My
recording of this reading
Psalm
40: I waited, I waited for the Lord and he
stooped down to me.
He heard my cry. He saved me from distress.
He put fresh hope into my heart. How many, O Lord my God, are the times you
have helped me.
They are too many for me to describe. My God, in the depth of my heart I delight in
your law.
You do not want external offerings.
You want my heart.
Lord, I offer you my heart, my
love. You deserve all my love

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

John
4.34-36:
Jesus said to his disciples "My food is

Jesus, please encourage more people to be
Gospel workers, harvesting souls for eternal life

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
Psalms
38-39: O Lord, please forgive my sins and heal me.
Heal my body which is sick because of my sins. Protect me, Lord, from those who gloat over me
now that I am brought low and unable to help myself. Lord, you have shown me how short a time I
have on earth.
Lord, give me wisdom of heart to live my life better.
Lord, help us better understand the
meaning of life

Romans
5.12-21: Through one man, Adam, the virus of sin
entered the world,
and sin infected everyone with death. Through one man, Jesus, the divine anti-virus
of grace entered the world, and brought the gift of eternal life to
everyone who allows it to be installed in their heart. The divine anti-virus of grace is more
powerful than any sin virus
Jesus, please download and install in my heart

grace

John
4.1-14: Jesus visited a Samaritan town. Near a well
there, Jesus said to a Samaritan woman "Give me a drink".
He also said to her "If you drink water from this well, you
will get thirsty again. But if you drink the water that I shall give, you
will never be thirsty again.
The water that I shall give will turn into a spring of eternal life inside
you"
Jesus, please give me a drink of your eternal
life water - which is your Holy Spirit

Because of typhoon "Lionrock", my morning and evening Masses at St Paul's Parish in Yau Ma Tei were cancelled yesterday. The usual Sat afternoon prayer meeting for the sick was able to be held - by zoom! Hopefully by the time you are reading this, typhoon signal No. 8 will have been replaced by No. 3 and even maybe by No. 1.
Today
is the 19th World Day Against the Death Penalty. A
good day to pray for Wu Chi Man:
Wu Chi Man, a 50 year old HK man with a history of mental
illness, is due to be executed in Shenzhen at the end of this month on a charge
of drug trafficking. His aged parents have been told they can say goodbye to him on Oct 28 .... so they are
now in Shenzhen for quarantine
before a farewell visit to their son. Parents had asked HK government for help
and govt sent info to China, but no success. Media is last resort. Parents have
agreed to media publicity in a final effort to get HK
govt to try effectively to stop the execution. JESUS, PLEASE HELP WU CHI MAN!

Wisdom
6-7: Listen, rulers
of the nations, govern with justice, for you will be judged by the Lord. Rulers,
if you want to govern successfully, seek Wisdom
and she will guide your decisions. A wise ruler is a blessing for his people.
The more wise people there are, the better our world will be. When I, Solomon,
became a ruler, I prayed for Wisdom. I prayed, and the spirit of Wisdom came to
me. In Wisdom's company, all good things came to me.
Lord, please give me the gift of Wisdom
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
Listen
Hebrews
4.12-16: The
word of God is something alive and active. It
goes deep into our hearts. In Jesus we have the supreme high priest who
is now in the highest heaven. He knows how weak we are. He himself was tempted
in every way, but did not sin. Let us be confident in approaching his throne of
grace. He will give us grace when we are in need of help
Jesus, our high priest, help me when I'm weak
Listen
Mark
10.17-27: A young man
asked Jesus "Master, what do I have to do to get to Heaven?" Jesus
replied "Keep the commandments: do not kill; do not commit adultery; honor
your father and mother; care for others as much as you care about
yourself". The young man said "I have kept all these commandments.
What else do I need to do?" Jesus said "If
you want to do something really special with your life, go and sell all
your possessions, give the money to the poor, then come and follow me as one of
my disciples". When the young man heard these words he went away sad,
because he was very rich. Jesus then said to his disciples "It is hard for
a rich person to get to Heaven".
Jesus, please don't let riches endanger my eternal life

Sat Oct 9
I had
much to give thanks for last night! Despite heavy rain with typhoon
signal 3, the usual Friday 12.30 lunch at the Dr Jesus Centre for mothers who
work on Temple Street was attended by 8 people. During the meal came the news
that the Black Rain Signal had changed back to Red. Black was up for about an
hour and meant all activities in afternoon needed to be cancelled. So a number
of us asked Jesus to look after Mr Black .... and sure enough he didn't last
long ....which meant our usual afternoon gathering for homeless people could go
ahead at the Dr Jesus Centre ....with
special guest Bishop Joseph Ha
... who inspired everyone with his Bible sharing, humour and encouraging
reflections. Bishop's sharing will hopefully be available on YouTube next
week, with link put on this menu.
Not forgetting other special guests: Camay
and Yuki! Camay gave a moving testimony about her courageous fight to
recover from stage four lung cancer.

Deuteronomy
1: After wandering in the desert for 40 years,
the Israelites reached the land of Canaan.
Moses then assembled the people
and recalled all that had happened over the past 40 years:
"When God first told us to take this land,
I said to you: Do not be afraid. God goes ahead of you
and will be fighting on your side, as he did in Egypt.
I also said how God carried you, as a man carries his child,
all along the road you travelled to this place.
But you did not trust God
and God closed the door to Canaan for 40 years,
causing us to wander in the desert until now."
Dear God, please help me to
trust you a bit more
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
35-37: O Lord, please save me from people who slander
me,
you who rescue the weak from the strong, you whose love is so precious,
you in whose light we see light. We believe that if we find our delight in you,
you will grant our heart's desire. And so we commit our lives to you,
confident you will help us in time of trouble.
Lord, please deepen our trust
in you,
especially in time of trouble

Romans
5.1-5: By faith and through Jesus we can live in the
friendship of God. We look forward to heaven and an end to all
suffering. In the meantime our suffering teaches us
patience.
Patience produces perseverance. Perseverance produces hope.
This hope is not imaginary. It's real, since
the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has
been given to us
Jesus, through your Holy Spirit, please give
me more hope
Listen
John
3.25-36: Some of John the Baptist's disciples told
John that many of his disciples were leaving him and following Jesus. John replied "I am not the Christ. I am
the one who was sent to prepare his way. The bride is only for the
bridegroom. But the bridegroom's friend is happy when he hears the
bridegroom's voice. This is the happiness I now feel. He must become more and more important.
I must become less and less important. Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal
life. But anyone who refuses to believe in the Son will not have eternal
life"
Jesus, be more and more important
in my life

Numbers 34-35: God gave the land of
Canaan to the Israelites
and Moses allocated a section of the land to the eleven
tribes.
The tribe of Levi received some towns and pasture land from each of
the eleven tribes.
Cities of refuge were established, where people could find safety
if they had accidentally caused someone's death and the dead person's relatives wanted to take revenge.
In cases of homicide, more than one witness was required to convict
someone of murder.
A final law: the inheritance of each tribe was not to be transferred to
another tribe

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

John
3.13-17: Jesus said to the religious leader:
"The Son of Man must be lifted up on a cross, as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so that everyone who
believes may have eternal life in him". God loved the world so much, that he gave his
only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but may
have eternal life. For God sent his Son into the world, not to
condemn the world,
but so that through him the world might be saved
Jesus, only Son of God the Father, thank you
for coming into this world. Please help more and more people believe in
you

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
My
recording of this reading
Luke 1.46: My soul glorifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God, my Saviour. He looks on his servant in her lowliness; henceforth all ages will call me blessed. The Almighty works marvels for me. Holy his name! His mercy is from age to age, on those who fear him. He puts forth his arm in strength and scatters the proud-hearted. He casts the mighty from their thrones and raises the lowly. He fills the starving with good things, sends the rich away empty. He protects Israel, his servant, remembering his mercy, the mercy promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his sons for ever.
Acts
1.12: After Jesus went up to heaven from the Mount
of Olives, the apostles went back down to Jerusalem, a walk of about half a
kilometer. They gathered
in an upstairs room which they used as a meeting place. The 11 apostles were
Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James son of
Alphaeus, Simon and Jude. They spent a long time praying. With them were several
women, including
Mary the mother of Jesus, and also Jesus' brothers.

Luke
1.26: In the sixth
month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to the town of
Nazareth in Galilee, to a virgin named Mary who was betrothed to a man named
Joseph. The angel said to her "Mary, Rejoice! You 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 you have said, be done
for me". And the angel left her

Reflection on the above readings:
Many religions use beads to help pray. Beads help us to remember what we're doing. Beads help us to focus on praying ... even as we ride a bus or walk along the street. My own custom is to pray an Our Father and a Hail Mary at the start of each decade of the Rosary, and then for the 9 other beads to use words from the Bible readings of the day. So for today, the first decade might use a bead or two for each of these words: "the snake tempted them", "they disobeyed God", "Someday a member of the human race will defeat you", "from dust you came, to dust you will return", the first people were named "man" and "woman". Then the Glory be to the Father, then the "O my Jesus" prayer. Then to the next decade
