Happy 1st Birthday today for MercyHK's second hand shop which opened one year ago at 191 Temple Street, Jordan ... to help raise money to rent accommodation for homeless people, to provide jobs for needy people, to save the environment, and to be a social centre where people can find material and advisory help. Total sales for the year = HK$671,157 (that's an average of $1,900 per day ... for one of the worst economic years in HK's history!) God bless all the kind volunteers, item donors, workers, customers and supporters of the past year! (Today... special Birthday Sale ....30% off all items!)
Yesterday morning I was at the High Court for the drug
trafficking case of a local man ... who was lucky to have a really kind judge
and an excellent legal team (and see 
below!). My time in the afternoon was spent at home at the desk, on several jobs
for prisoners.

Genesis
18: One day at
Mamre, God
and two angels appeared to Abraham.
At first, God and the angels looked like men.
Following the ancient custom of hospitality
Abraham prepared a feast for them.
God told Abraham that the town of Sodom was going to be destroyed because of the evil done there.
Abraham pleaded with God not to destroy Sodom.
God agreed to postpone Sodom's destruction for a while.
Dear God, please
help people avoid sodomy
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
66-68: O God, be gracious and bless us
and let your face shine its light upon us. Let all the peoples praise you, O God.
Let all the peoples praise you. O sing to the Lord, make music to his
name.
Rejoice in the Lord, exult at his presence. Father of the orphan, defender of the widow,
God provides a shelter for the homeless. God gives his people strength.
May all the peoples of the
earth know you and praise you, O God
Listen
Revelation
5.11-14:
I heard the sound of an immense number of
angels gathered around God's throne. There were 10,000 times 10,000 of
them, shouting:
"The Lamb that was sacrificed is worthy to be given power,
riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and blessing". I heard all living things in creation -
angels, people, animals - crying out: "To the One sitting on the
throne and to the Lamb, be all praise, honor, glory and power for ever and
ever"
"Thou are worthy, Thou art worthy, Thou
are worthy O Lord,
to receive glory, glory and honor, glory and honor and power"
Listen
Luke
3.10-14:
People asked John the Baptist how they should
reform their lives.
He replied:
"If anyone has extra clothing, share with people who have none.
If anyone has plenty to eat, share with people who have nothing". Tax collectors asked John what they should do.
He replied "Don't cheat anyone". Soldiers asked him "What about us? What
must we do?"
He replied "No bullying. No extortion. Be content with your pay"
Jesus, what about me? What should I do?
Listen
Reflection on the above readings: What a different place our world would be if we put John the Baptist's words into practice!

At start of case at High Court yesterday morning, Judge,
with good humor, said to Defendant's barrister: "Your shirt is in some

nothing untidy about the barrister's razor-sharp mental awareness .... and at
times he had to help the judge fix his array thinking!

Genesis
17: God appeared to Abraham
and said to him
"I will make an everlasting covenant with you and your descendants.
As a sign of this covenant, all your males must be circumcised.
Baby boys must be circumcised when they are eight days old.
Also, Sarah your wife, even though she is old, will bear you a son.
You will name him Isaac."
Dear God, please bless
all the babies in the world

Psalms
61-65: O God, hear my cry,
you who are my refuge and help. In you alone is my soul
at rest. My help comes from you. Take refuge in God,
everyone in trouble.
Trust him at all times. O God, you are my God,
for you I long.
My body and soul thirst for you
like a dry, weary land without water. Your love is better
than life,
my lips will speak your praise. On my bed I remember
you.
On you I muse through the night. You are the Creator of
the world.
You care for the earth, you give it water. To you our praise is
due,
wherever we are on earth.
Lord, my
soul clings to you. Your right hand holds me fast

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
Luke
3.1-6: In the 15th year of the Roman Emperor
Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judaea, Herod was
ruler of Galilee and during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,
God's message entered the heart of John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
John went through the whole Jordan River area
proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. This had been foretold by the prophet Isaiah
when he said
"A voice cries in the wilderness:
Prepare a way for the Lord"
Jesus, help us prepare your way, like
John
Listen
Reflection on the above readings: Luke, a doctor, and a skilful writer, gives precise details and dates. His Gospel has "the ring of truth" about it.

116: I love the Lord for he
has heard the cry of my appeal. He turned his ear to me in the day when I called
him. They surrounded me, sorrow, distress and the snares of death. I was
helpless, so the Lord saved me. Calm down my soul, for the Lord has been good. I
will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living. How can I repay
the Lord for his goodness to me? The
cup of salvation I will raise

Thank you, Lord, for all your goodness to me

Hebrews
8.9 - 9.14: Jesus'
priesthood is part of the new covenant predicted in the Scriptures: "See,
the days are coming - it is the Lord who speaks - when I will establish a new
covenant with the House of Israel". Jesus has come as High Priest of all
the blessings that were predicted would be part of the new covenant. He has
offered not the blood of
animals like priests of the old covenant, but his own blood,
by which he won our redemption. His blood can
purify our inner self from dead actions, to help us in our life of dedication to
the living God
Jesus, by your precious blood,
purify my heart and protect me

Mark
14.17-25: On Passover Eve,
Jesus ate a last meal with his apostles. While they were eating, Jesus told them
he knew he would be betrayed by one of them. He told Judas he knew he was the
betrayer. Then Jesus took some bread, 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"

Genesis
16: Abraham and his wife
Sarah had been married many years
but they did not have any children.
So Sarah said to Abraham,
"Take my slave Hagar and have children by
her."
When Hagar bore a son, Sarah was jealous and treated Hagar badly.
Hagar ran away from home, but God said to her
"Go back to your mistress and submit to her; I will bless all your
descendants."
Dear God, please help childless
couples to have a baby

Psalms
52-60: Lord, I will tell everyone about how good you
are.
You are our Creator. Everyone should love you. Thank you for so often rescuing me from
trouble.
You uphold my life. Sometimes I have so many troubles and cares
that I can't get to sleep.
Sometimes I wish I was a bird and could fly away to a safe place. When I fear, I will trust in you,
in you whose word I praise. My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready.
I will sing, I will sing your praise.
Each morning I will sing of your strength,
and each morning acclaim your love.

Revelation
5.1-10: I saw a sealed scroll that no one could open.
Then I saw a Lamb, which seemed to have been sacrificed. The Lamb took the scroll, and the 24 elders
sang a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll
and break its seals
because you were sacrificed, and by your blood
you ransomed us for God
out of every race, language, people and nation"

you Lord

Luke
2.39-52: Joseph and Mary moved back to their own town
of Nazareth.
The child Jesus was filled with wisdom as he grew older. Each year Joseph and Mary would take
Jesus to Jerusalem for the celebration of the Passover. When Jesus
was 12 years old, they went to Jerusalem as usual. But when their
travelling group left Jerusalem,
Jesus stayed behind without his parents knowing it. They presumed he
was somewhere with the group. When they couldn't find him, they went back
to Jerusalem to look for him. After 2 days, they found him, in the Temple,
listening to the religion teachers and asking them questions. People who
heard him were astounded at his intelligence. His mother said to him "My child, why
have you done this to us? Your father and I have been really worried about
you". Jesus replied "Why were you looking for
me? Didn't you know that I must be concerned with my Father's
work?" But they didn't understand what he meant. He went with them to Nazareth and lived under
their authority.
His mother stored all these things in her heart

children" to be found!

"Come up here. I will show you what is to come in the future". I saw God in all his glory,
being worshipped by the angels who sang: "Holy, Holy, Holy
is the Lord God, the Almighty". And I saw 24 elders around the throne.
They were praising God saying
"You are our Lord and our God.
You are worthy of glory and honor and power
because you are the Creator of the universe"

Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee"

2.21-32: When the baby was circumcised on the 8th day,
he was given the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him 9 months
before. When Jesus was 40 days old, his parents took
him to the Temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, as the Law
required. In Jerusalem there was an old man named
Simeon. The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that before he died, he
would see the Christ of the Lord. Prompted by the Spirit, he came
to the Temple, took Jesus in his arms and praised God, saying
"Now, Master, you can let your servant go in peace, for my eyes have
seen the Savior. He is a light to enlighten the pagans, and he is the
glory of your people Israel"

Genesis 12-13: God said to a man in
the land of Haran named Abraham,
"Leave your own country and go to a new land I will give you.
I will make you into a great nation."
So Abraham and his family left the land of Haran
and moved to the land of Canaan.
God said to Abraham,
"I will make your descendants as many
as the number of dust particles on the ground .... an uncountable
number."
Even though Abraham and his wife Sarah were old and had no children,
Abraham believed God's promise to give them many descendants.
Dear God, please help me to
trust you like Abraham

Psalms 49-50: I will turn my mind to a parable,
with the harp I will solve a problem. The problem is: why do bad people prosper and
succeed? The answer: at the end of their lives bad
people will have to face death and judgement, just like everyone else. When we are rich, we often lack
wisdom.
Wealth blinds our minds and hearts. Let's not forgot God and his laws.
Let's try to be good and lead good lives

talk about the angels were amazed. As for Mary, she treasured every moment of
what had happened
and pondered the whole event in her heart. The shepherds went back to their fields
glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen

Genesis 7-9:
Noah's family and many animals went into the big
boat, the "ark".
Then for about 40 days there was heavy rain which caused a great flood.
The ark floated on the water.
The people and animals inside the ark were safe
but people and animals outside the ark died.
When the rain and flood stopped
Noah and his family and the animals went out of the ark.
God made a special agreement (covenant) with Noah
to bless Noah and his
family.
God told Noah that the rainbow would be a sign of their agreement.
Dear God, thank you
for making the rainbow so beautiful

Praise is fitting in Mount Sion, our earth's most sacred site. O God, as we pray in your temple,

bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by everyone. Today in the town of David, a savior has been
born to you. He is Christ the Lord. Look for a baby wrapped in swaddling
clothes and lying in a manger". Suddenly with the angel there were many other angels, praising God and singing "Glory to God in
heaven, and peace to people on earth"
"O come let us adore him, O come let us
adore him, O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord"
