Tues Oct 4
Yesterday MercyHK social worker Lucia received 7 (seven!) new
domestic worker cases terminated by employers and homeless in the past 24 hours.
Today we are expecting another group ....maybe something to do with loosening of
quarantine restrictions ... so that employers can more easily find replacements?
I spent yesterday at Tai Lam women's prison. Sad to meet so many
new cases involving drug trafficking ....local people as well as people from
other countries. Hope to go again today because I ran out of time yesterday to
get to all parts of the prison .... my first visit there this year (mainly
because of Covid restrictions)
Today a public holiday in HK for the
Chung Yeung Festival to remember the dead

c.f. Feast of St Francis of Assisi
Galatians 6: The only thing I can boast about is the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. It does not matter if a person is circumcised or not; what matters is for each person to become an altogether new creature. Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, who form the Israel of God. I want no more trouble from anybody after this; the marks on my body are those of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
Francis was a stigmata
Psalm
16: Please protect me, Lord,
I take refuge in you. You
are the only source of all true happiness. I
bless you, Lord, who guide and lead me. Even at night you direct my heart. And
so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad. My body shall rest in safety now and
always. You will show me the path of life, the fullness of joy in your presence,
at your right hand, happiness for ever.
Recording
Francis is the patron saint of animals
Matthew
11.28: Jesus said to
the people: "Come to me, all you who are treated unfairly by unjust
religious laws. I will give you peace and justice. Learn from me, and
you will know peace, for I am gentle and humble of heart"
Recording
The Prayer of Saint Francis: Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

movie about Francis: Brother

Today I'm due to visit a prison .... my first full-day visit to a
prison this year! (... because of Covid restrictions). Hard to believe I used to
visit prisons 4 or 5 days a week!
Yesterday morning's Mass and lunch at the Dr Jesus Centre for
domestic workers staying at MercyHK centres was a very happy time ... a large
group, including 4 small children.... with one dear woman celebrating her 50th
birthday yesterday!
Last Saturday was a public holiday for National Day, and tomorrow
is a public holiday for the Chung Yeung Festival. Two public holidays in 4 days
... no one complaining!

Isaiah
61: The spirit of the Lord has been given to
me,
for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news
to the poor,
to bind up broken hearts, to proclaim liberty to captives,
freedom to those in prison, to comfort people who mourn,
to replace their sadness with praise. I exult for joy in the Lord,
my soul rejoices in my God, for as the earth makes plants to
grow,
and as a garden makes seeds spring up, so the Lord will make integrity
and praise
spring up in the sight of the nations.
Lord, please give comfort and courage to people
who are sad
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
103: My soul, give thanks to the Lord.
All my being, bless his holy name. My soul, give thanks to the Lord
and never forget all his blessings. It is he who forgives all your guilt,
who heals every one of your ills. It is he who fills your life with good things,
renewing your youth like an eagle's life. The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy. As the heavens are high above the earth
so strong is his love for those who love him. As far as the East is from the West,
so far does he remove our sins. As a father has compassion on his
children,
the Lord has pity on all who love and honor him. Give thanks to the Lord, all his angels,
who heed the voice of his word. Give thanks to the Lord, everyone and
everything.
My soul, give thanks to the Lord!
Thank you, Lord, for your love
and compassion
Listen
Acts
13.1-3: In the church at Antioch in Syria, the following were
prophets and teachers:
Barnabas, Simeon, Lucius, Manaen and Paul. One day while they were offering worship to
the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said "I want Barnabas and Paul
set apart for the work to which I have called them". After fasting and prayer, the
leaders prayed for Barnabas and Paul with the laying on of hands and sent them off on a
missionary journey
Holy Spirit, help me be attentive to
your guidance
Listen
Luke
11.27-32: While Jesus was speaking, a woman in the
crowd called out
"Blessed the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you".
Jesus replied "Even more blessed are
those who hear the word of God and put it into practice!" Jesus also said "On Judgement day, the
Queen of the South will rise up with the people of this generation and
condemn them, because she came from a distant country to hear the wisdom
of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here"
Jesus, greater than Solomon, please help me
put your teaching into practice
Listen
Reflection: Jesus' wisdom is greater than that of Solomon ....greater than that of any other wise person in the history of the world. Worth giving our attention to!

c.f. readings for Sunday 27
Minor
prophets: Pride of heart leads us
astray. See
how they are listless, those whose souls are not at peace. Lord, I have
heard of all your wonderful deeds in the past. Do them again in our day, Lord!
Even when everything seems hopeless, I trust in you Lord, I praise you Lord.
Seek the Lord, all you humble people. Seek integrity, seek humility. In the days
to come, people will say "We want to go with you, since we have learnt that
God is with you". Rejoice heart and soul, people of Jerusalem. See, your
king comes to you. He is humble and riding on a donkey.
Dear God, thank you for all the beautiful teachings and stories in
"The Old Testament", ("The First Testament"). I now look
forward to your message in "The New Testament" ("The Second
Testament")
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
95: Come ring out our joy to the
Lord. Hail the rock who saves us. Let us come before him giving thanks. With
songs let us praise the Lord. A mighty God is the Lord, a great king above all
gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth. The heights of the mountains are
his. To him belongs the sea, for he made it, and the dry land shaped by his
hands. Come in, let us bow and bend low. Let
us kneel before the God who made us. For he is our God and we are
the people who belong to his pasture.
Lord, you are our Creator. Our life comes from you. We praise and love
you, Lord

Timothy 1.6-8: I
remind you to fan into a flame the gift that God gave you when I prayed over you
with the laying on of hands. God's gift was not a spirit of timidity, but the
Spirit of power, and love and self-control. Never be ashamed of witnessing to
the Lord. Like me and with me, put
up with hardships for the sake of the Good News
Jesus, help me put up with hardships for the sake of the Good News

Reflection on the above readings: With the apostles let us often pray "Jesus, please increase our faith"!

Isaiah
60: Arise, shine out, for your light has come.
The glory of the Lord is rising on you,
though the rest of the world is still in darkness. The nations come to your light
and kings to your dawning brightness. People from other lands are
coming to you,
bringing gold and incense
and singing the praise of the Lord. No more will the sun give you
daylight,
nor moonlight shine on you, for the Lord himself will be your
everlasting light.
Then your days of mourning will be ended.
Lord Jesus, you are the light
of the world.
Please give more light to my life.
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

Acts
12.20-23: Wearing his robes of state and sitting on a
throne, King Herod made a speech to the leaders of Tyre and Sidon. People
acclaimed him saying "It is a god speaking, not a man!" At that moment, the angel of the Lord struck
him down, because he had not given the glory to God. He was eaten away
with worms and died
Jesus, please help us remember that all our
talents are a gift from you. "Not to us, Lord, but to your name be
the glory"
Listen
Luke
11.9-13: Jesus said to his disciples "Ask, and it will
be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open.
If children ask their parents for something
good, their parents will always give it to them. Even more so will the
heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him
Heavenly Father, please give me your Holy
Spirit!

Isaiah 57-58: Tell my people their faults,
tell the House of Jacob its sins. Tell them that their fasting is a
sham.
Fasting and injustice cannot go together. This is the sort of fast that
pleases the Lord:
breaking unjust fetters,
sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering and clothing the homeless
poor. Do this and you will find healing
and peace.
Do this and the Lord will give strength to your bones.
Lord, please help me do more to
help poor people
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
101:
My song is of mercy and justice.
I sing to you, O Lord. I will try to walk with blameless
heart.
I will try to give my attention to what is good, not what is bad. People who slander others, people of proud
looks,
these will not be my friends.
People who are good and do good,
these will be my friends.
Dear Lord, please help me to
avoid bad company

Acts
12.1-17:
About this time, King Herod began persecuting
the church. He beheaded the apostle James, brother of John. He arrested
Peter during Passover time. He put Peter in prison and planned to have him
put on trial and killed after Passover. Each day Peter was in prison, the believers
stormed heaven praying for him. On the night before he was to be put on
trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, fastened with chains, with
more soldiers at the prison entrance. Suddenly Peter's cell was filled with light,
and an angel told him to get up. The chains fell from his hands. The angel
led Peter out of the prison, without the guards knowing what was happening.
Peter then left for another place. Herod was
unable to find him
Jesus, please help Christians who are in
prison for their faith
Listen
Luke
11.1-4: Once when Jesus had finished praying in
private, one of his disciples asked him "Lord, teach us to
pray". Jesus replied "Pray like this: Father, may everyone love and honor you.
Your kingdom come.
Thank you for enough food for today.
Forgive us as we forgive others.
Save us in time of trial"
Jesus, please teach me how to pray

Readings for Feast of Michael, Gabriel, Raphael
Tobit
12 (Raphael): When
Tobit's banquet was finished, Tobit wanted to thank Raphael for
all his help. Only then did Raphael tell Tobit and Tobias that he was an angel
sent by God to help them. "I am Raphael, one of the 7 angels who stand ever
ready to enter the presence of the glory of the Lord. Never tire of giving God
thanks. And never tire of helping the poor." Raphael farewelled them, rose
in the air, and left them. They praised and thanked God for all he had done for
them.
Dear God, thank you for all your love, all your blessings
My recording of this reading
Psalm 138: I
thank you, Lord, with all my heart. You have heard the words of my mouth. With the
angels I will bless
you. I will adore you in your holy temple. I thank you for your faithfulness and
love which are far above what we can understand. On the day I called you
answered. You increased the strength of my soul. All earth's kings shall thank
you when they hear the words of your mouth. They shall sing of the Lord's ways:
"How great is the glory of the Lord!"
Lord, when we remember how much you love us
and help us, every day of the year is a Thanksgiving Day
Recording
Revelation 12 (Michael): Then
war broke out in heaven. Michael and
his angels fought the dragon and his angels. Michael
won. Satan and his followers were driven out of heaven. The great dragon, the
serpent, known as the Devil or Satan, was hurled down to earth. His angels were
hurled down with him. The dragon began to make war on the children of the Woman -
those who obey God and bear witness to Jesus.
Jesus, may your holy angels protect us
from Satan
Recording
Luke
1 (Gabriel): 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 on the above Bible readings:
Notice
how the names Raphael, Michael and
Gabriel all end in "el"
which means "God"!
When we are sick we can ask Raphael ("Medicine
of God") to pray for us. When we are in danger, we can ask Michael ("Who
is like God?") to pray for us. When we feel powerless and weak, we can ask Gabriel ("God
is my strength) to pray for us.

Acts
11.19-26: Some believers went to Antioch in Syria where they
preached the Good News
of the Lord Jesus to non-Jewish people. Many
non-Jewish people became believers. Barnabas, a good man filled with the Holy
Spirit, was sent to Antioch in Syria to encourage the new believers to remain
faithful to the Lord. Barnabas brought
Paul from Tarsus to Antioch.
They stayed in Antioch one year, instructing a large number of people. It was at Antioch that the believers were
first called "Christians"

Luke
10.38-42:
Jesus and his disciples visited the home of Martha and Mary. Mary sat at

the Lord answered "Martha, Martha, you worry and fret about so many
things. Mary has chosen has made a better choice"
Jesus, please bless my serving and my
listening!
