Tues June 1
A happy day yesterday ... 23 of us went on a tour
to The Peak, Stanley Market (& nearby St Anne's Church) and Repulse Bay. The
23 was made up of homeless people ... and workers at MercyHK's second hand shop
in Jordan. Weather forecast was for rain and even storms .... and there was
rain, but only while we were seated for lunch at an indoor restaurant! Even the
fog on The Peak cleared enough for us to have a great view of HK island and
Kowloon. Thank you Jesus for a lovely day! And
see 
below!

Genesis
9-11: Noah's descendants
spread to many lands.
They started speaking new languages.
They discovered how to make bricks.
In one place, Babel, they tried to build a very high tower.
But God was not pleased with them.
God scattered the people of Babel to many places.
Dear God, the human family uses
so many different languages.
Please help us to live peacefully together on this earth
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 46: God is for us a refuge and strength,
in time of distress he is a helper close at hand. Therefore we shall not fear even though the
earth should rock,
even though the mountains fall into the sea. The Lord of hosts is with us.
The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Come and consider the works of the Lord
and always remember his words: "Be still and know that I am God".
Lord, help us to be more aware
of your presence,
especially when we are in trouble
Listen
Revelation
3.1-3: He gave me this message for the church
in Sardis: "I know all about you. You are a shining
red apple on the outside,
but inside you are rotten. Wake up, revive your faith and love.
Remember the eagerness you showed
when you first heard the Good News. Listen to this message and repent"
Jesus, don't ever let me become a rotten
apple
Listen
Luke
2.1-8: The Emperor of Rome ordered that a census be
taken of the whole
Empire. Every man had to go to his home town to be registered. So Joseph set out from Nazareth in Galilee and
traveled to Judea,
to the town of David called Bethlehem, with his pregnant wife Mary. While they were in Bethlehem, the time came
for Mary to have her child. She gave birth to a son. She wrapped him in
swaddling clothes
and laid him in a feeding box for animals, because there was no room for
them at the local inn
Baby Jesus, born in Bethlehem,
please bless all babies born in the world today
Listen
Reflection on the above readings: God knew in advance what the Roman Emperor would decree ... and arranged for one of the prophets to announce that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem
------------------------------
While our group of 23 was walking yesterday from lunch
restaurant towards Stanley Market, a kind couple from Yau Ma Tei parish who
happened to be at Stanley spontaneously gave us a donation ... which was used to
buy everyone a beautiful ice cream on the beach at Repulse Bay! God bless that
kind couple!

Another busy day at the Dr Jesus Centre yesterday: four groups there for several meetings, mostly concerned with visiting/helping prisoners.

Mary to her cousin Elizabeth
Zephaniah 3.14-18: Shout
for joy, daughter of Zion, Israel, shout aloud! Rejoice, exult with all your
heart, daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has repealed your sentence; he has
driven your enemies away. The Lord, the king of Israel, is in your midst; you
have no more evil to fear. When that day comes, word will come to Jerusalem:
Zion, have no fear, do not let your hands fall limp. The
Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult
with joy over you, he will renew you by his love; he will dance with shouts of
joy for you as on a day of festival.

for the Lord and your service of the Lord. Hope will make you cheerful. Do not
give up when trials come. Keep on praying. Help people who are in need. Make
hospitality your special care.
Jesus, please help me grow in love. Help me love you and other people a bit
better

Luke
1.39-45: As soon as
she could and as quickly as she could, Mary went to Elizabeth's home in the
hills near Jerusalem. As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby in
Elizabeth's womb jumped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Elizabeth
said to Mary "Of all women, you are the most blessed, and
blessed is the baby in your womb. Why should I be honored with a visit
from the mother of my Lord? Blessed are you for believing God's
promise"
Mary, blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb,

c.f. readings for Trinity Sunday
Deuteronomy
2-4: Moses
continued his talk to the Israelites: "God has been with us these 40 years,
watching over us and providing for us. God gave us many victories and
continually told us not to be afraid of any enemies. So now, Israel, do not
forget God's goodness and help and laws. Do not forget the things your eyes have
seen. Make sure to tell these things to your children's children. God has
brought you out of Egypt to be his special people. If you seek God with all your
heart and soul you will find him. Understand
this today, therefore, and take it to heart: The Lord is God indeed, in
heaven above as on earth below, he and no other. Keep his laws and commandments
as I give them to you today, so that you and your children may prosper and live
long in the land that the Lord your God gives you forever."
Lord, please help me
to seek you with all my heart
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
33: Ring out your joy to the
Lord, all good people, for praise is fitting for loyal hearts. For the Lord
loves justice and right; 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, since we place all
our trust in you.
Lord, we trust in your precious love
Listen
Romans
8.14-21: Everyone
moved by the Spirit is a child of God. The Spirit lets us use children's
language to speak to God tenderly as "Abba, Father". Since we
are God's children, we are also his heirs, coheirs with Jesus, sharing his
suffering so as to share his glory. What we suffer in this life can never be
compared with the glorious life we will have in heaven. The whole of creation
looks forward to sharing the same glory, to sharing immortality.
Abba, Father, may everyone love and honor you. Help everyone get to heaven
Listen
Matthew
28.16-20: The 11 apostles went to Galilee,
to the mountain where Jesus had arranged to meet them. When they saw him they
fell down before him in worship. Jesus said to them "All authority in
heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of
all the nations. Baptize them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to
understand and live according to my words. And know that I am with you always,
yes, to the end of time".

live our lives according to your teaching ....and thank you, Matthew, for this

Genesis
5-6: Among Adam and Eve's
descendants were Seth, Enosh, Kenan and Enoch.
Enoch was a special friend of God.
Enoch walked with God.
Another good man who walked with God was Noah.
In Noah's time, most people had forgotten God.
Most people did bad things.
So God decided to cleanse the earth by a great flood.
To save Noah and his family from the flood,
God got Noah to build a huge boat for his family
and for two animals of every kind.
Even though most people forgot God,
Noah believed in God and trusted God.
Dear God, please
help me to remember you, to walk with you
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
42-45: Like a deer that longs for running streams,
so my soul is longing for you, my God. My soul is thirsting for you, the God of my
life.
I think of you all the time, here in my land of exile. People make fun of us here in exile.
They taunt us saying "Where is your God?" Yet no matter what happens we will hope in you,
for you are our saviour and our God. No
matter where we are or what happens to us,
our hearts will long for you, like a bride longing for her groom.
Lord, no matter what happens,
may I always hope in you

Revelation
2.18-22: He gave me this message for the church in
Thyatira: "I know how charitable you are.
I see your faith and devotion, and your courage in suffering. But some of you are being misled by a false

You are imitating her bad behavior. Listen to this message and repent"
Jesus, please don't let me imitate bad
behavior

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

Genesis 4: Two of Adam and Eve's
sons were Cain and Abel.
Cain was a farmer. Abel was a shepherd.
Cain was jealous of his brother Abel.
God said to Cain: "Get control of yourself."
But Cain let his anger take over, and he killed Abel.
God asked Cain, "Where is Abel?"
Cain answered, "How should I know? I'm not his security guard."
God replied, "I can hear your brother's blood crying out to me from
the ground. That same ground will no longer give you any crops."
Dear God, please
help me not to get angry with other people

Elizabeth gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives shared her joy.
When the child was circumcised on the 8th day, he was given the name John.
Jesus, please bless all women who are having a
baby today

Genesis 3: A creature hostile to
God took the form of a snake
and tempted the first man and first woman.
The snake tempted them to disobey God.
When God asked them why they disobeyed him,
the man blamed the woman, and the woman blamed the snake.
God said to the snake:
"You are the enemy of the human race.
Someday a member of the human race will defeat you."
God said to the man and woman:
"From dust you came and to dust you will return."
The first man's name was Adam (meaning "man").
The first woman's name was Eve (meaning "life").
Dear God, please help me understand
how evil in the world
started when Adam and Eve disobeyed you

They are too many for me to describe. My God, in the depth of my heart I delight in

You want my heart.

When I felt a bit tired after my second jab of BioNTech on Monday
morning, I was wondering if I'd be ok to visit Tai Lam women's prison the next
day. But an afternoon rest on Monday soon restored the system and I was able
yesterday to visit not only Tai Lam women's prison but also the nearby Siu Lam
psychiatric prison for men and women.... thanking God for all the sport I was
privileged to take part in when at school to build up my stamina. As usual I
came away from both prisons with many jobs to do .... and many people to pray
for.

have been greatly blessed by God. You are to conceive and have a son
whom you must name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of
God". Mary said to the angel, "How can this
happen since I am a virgin?"
The angel replied "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the
power of the Most High will specially bless you. Know this too: your
cousin Elizabeth has, in her old age, conceived a son, and is now in her
sixth month". "I am the handmaid of the Lord", said Mary, "let what

Providence was at work in my life yesterday. Just as I
reached the main entrance of Tai Lam around 2.05pm after visiting Tai Lam ...
and was preparing to wait for the 2.30 mini-bus to take me to Siu Lam, a taxi
pulled up and I was able to go immediately to Siu Lam. Then just when I left Siu
Lam around 4.30 a mini-bus pulled up to take me to Tuen Mun for the train ride
back to Jordan. Perfect timing can be spelt "Coincidence" but I prefer
to spell it as "PROVIDENCE"
