mother the child within her womb? Yet even if these forget, I
will never forget you".
Lord, please help me understand how you loved me even before I was born.
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
139: O Lord, you search me and
you know me. You know my resting and my rising. You know exactly what's going on
in my life, all my ways are an open book to you. Before ever a word is on my
tongue, you know, O Lord, what I'm going to say. Your knowledge is beyond my
understanding, too high, beyond my reach. It
was you who created my being, knit me together in my mother's womb. I
thank you for the wonder of my life, for the wonders of all your creation.
Lord, thank you for the gift of life. Please help me follow the path to
eternal life
Listen
Luke
1.67-80: When John was named, his father
Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and said "Blessed be the Lord,
the God of Israel. He has visited his people. And you, little child, you shall
be called a prophet of the Most High. You
will go before the Lord to prepare a way for him". When John grew
older, he lived in the wilderness until the time came for him to begin his
ministry.
Jesus, please help me prepare your way by helping people to know you
Listen
Reflection on the above readings: Why June 24 for John the Baptist? Because Jesus was conceived in the 6th month of Elizabeth's pregnancy .... so John was born 6 months (approximately) before Jesus ... and 6 months before Dec 25 is June 24. Every Christian is meant to be like John the Baptist - preparing a way for Jesus in whatever way we can.
