Daniel
1: There were many
Israelite exiles in Babylon.
The king of Babylon wanted some of them to work in his palace. The king told his
officials to select 4 young men
and train them in local customs and culture. The 4 selected were
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
God blessed these 4 with great wisdom.
God also blessed Daniel with the gift of understanding dreams. When the 4 began work
for the king,
they were much wiser than all the local officials.
Lord,
please give us the gift of wisdom,
as you gave it to Daniel and his friends
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
8: How great is your name, O Lord our God,
through all the earth. When I see the heavens, the work of your
hands,
the moon and stars which you have arranged,
then I stop and think:
what are we insignificant humans that you should care about us? Yet you have put us in charge of the world.
Everything is subject to our control.
How great is your name, O Lord
our God, through all the earth
Listen
1
Peter 5.5-14:
To everyone else I say: do what the elders
tell you.
Wrap yourselves in humility to be servants of each other.
God refuses the proud and favors the humble. Bow down before the power of God, and he will
raise you up. Unload all your worries on to him, since he is
looking after you. Be calm, but careful, because your enemy the
Devil is prowling round like a roaring lion, looking for someone to eat.
Stand up to him, strong in faith. Peace to all who are in Christ
Jesus, please protect me from Satan
Listen
Mark
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
Jesus, forgive me for
the times when I have not been faithful to you and your teaching

Ezekiel
35-38: Through Ezekiel, God kept calling on the
people
to turn from their sins and remember their Creator. God said he would bring back Israel's exiles
to their homeland.
He would give them a new start in life,
like a skeleton coming back to life. God said the people would re-build the Temple
in Jerusalem,
and religious practice would once again flourish. The people would once again remember God.
The people would once again be blessed by the Lord.
Lord, please help nations which
have forgotten you
to come back to you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
7:
Lord God, I take refuge in
you.
Please rescue me from people who are trying to hurt me. Lord, please stop bad people from doing bad
things.
Please help good people to keep on doing good things.
Lord, I will sing to you and thank you for
your goodness to me.
Lord, please help me to avoid
evil and to do good
Listen
1 Peter
5.1-4: To those of you who are elders I say: I am an
elder myself,
a witness to the sufferings of Christ. Be good shepherds of the flock that God has
entrusted to you.
Watch over it, not simply as a duty, or for sordid money,
but gladly, because that's what God wants you to do. Never be a dictator over any group that is in your charge,
but be an example that the whole flock can follow. When the Chief Shepherd appears,
you will be given the crown of unfading glory
Jesus, help pastors and elders be good
shepherds
Listen
John
1.35-51 (for
Feast of Sts Philip &
James, apostles): John
the Baptist told his disciples Andrew and John that Jesus was the Chosen One of
God. Andrew and John then followed Jesus. Andrew took his brother Simon to
Jesus. Jesus changed Simon's name to Peter, and Peter followed Jesus. Jesus met Philip and
said to him "Follow me". Philip called one more man, Nathanael
(Bartholomew) and said to him "we have found the one Moses and the prophets
wrote about. He is Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth".
Jesus, please help me introduce more people
to know and love you

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
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
Listen

John 3.16-21: This has taught
us love: that Jesus gave up his life for us. We too should give up our lives for
others. If you see someone in need and refuse to help him, how can the love of
God be in you? Our love must be put into
practice, not be just words. Anyone who loves God must also love other
people
Jesus, help me put my love into practice by
helping people in need
Listen
John
15.1-8: At the meal, Jesus said to his
disciples "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Each branch
in me that bears no fruit, he cuts off. Each branch that does bear fruit, he
prunes to make it bear even more fruit. As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself,
but must remain part of the vine, so you can't bear fruit unless you
remain in me. Cut off from me, you can do nothing. If you remain in me, and my
words are alive in your heart, you can ask for any good thing and you will get
it. It
is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit"
Jesus, please help me stay close to you. Help me
bear much fruit

Genesis
1-2: God made the
world. God made the sun, the moon and the stars....the whole
universe. God said "Let there be light" and there was light. God
made the earth with all its plants and trees and animals and fish and birds. God
made the first people.....the first man and first woman. God made them in
his own image and said to them "Be fruitful, multiply and fill the
earth." God saw all that
he had made, and all of it was good, very good.
Dear God, thank you for making such a beautiful
world!
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
90: O Lord you have been our
refuge from one generation to the next. Before the earth or the world
existed, you are God, without beginning or end. For you, a thousand years are
like yesterday, come and gone so quickly. We humans have a short life, our
life is over like a sigh. Our span is 70 years, or 80 for those who are strong.
Make us know the shortness of our life, that we may gain wisdom of heart. In the
morning, fill us with your love. Give success to the
work of our hands.
Lord, help us realize the shortness of our life,
that we may live our lives more wisely
Recording
Colossians
3.18 - 4.1: Wives
and husbands, understand and support each other. Children, be obedient to your
parents. Parents, treat your children fairly or else they will rebel. Slaves, be
obedient and respectful to your owners. Offer up your
work to the Lord, our
Heavenly Owner. Owners, be just and fair to your slaves. Remember your Heavenly
Owner.
Jesus, help families to live together in
harmony
Recording
Matthew
13.53-58: One day Jesus went to Nazareth,
his home town. In the prayer hall there he taught the local people. But the
local people would not accept him. They said "Where did he get such
wisdom and miraculous power? He is just a
carpenter's son. His mother is that woman called Mary. His brothers are
James, Joseph, Simon and Jude. His sisters are here, too. He's nobody
special." Jesus said to them "A prophet is despised only in his own
country and his own house". And he did not work many miracles there because
of their lack of faith.
Jesus, please give me more faith in you .... and
don't let me reject people
Recording
Reflection
on the above readings: On this
International Workers/Labor Day, may the example of the carpenter whom Jesus
called "father" help us to offer up our work as a prayer to the Lord
... like a woman who used to pray "Jesus, I don't really like washing and
ironing, but I offer it up as a prayer asking that you would keep my family
safe". Let us also pray for the tens of millions
of
workers who have lost their jobs because of Covid-19

Ezekiel 33-34: God told Ezekiel to say this to Israel's leaders:
"Punishment is coming for you shepherds who have fed yourselves
but not looked after the sheep. You have failed to make the weak sheep strong,
or to care for the sick ones. You have failed to bring back stray sheep
or look for lost sheep. On the contrary, you have been cruel to the sheep
and treated them badly. Therefore I will look after my flock myself.
I will rescue them from where they have been scattered. I will look for the lost one, bring back the stray,
bandage the injured, and make the weak strong. I will also judge the sheep themselves.
I will judge the fat sheep which have bullied the weak sheep. I will raise up a special shepherd
and put him in charge of all my sheep."
Lord, please help all leaders care for their
people,
like Jesus the Good Shepherd

6: Have mercy on me, Lord, I have no

If you have a share in the sufferings of
Christ, be glad, because this means you will have an extra share of

It means you have the Spirit of God resting on you. People who experience suffering for God's
sake, must trust themselves to the grace of the Creator, and keep on doing
good
Jesus, give strength to persecuted
Christians

Mark
13.1-37: Jesus spoke to his disciples about the future:
"On account of my name you will be hated, tortured and killed.
But the Good News of the kingdom will spread to every nation
before the end of the world. At the end of the world, the sun
and moon will stop shining.
Stars will fall from the sky. Then the sign of the Son of Man
will appear in the sky
and all peoples will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds
with power and glory.
He will send his angels with a loud trumpet
to gather good people from all parts of the earth. Therefore you should
live a good life
and you will have nothing to fear on your last day"
Jesus, please help me live and
grow and die in your love ...and not be afraid of death

Wed April 28
After the monthly O.M.I. overnight retreat at Sheung Shui ended
at midday yesterday, I went to nearby Lo Wu women's prison for a few hours ....
where one young women asked me "My situation is terrible. Where is
God?" To which I replied that Jesus said "When you visit a prisoner,
you visit Me" .... which means that in visiting her I was visiting Jesus
... which means Jesus was pretty close! That particular woman's charge is a
mistake (to put it politely), she has not committed a crime, but as I quoted
Jesus' words to her, I reflected that Jesus did not say "When you visit an
innocent prisoner ... or small offender" but "prisoner" which
includes all prisoners, which includes big offenders .... which is a staggering
thought. Jesus identifies with people on the wrong side of the law, as he did
2,000 years ago when he hung around with prostitutes and outcasts.

Ezekiel 12-18:
Ezekiel
spoke God's message for the false
prophets:
"You have misled my people.
You have not bothered to protect my people".
Ezekiel
also called on the people to stop
their idolatry.
He reminded them how to follow the Lord: a good person is law-abiding and
honest; a good person oppresses no one, never steals;
a good person gives food and clothing to the poor.
"God takes no delight in the death
of a sinner.
God hopes the sinner will renounce wickedness and live."

more good

for all your love and help. O people of the world, how long will you close

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

banish malice from his tongue; they
must avoid evil, do good and seek peace

Mark 12.38-40:
Jesus told the people to beware

leaders who like to walk about in long robes, who like to be greeted obsequiously in the market places,
who like to take the places of honor at prayer halls and banquets, who steal the property of widows, while making a show of
lengthy prayers

leaders to be good people

Reflection on the above readings: First reading describes a good person. Gospel describes a bad leader
---------------------------
A few days ago a welfare officer from Lo Wu women's prison
gave me a request from an inmate soon to be discharged and return to her own
country: she needed some clothes and shoes. So, before going to the prison
after midday Monday, with the help of staff, I obtained some shoes and
clothes from MercyHK's second hand shop in Temple Street ... and carried the
said items in a special bag since my travel bag was full (computer, books for
prisoners etc). I was grateful that no one asked me why I was carrying a bag of
women's clothes!
