Today is Ching Ming - Risen Jesus, please give eternal life to all the dead, especially Covid-19 victims!
Yesterday in order to have a bit of prayer time before Easter
.... and to have a break after many weeks of busy work helping homeless Covid
domestic helpers, I went hiking to Big Wave Bay ... in perfect weather. Even had
a swim. (See 
below!). I followed much the same way as this
O.M.I. hike in Nov. 2020
The funeral Mass for our dear friend Camay Lam will be at 10am on Friday April
29 at St Joseph's Church, Central. Main celebrant will be Bishop Joseph Ha O.F.M.,
a good friend of Camay.
Last night
MercyHK was providing accommodation for 20 Covid domestic helpers, of whom 3 were positive
cases. ***

Numbers
21: In order to avoid the
land of Edom,
the Israelites headed towards the coastline.
But the people again criticized God and Moses.
So God sent snakes among the people
and many people died.
The people then said to Moses "We have sinned; please pray for us to save us".
Moses prayed for them, and God heard his prayer.
God told Moses to make a bronze snake and put it on a pole.
Anyone bitten by a snake could then look at the bronze snake
and live
Jesus'
words (John 3.13):
"The Son of Man must be lifted up
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him".
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
102: O Lord, listen to my
prayer in my distress.
Do not hide your face from me. For my days are
vanishing like smoke,
my bones burn away like a fire. I forget to eat my
bread.
My skin clings to my bones. All day long my foes
revile me.
Those who hate me use my name as a curse. But you, O Lord, will
endure for ever.
You will arise and have mercy on Sion. You will hear the
groans of the prisoners
and free those condemned to die. I pray to you: "Do
not take me away before my time has come,
you whose days last from age to age.
Lord, please help people who
are in great distress
Listen
John 8: Jesus said:
When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He and that I do nothing of myself: what the Father has taught me is what I preach; he who sent me is with me, and has not left me to myself, for I always do what pleases him. As he was saying this, many came to believe in him.
Reflection!:
Wear
mask & Cross!

Yesterday while swimming at Big Wave Bay, I felt something
on my left ear. At first I wondered was it a fish? A crab? Seaweed? Then I saw
it: my mask! It had been hanging underneath my chin and I'd forgotten to take it
off!!! It had detached itself from my right ear but was still hanging from my
left ear!!!

New
report by SCMP on situation of Covid homeless domestic helpers - with
photo of a group sleeping in the Dr Jesus Centre
Shanghai
asks all residents to self-test for Covid .... this is
going the wrong way .... might have worked for Delta but not for Omicron.
Omicron can't be contained. Only way to go is full-vaccination and then get on
with life. China's
Covid policy won't work against Omicron. With wrong policy and with vaccines
which are not very effective against Omicron, China is heading for a very
difficult time. And if HK is required to follow the same path .... ???
Dear
Holy Spirit, please bless the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia!

Daniel
13: A beautiful woman named Susanna
was condemned to death on a false charge of immorality. God stirred Daniel's heart to help Susanna.
Daniel confronted Susanna's two accusers, two elderly Jewish men. Daniel had the two men separated.
He then asked them individually where the alleged crime took place. One of them said "under a mastic
tree."
The other said "under an oak tree." The people then realized the men were lying.
The people praised God for giving such wisdom to Daniel. Susanna was freed.
The two men were executed, as required by the Law.
Lord, please help people who
have been falsely accused of crimes
My

Psalm
23: The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I
shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit. He guides me along the right path. He is true
to his name.
If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook and your staff; with these you give me
comfort. You have prepared a banquet for me in the
sight of my foes.
My head you have anointed with oil. My cup is overflowing. Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life.
In the Lord's own house shall I dwell for ever
and ever.
Thank you, Lord, for being my
good shepherd
Listen
John
8.12-32: Jesus said to the people "I am the light
of the world. Those who follow me will not walk in the dark. They will
have the light of life. If you take my words to heart, you will be my
disciples.
You will learn the truth, and the truth will set you free"
Jesus, give light to my life. Increase my love for your teaching. Help me learn more about truth

afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name, you are mine. If
you travel over the seas, I will be with you. If you travel on great
rivers, I will protect you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel,

Psalm
126: When the Lord delivered Zion
from bondage, it seemed like a dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter,
on our lips there were songs. What marvels the Lord worked for us. Indeed we
were glad. Those
who are sowing in tears will sing when they reap. They go out, full of
tears, carrying seed for the sowing. They come back, full of song, carrying
their sheaves.
Dear God, please bless all people who are sorrowful as they work

Philippians
3.7-11: Because
of Christ, I have come to consider all my former advantages as a scholar as
disadvantages. Nothing is more important than knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For
him I have accepted the loss of everything, and I look on everything as so much
rubbish if only I can have Christ. All I want is to know Christ and the power of
his resurrection. I want to share his sufferings by carrying the Cross with him.
This is the way I can hope to receive eternal life.
Christ Jesus my Lord, knowing you is No. 1

John
8.1-11: While Jesus was
teaching in the Temple, the religious leaders brought to him a women who had
been caught committing adultery. The leaders said to Jesus "According to
the Law of Moses, this woman should be stoned to death. What do you say?"
They said this to test him, looking for something to use against him. Jesus bent
down and started writing on the ground with his finger. Since they kept up their
questioning, he looked up and said to them "If
there is one of you who has not sinned, let him be the first to cast a stone".
Then he kept writing on the ground. The leaders went away, beginning with the
eldest, until Jesus was left alone with the woman. Jesus said to her
"Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? "No one, sir",
she replied. "Neither do I condemn you", said Jesus. "Go and
don't sin any more"
Jesus, what did you write on the ground? The leaders' sins? "If you, O
Lord, should write a record of our sins, who could claim innocence?" (Psalm
130)

Judith
5:
When Holofernes heard that the Israelites
were resisting him
he was very angry. He asked Achior, leader of the neighboring
Ammonites, for information about the Israelites.
Achior told Holofernes of the Israelites' history: how God had freed
them from Egypt, how they had conquered the land of Canaan, and how God
protected them. Holofernes ignored Achior's advice
and decided to attack the Israelites.
Dear God, please protect our
country from war and strife

Matthew
27.57-66: Joseph from Arimathaea was a rich man who had
become a disciple of Jesus. After Jesus died on Friday, he asked Governor Pilate for
Jesus' body. Joseph wrapped the body in a clean
burial cloth and put it in his own new tomb in a rock cave. He then put a
large stone at the cave's entrance. The next day, Saturday, the religious
leaders went to Pilate and said
"This imposter said he would rise from the dead after 3
days.
Therefore you should secure the tomb in case his disciples steal the body
and say he has risen from the dead".
Pilate gave them a guard and told them to secure the tomb.
The guards took up their position at the tomb
and seals were put on the entrance stone.
Jesus in the tomb, please give
eternal life to all who have died

Judith 2-4:
Nebuchadnezzar summoned his top general Holofernes
and gave him a huge army to punish the nations
that had not joined him for the war against Arphaxad. Nation after nation, people after people, fell to the sword of
Holofernes.
Some places made peace with Holofernes
by giving him all their possessions and then becoming slaves of
Nebuchadnezzar, worshipping Nebuchadnezzar as a god.
As the army of Holofernes approached Israel,
the Israelites fasted and prayed to God for help.
They also blocked the mountain passes to delay Holofernes' advance.
Dear God, please help nations which have been invaded by other nations

you who alone are God. Show me, Lord, your way, and guide my heart

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" A little while later he again
cried out in a loud voice.
Then he died. At that moment the holy curtain
in the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and there was a violent
earthquake. The Roman soldiers were
terrified.
Their leader called out "Truly this was a son of God".
Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for the
salvation of the world

Judith 1:
When Nebuchadnezzar was king of the
Assyrians,
he fought a war with King Arphaxad and his supporting nations. Nebuchadnezzar sent a message to the nations
near Assyria
to help him fight Arphaxad. But the peoples of those places ignored
Nebuchadnezzar.
They thought victory was beyond him. But Nebuchadnezzar was in fact victorious
and after his victory he set out to punish the nations which
had refused his call for help.

Mercy and faithfulness have met.
Justice and peace have embraced. Faithfulness shall spring from the earth

crucifixion,
a man name Simon, from Cyrene, was made to carry Jesus' cross. Jesus was then nailed to the
cross and hung on the cross.
Two robbers were crucified with him,
one on his right and one on his left.
Above Jesus' head was a sign with the charge against him:
"This is Jesus, the King of the Jews". People passing by that place made
fun of Jesus.
So did the religious leaders. They mocked and taunted him.
Jesus on the Cross,
thank you for suffering so much for the salvation of the world

Tobit 14:
Tobit was 62 when he went blind.
He died when he was 112. After he was cured of blindness,
he continued his custom of helping the poor. Before he died he said to Tobias:
"Take your family and move to Media,
since Nineveh will soon see war and strife.
Serve God sincerely, always be willing to help poor people." After Tobit and Anna died, Tobias
moved to Media
and lived with Raguel his father in law.

My heart is longing to spend time in your holy dwelling. Even sparrows and swallows are your
temple guests.
They build homes for their young near your altar. Blessed are the people who live and work in
your temple.
And blessed, too, are people who keep the memory of your temple in
their hearts. As they go through the troubles of life,
you give them strength to face the trials of each day. Lord, one day within your temple
is better than a thousand anywhere else.

Timothy 6.3-10: Some people, because of ignorance and pride,
have a craze for questioning and arguing about everything. Such a craze breeds jealousy and mistrust and
unending disputes. People who have a craving to be wealthy are a
prey to temptation.
They get trapped into all sorts of foolish and dangerous schemes which
ruin their lives. The love of money is the root of all evils. It
can cause people to leave the faith
Jesus, help me be content with a simple
lifestyle

Matthew
27.27-31: After the Roman soldiers scourged Jesus, they
made fun of him: they put a red cloak on him, they made a crown out of
thorns, they put a reed in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him
saying "Hail, king of the Jews".
They spat on him.
They took the reed and hit him with it.
When they had finished making fun of him,
they dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucify him.
Jesus, please don't let me hurt other people by
making fun of them
Listen
Reflection: The Gospels give only a brief mention to the scourging of Jesus - some people say this is a sign of their genuineness, since bogus reports would spend much time on the scourging details - but we know that the aim of scourging was to half kill people, so they would not last long when crucified. The movie The Silent Witness claims that Jesus received far and above the legal amount of scourging .... which explains Pilate's surprise that he died so quickly on the cross.
