Deuteronomy 22-25: Moses' teaching: "You shall not commit adultery or fornication. You must avoid all forms of prostitution. You may demand interest on a loan to a foreigner, but do not practise usury among yourselves. Be honest in all your dealings".
Dear Lord, please give me a clean heart

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 71: In you, O Lord, I take refuge. Please hear me and help me. Be a rock where I can take refuge. Rescue me from people who want to hurt me. It is you, O Lord, who are my hope. In you I have trusted since I was young. From my mother's womb you have been my help. My hope has always been in you. Now that I am old, please do not forget me. Now that my strength fails, do not abandon me. Now that I am old and grey-headed, may I continue to trust in you and proclaim your help. To you I will sing with the harp. All day long my tongue will tell of your goodness to me. Lord, may all elderly people put their trust and hope in you
Listen

 

Romans 12.9-13: Do not let your love be superficial, but sincerely prefer good to evil. Have a family love for each other, and a profound respect for each other.

Make hospitality your special care
Jesus, please help me grow in love. Help me love you and other people a bit better

Listen


John 6.59-69: After hearing what Jesus said about his flesh and blood, many of his disciples said "How can anyone believe in such crazy ideas?"  Many disciples then stopped following Jesus. Jesus said to the 12 apostles "What about you? Are you also going to leave me?" Peter replied "Lord, who shall we go to? You have the message of eternal life. We believe you are the Holy One of God"
Jesus, please don't ever let me stop following you

Deuteronomy 19-21: Moses' teaching: "A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot. 
When you go to war, the following men are excused from fighting: a man who has not yet dedicated his newly-built house; a man who has planted a vineyard and not yet enjoyed its fruit; a man who is engaged to be married; a man who is fearful and faint of heart
.

Dear Lord, help me to understand how Jesus taught us to love our enemies and not to take revenge

My recording of this reading

 

Psalms 69-70: Save me, O God, for the waters have risen to my neck. I am sinking fast and can't keep afloat much longer. So many people hate me without cause. I have no more strength to resist them. May my situation not cause anyone to lose faith in you. May people realize that it is for your sake that I am taunted. Taunts have broken my heart. No one shows me any compassion. For food they give me poison. In my thirst they give me vinegar to drink. Lord, do not hide your face from your servant. Answer quickly for I am in distress. You are my rescuer, my help, O God. O Lord, do not delay to help me. 
O God come to our assistance. Lord make haste to help us

Listen

 

Romans 12.1-2: I beg you, trust in God's mercy, and worship him in a spiritual way, not just in an external way. Offer your whole life to him as a holy sacrifice. Do not blindly follow the fashions of the world. Instead, let your behavior change, fashioned by your enlightened mind. This is the way to discover the will of God, the way to know what God wants us to do
Jesus, help me give more time to things that are important, less time to things not so important

Listen


 

John 6.52-58: The people said among themselves  "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Jesus replied "If you refuse to eat my flesh, and drink my blood, you will not have life in you. Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life. For my flesh is real food, and my blood is real drink. Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me, and I live in them. As I, who am sent by the living Father, myself draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will draw life from me. This is the bread come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever"
Jesus, thank you for the gift of your Body and Blood in Holy Communion

Isaiah 2: In the days to come, the mountain of the Lord's Temple will be specially blessed. All the nations will come to it and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, that he may teach us his ways so that we may walk in his paths". When they learn the ways of the Lord, then the nations will hammer their swords into ploughshares, their spears into sickles. Nation will not lift sword against nation, there will be no more training for war. O House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!

Psalm 98: Sing a new song to the Lord for he has worked wonders. His right hand has brought salvation. The Lord has made known his salvation. He has shown his justice to the nations. He has remembered his truth and love for the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout to the Lord all the earth, ring out your joy. Sing psalms to the Lord with the harp, with the sound of music. Let the sea, the world and all peoples acclaim the King, the Lord. Let the rivers clap their hands and the hills ring out their joy at the presence of the Lord, for he comes to rule the earth. He will rule the world with justice and the peoples with fairness.

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.

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".

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.

Romans 10.1-4: I have a really great love for the Jews. I pray to God for them to be saved. They have a strong belief in God, but their zeal is misguided. They can't see that friendship with God is a gift from God, not just a matter of external practices

After briefly attending two cases at the High Court in Admiralty yesterday morning, I had morning tea with a barrister who told me about a "Devil's Breath" case (see below). Then I walked to Central for a McDonald's chat with a journalist who hopefully will post a report on the HK mentally disturbed man due to be executed in China soon. Then I spent time at Catholic Centre Chapel praying for many people. Then back to McDs for chat with another journalist who is investigating drug trafficking in HK. Then back to High Court for final hour of case of young Malaysian man whose drug trafficking trial continues. 

 

Only yesterday did I learn about this science-fiction type drug now afflicting HK: "Devil's Breath" victims count losses *** "Devil's Breath" world's scariest drug?

Deuteronomy 11: Moses continued his speech to the people: "You must love the Lord your God. Remember this day, how it was you who heard these words, not your children. It is your eyes that have seen the great works God has done. Keep the Lord's commandments, so that you may have strength to conquer the land God is giving you. That land is a land of hills and valleys watered by rain from heaven.

If you love the Lord your God with all your heart the Lord will give your land its rain in due season, autumn and spring, so that you may harvest your corn, your wine and your oil. But if you forget the Lord your God and worship other gods, then the heavens will be closed and produce no rain.

See, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: a blessing if you obey the commandments of the Lord our God; 
a curse if you disobey the commandments of the Lord our God
."

Dear Lord, please help us to obey you and never forget you, and please give rain to places that urgently need it

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 51: Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness, and cleanse me of my sin. My offences truly I know them. What is evil in your sight I have done. But in my defence please don't forget that sinfulness is part of the human condition, part of our DNA. A pure heart create for me, O God. Put a steadfast spirit within me. Give me again the joy of your help. With a spirit of fervor sustain me.
Lord,  you will not spurn a humbled, contrite heart

Listen

 

Romans 8.35-39: Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus, even if we are in big trouble of any kind. By the power of Jesus who loves us, we can get through any trouble. 
Jesus, when I am in trouble, help me remember your love

John 6.16-21: That evening, the disciples got into a boat to cross the sea to Capernaum. The wind became strong and the sea became rough. They had rowed about 4km when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, coming towards them. They were frightened, but he said "It is I. Do not be afraid". He got into the boat, and it quickly arrived at Capernaum
Jesus, help me remember that you are in my boat
