Sirach
42-43: What an amazing world
we live in!
The Creator sure did a good job programming everything! Great is the Lord who
made the sun, the moon and stars.
What a beautiful creature is the rainbow! The seasons, the rain,
the snow, lightning and thunder:
all proclaim the glory of God. How great is God who
has made such an amazing universe.
How can we praise and honor him enough?
Dear God, thank you for
creating the world.
Please help us live the way you want us to live
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
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
Listen
Acts
1.12-14:
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
Jesus, your apostles' group spent
special time in prayer preparing for the coming of the Holy Spirit. I now
ask them in heaven to pray that the Holy Spirit will increase his
influence in my life
Listen
Luke
6.6-11:
On another Sabbath Jesus visited a prayer hall.
A man with a withered hand was in the prayer hall. Some religious leaders were watching to see if
Jesus would heal the man (since no work was allowed on the Sabbath, and
they regarded healing as work). Jesus knew what they were thinking, so
he said to the man with the withered hand "Stand up! Come out into
the middle of the hall".
He came out and stood there. Jesus then asked the leaders
"Is it against the law on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil; to
save life or to destroy it?" Then he said to the man with the withered hand
"Stretch out your hand". He stretched it out. It was
healed. The leaders were very angry. They
left the prayer hall
and began plotting how to get rid of Jesus
Jesus, please stop bad religious leaders from
misleading people

Yesterday I had 8.30am Chinese Mass at St Paul's Parish, Yau Ma Tei, then 11am English Mass at the Dr Jesus Centre for domestic helpers staying at MercyHK shelters. Four children under 3 years old attended the 11am Mass and they were like angels .... three of them looking at children's books on little carpets on the floor, the other in her mother's arms. Social worker Lucia is now caring for 10 children (!) and about 20 women ... including parents of the children

Isaiah
9: The people that walked in
darkness has seen a great light. On those who live in a land of deep shadow, a
light has shone. For the yoke that was weighing on them, the rod of their
oppressor, you have broken and removed. For there is a child born for us, a son
given to us, and
dominion is laid on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonder-Counselor,
Mighty-God, Eternal-Father, Prince-of-Peace.
Jesus, Prince of Peace, thank you for the peace and hope and joy of your
friendship and love
My recording of this reading
Psalm
113: Praise, O
friends of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord. May the name of the Lord be
blessed both now and for evermore. From
the rising of the sun to its setting, praised be the name of the Lord.
Who is like the Lord our God, above the heavens his glory. From the dust he
lifts up the lowly, to put them in the company of royalty. To the childless wife
he gives a home, and gladdens her heart with children.
May the Lord be praised from sunrise to sunset
Recording
Luke
1.26-38 (a): 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?"
Recording
Luke
1.26-38 (b): 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

Last Friday 8 special people attended our weekly gathering for
homeless people. Two are still sleeping "on the street". Six used to
sleep at McDonald's on in parks etc. MercyHK is now providing accommodation for
5 of the six, and used to provide accommodation for the other one. On Friday we
played a game: In turn each person was asked to answer: "10 years ago,
where were you and what were you doing". Then we went another round
"20 years ago ..", then 30, then 40, then 50, then 60, then 70. We
learnt a lot about each other ...including the fact that one of the men used to
be a Rolls Royce driver for an employer!!!

MercyHK's new social worker for prisoners, Jane, spent virtually all of yesterday at Kowloon City Court, helping a couple who not long ago went through a terrible tragedy
Also going through tragedy is a woman from Thailand who was released in 2020 after 8 years in a HK prison for drug trafficking (having been tricked to bring drugs to HK). A few days ago the woman and her aunt, on a motorcycle driven by the woman, were injured in a traffic accident, and after two days in ICU the aunt died .... for which her family is blaming the woman. A local Thai OMI priest in Thailand is counselling the woman. JESUS, HELP!

Sirach
40-41:
Wine and music cheer the heart,
but better than wine and music is the love of wisdom. Do not speak sharply to people.
Do not ignore people who greet you. Do not gaze at another man's wife.
Do not carry on with a single girl.
Lord, please help me control my
speech and my eyes
My
recording of this reading
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.
O God, please help me to praise
and love you every day

Acts
1.6-11: On the day he was taken up to heaven, Jesus
said to his apostles "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit
comes on you. Then you will be my witnesses in every part of the
world". As he said this, he was lifted up while they
watched.
A cloud took him from their sight. Then two angels appeared to them and said
"Jesus who has been taken up from you, will come back some day in the
same way as you have seen him leave"
Jesus, help me be your witness by the way I
think and speak and live
Listen
Luke
6.1-5: One Sabbath day Jesus and his disciples were walking through a
cornfield. The disciples were hungry. They picked some ears of corn
and ate them. Picking corn on the Sabbath was regarded as unlawful by the
Pharisees.
So the Pharisees said to Jesus "Your disciples are
breaking the Sabbath law". Jesus replied "Don't you remember what King David and his
followers once did when they were hungry? They ate the Temple bread which
only the priests were allowed to eat. I am Master of the Sabbath".
Jesus, please help me understand that love is more important than law

Sirach 38-39: All healing is a gift of God.
To obtain healing: pray to the Lord, ask forgiveness for sin,
then follow the doctor's advice. Mourn for the dead and honor their
graves,
but do not let your heart be controlled by grief. Ordinary working people have little time for
study.
But the Lord blesses everyone who studies wisdom.
Lord, please heal my friend
(..name..) who is sick
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
Acts
1.1-5: Dear Friend of God, in my first book (the
Gospel of Luke) I wrote
about everything Jesus did until the day he was taken up to heaven. For 40 days after his death, he appeared to
his apostles many times, and taught them about the kingdom of God.
He told them to stay in Jerusalem and wait for what the Father had
promised: "You will soon be baptized with the Holy Spirit".
Jesus, please baptize me with the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, increase your influence in my life
Listen
Luke
5. 27-32: As Jesus walked along, he noticed a tax
collector sitting by the customs house. The collector's name was Levi
(Matthew). Jesus said to him "Follow me".
Leaving everything, he got up and went with Jesus. In Jesus' honor Levi
held a banquet in his house. Many tax collectors and social outcasts
were present. The religious leaders complained "Why do
you eat and drink with tax collectors and outcasts?" Jesus replied "It is not those who are
well who need the doctor, but the sick. I have come to call sinners, not
the virtuous, to repentance"
Jesus, thank you for befriending people who
were looked down on. Please help me do likewise

Three
activities at the Dr Jesus Centre yesterday: in the
morning Eddie (MercyHK chairman), social workers Lucia and Simon, and
accountants Edmund, Monica and Shirley and I attended a MercyHK finance meeting
at the Dr Jesus Centre. Our situation is very sound .... thanks to so many

In the afternoon with social workers Simon, Raymond and Patrick I took part in the weekly gathering for local drug addicts .... more than a dozen attended, despite heavy rain ... and we enjoyed a presentation by speakers from St Barnabas Society
In the evening I joined SR & P for our weekly gathering for about 8 Nepal drug addicts... at which we shared a McDonald's meal!
During the day Lucia welcomed more homeless domestic workers ... last night she was looking after 23 women and 8 children ... one of the women arrived Tuesday midnight ... and alslo one local man who came two days ago.
And during the day at her desk in the Dr Jesus Centre, our new
social worker for prison jobs, Jane, continued to process a backlog of mail jobs

Sirach 35-37: Be generous as the Lord has been generous to
you.
Be cheerful when you make a gift to the Lord. The humble person's prayer pierces the
clouds,
so love the Lord with a humble heart. If a property has no fence, it will be
plundered.
If a man has no wife, he is like a boat without an anchor. Be careful when you consult other people.
After all consultation, follow the advice of your own heart.
Lord, please give me a cheerful

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

Let all who want eternal life say: "Come". Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
Come Lord Jesus! Come into my heart! Come into
our world!
Listen
Luke
5.17-26: God's power was on display when Jesus healed
people.
People came from far and near to hear him teach, and to ask for healing. One day some people carried a paralyzed
man through a crowd to Jesus. The man was on a stretcher. Jesus knew that these people believed he could
help them,
so he said to the paralyzed man "My friend, your sins are
forgiven". Some religious leaders in the crowd were
thinking to themselves
that Jesus was wrong to say he could forgive sins. So Jesus said to the leaders "Which is
easier:
to say 'Your sins are forgiven', or to say 'Get up and walk'?" Then to prove that he had authority to forgive
sins, he said to the paralyzed man "Get up, pick up your bed and go
home". The man got up, picked up his stretcher and
went home.
The crowd praised God for what they had seen
Jesus, please give me more faith
in your power to forgive, your power to heal

Reflection: Today's Revelation reading is the final sentence of the Bible. We look forward to seeing and being with Jesus for ever!

Many groups of people came to the Dr Jesus Centre in Temple
Street yesterday .... all of them very special people. But the most special was
"A Wah" who came for a prayer with MercyHK social workers Simon,
Raymond and Patrick before going to a drug treatment centre. A Wah has been in
detention dozens of times for drug use ... and up till recently could be seen on
the street near Jordan MTR Exit A begging money to support his habit. For some
time he has been coming to our Wed weekly meeting for drug addicts .... and
finally agreed to go to a drug treatment centre. He is the 10th drug addict our
team has arranged to enter a treatment centre over the past few months ....for
which I say "Thank you Jesus"!
Our newly renovated/re-rented F Hostel had its first guest yesterday afternoon: a young local man whose previous place of refuge asked us to take him because he tested Covid positive. We have registered him with the govt online service and maybe he will transfer to a govt quarantine centre if a human sees the online message.

If you are chosen for an important job,
don't let it go to your head. When you speak, keep to the point.
Say much in a few words. Reflect before you act.
Look before you leap. Travel broadens the mind.
Ask God's protection when you travel.

47-48: All peoples, clap your hands, cry to God with
shouts of joy.
For the Lord, our Creator, we must love and honor,
great king over all the earth. Especially in his holy city is the Lord worthy
to be praised.
Praise is fitting in Mount Sion, our earth's most sacred site. O God, as we pray in your temple,
our hearts meditate on your love. May peoples and rulers everywhere
acknowledge and love you as Creator of the Universe
Let all the peoples praise you, Lord. Let all the peoples praise you

Here God's servants will worship him.

and his name will be written on their foreheads. It will never be night again.
They will not need lamplight or sunlight,
because the Lord God will be shining on them
Jesus, may your name be written on my forehead
Listen
Luke
5.12-16: In one town that Jesus went to, a leper fell
on his face and pleaded "Sir, if you want to, you can heal me". Jesus stretched out his hand, touched
him, and said "Of course I want to!
Be healed!" And the leprosy left him at once. Jesus' reputation continued to grow.
Large crowds gathered to hear him speak and to have their sicknesses cured.
But afterwards Jesus would always go to a quiet place where he could
be alone and pray
Jesus, please help me understand
that you want sick people to be healed
Listen
Reflection: Jesus said "Of course I want to heal you" ... speaking just like a parent to a sick child. No parent would say "this is your cross" ....nor did Jesus ever say to a sick person "your illness is your cross".
