Happy
Winter Festival! (my
2017 article)
4 days to Christmas. Come and save us, Emmanuel!
Yesterday morning I had my booster vaccine (BioNTech No. 3) ... but I must admit
I
put my trust more in the Cross than in a vaccine
197: Last night at the Dr Jesus Centre there was a Christmas gathering for the team of kind people who work at MercyHK's second hand shop in Temple Street, together with Lucia (manager) and residents of MercyHK's two centres on Cheung Chau Island....especially Rocky who is due to return to China tomorrow. God bless them all!

Song
of Songs 1-2: The
bride says:
Kiss me. Your love is better than wine. How right it is to love you, you whom my
heart loves. The
bridegroom says: How
beautiful you are, my love, how beautiful you are. The
bride: He
has taken me to his banquet hall and his banner over me is love. The
groom: Come
then, my love, my lovely one, come. Show me your face and let me hear your
voice, for your voice is sweet and your face is beautiful. The
bride: My
beloved is mine and I am his.
Dear God, please give me a lover's love for you
Listen
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
Recording
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 The Lord has repealed your sentence; he has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.
My
recording of this reading And
the Father Will Dance - Song
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,
Jesus

Christmas smile
Little
boy in "Outback" Australia had never seen rain.
There had been a drought for more than 5 years.
Then just before Christmas the clouds began to form.
On Christmas Eve water fell from the sky.
The little boy ran to the window to see what was happening.
He called out to his mother "Mum, what's that?"
His mother replied "That's rain, dear" (.. reindeer ..)

Isaiah
7: A foreign king and his army attacked
Jerusalem. The king of Judah and his people were full
of fear. God told Isaiah to say to the king of Judah: "Keep calm, have no
fear. You will not be defeated. The Lord himself gives you a sign of his
protection: a
maiden is with child and will give birth to a son whom she will call God-with-us."
Lord, please help me understand how you are God-with-me every day

Psalms
24-26: The Lord's is the
earth and all its peoples. It is the Lord who is Creator of the universe. May
all hearts open their doors to the Lord. Let
him enter, the king of glory. Lord I hope in you all the day long.

Luke
1.26-38: 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.
God the Son, thank you for becoming a baby in Mary's womb
Recording
Reflection (Dec
19, 2018): Christmas
means helping the needy, just as Jesus came
down to help us in our neediness; trusting in God, as Mary did,
even if we don't understand his plans; rising up, as Joseph did,
to accomplish God's will, even if it means changing our own plans. It will
really be Christmas if, like Joseph,
we make room for silence; if, like Mary,
we say "Here I am" to God; if, like Jesus,
we are close to those who are alone; if, like the
shepherds,
we go out of our enclosures to be with Jesus.

Psalms
79-80: O God, the nations have
invaded your sacred land, they have profaned your holy temple. They have made
Jerusalem a heap of ruins. We have become the taunt of our neighbours, the
mockery and scorn of those who surround us. How long, O Lord, will all this
last? How long will this sorrow keep going? Do not hold the guilt of our
ancestors against us. If their guilt is somehow influencing our situation now
please give peace and healing to everyone and everything in our history.
Let the groans of the prisoners come before you. Let your strong arm reprieve
those condemned to die. O
Lord, our God, help us and save us. Let your face shine on us and we
shall be saved.
Lord, please heal any problems in my family tree

Jeremiah 23: See,
the days are coming, it is the Lord who speaks, when I will raise a
virtuous Branch for David, who will reign as true king and be wise,
practising honesty and integrity in the land. In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel dwell in confidence. And this is the name he will be called:
The-Lord-our-integrity.
Jesus, Branch of David, may the coming Christmas
celebration of your birth give more integrity to our world
Recording
of this reading
Psalm
72: O God, give your judgement to the king, to a
king's son your justice, that he may judge your people in justice, and your
poor in right judgement. For he
shall save the poor when they cry, and the needy who are helpless. He
will have pity on the weak, and save the lives of the poor. Blessed be the
Lord, God of Israel, who alone works wonders. Ever blessed his glorious name.
Let his glory fill the earth. Amen! Amen!
Jesus, save the lives of the poor!
Recording
Matthew
1.18-24 (a): This
is how Jesus Christ came to be born. His mother Mary was betrothed to
Joseph; but before they came to live together she was found to be with child
through the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a man of honour and wanting
to spare her publicity, decided to divorce her informally. He had made up his
mind to do this when the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
"Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because she has conceived what is in her by the Holy Spirit. She will give birth
to a son and you must name him Jesus,
because he is the one who is to save his
people from their sins."
Recording
Matthew 1.18-24 (b): Now
all this took place to fulfil the words spoken by the Lord through the
prophet: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son,
and they will call him Emmanuel,
a name which means "God-is-with-us." When
Joseph woke up he did what the angel of the Lord had told him to do: he took
his wife to his home.
Jesus, Saviour, Emmanuel, we praise you Lord
Recording
Reflection on the above readings: The Gospel says how Jesus will be Emmanuel, "God with us". From "God be with you" came "Godbwye" which became "Godbye" which became "Goodbye". Each time we say "bye bye" or "bye" or "goodbye" to someone, let's remember the meaning "God be with you".

1 Samuel 6:
The Sacred Chest of the Lord was in Philistine
territory for 7 months. Then the Philistines put the Chest on a cart
pulled by 2 milch cows.
The cows went straight to the Israelite town of Beth-shemesh,
without anyone leading them. The people of Beth-shemesh were overjoyed to
see the Sacred Chest.
Dear Lord, thank you
for the joy in our hearts
which comes from friendship with you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
119: They are happy who follow God's word,
those who seek God with all their hearts. How can young people avoid evil?
By seeking you and obeying you, Lord. Open my eyes, Lord, that I may understand the beauty of your word.
Lord, when I'm worried or in trouble,
your word revives me and gives me strength. Lord, keep my eyes from what is false.
Bend my heart to your word and not to love of gain. The word from your mouth means more to me
than silver and gold. The unfolding of your word gives light
and teaches simple people.
Lord, thank you for your word
which gives peace to our hearts

Galatians

Listen
Matthew
1.18-25: This is how Jesus came to be born.
His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph. But before they lived
together,
Mary became pregnant by the power of the Holy
Spirit. An angel appeared
to Joseph in a dream
and said "Joseph,
descendant of David,
do not be afraid to live with Mary as your wife".
Her baby has been conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
She will give birth to a son. You must name him 'Jesus'
('God saves')
because he will save his people from their sins." Joseph took Mary
to his home as his wife.
She gave birth to a son, Jesus.
Dear
Jesus, Son of God, son of Mary, step-son of Joseph,
please help me understand how you are the Saviour of the world
Listen
Reflection: Why didn't Mary tell Joseph? Why did she leave it to an angel to tell Joseph? Because ... how could she expect even a really good man like Joseph to believe such unbelievable news?!

1 Samuel 5: The Philistines took the captured Sacred Chest
to the shrine of Dagon in one of their towns. Next morning, they found the statue of Dagon
on its face on the ground, in front of the Sacred Chest. They picked Dagon up and put him back in his
place.
But next morning he was down again,
with his head and hands cut off from the rest of his body. While the Sacred Chest was in the Philistine
town,
the people there were struck with tumors and many people died. The people told their leaders to take the
Sacred Chest
back to Israel where it belonged.
Dear God, please help everyone
know
that there is no other God but you.
My

Psalm
118: Give thanks to the Lord for he is
good.
His love has no end. Let the sons of Israel say:
"His love has no end." Let those who honor the Lord say:
"His love has no end." It is better to take refuge in the Lord than
to trust in humans.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. I was falling, falling, falling,
but the Lord was my helper. The Lord is my strength and my song.
He is my saviour. The Lord's right hand has triumphed.
His right hand has raised me up. I shall not die, I shall live
and recount all his deeds. The stone which the builders rejected
has become the corner stone. This is the work of the Lord,
a marvel in our eyes. This day was made by the Lord.
We rejoice and are glad.
Lord, we give thanks to you,
for you are good.
Your love has no end

God sent his
Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, to redeem the subjects of

sisters of his Son. The proof that we are children is that God has
sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts: the Spirit that cries
"Abba, Father"

adopted,
how you are my Brother

John
1.1-14: From all eternity the Word existed.

We saw his glory, full of grace and truth. Many people did not recognize and did not accept the
Word.
But to everyone who did accept him,
he gave power to become children of God
