NGOs yesterday afternoon had a most important meeting with government officials
concerning the situation of domestic helpers in HK. MercyHK was
represented by Lucia Leung. Photo.
I spent yesterday at Shek
Pik men's prison on Lantau Island, my first visit for more than 3 years.
When I was stationed on Lantau Island, working in Epiphany Parish for 6 years, I
used to visit Shek Pik every Friday. Was good to be back again. (and see 
below!)

Jonah
1: God said to Jonah: "Go to the city of
Nineveh and preach repentance." Jonah was afraid to go to
Nineveh. He ran away.
He boarded a ship for Tarshish.
When the ship was at sea, a great storm hit the ship. The sailors drew lots to see who was
responsible for this bad luck.
The lot chose Jonah who admitted his guilt in disobeying God. The sailors then threw Jonah overboard.
The sea immediately became calm again.
Lord,
please help me agree to do anything you ask me to do
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
149-150: Sing a new song to the Lord.
Let the praise of God be always on our lips. Praise God in his holy temple.
Praise him in the heavens. O praise him with sound of
trumpet.
Praise him with lute and harp.
Praise him with drums and dancing.
Praise him with strings and pipes.
Let everything that lives and
breathes,
give praise to the Lord our Creator. Alleluia! Lord, to you we say every day
"Allelu-ia" ("praise God")
Listen
Romans
1.26-32:
Refusing to honor the Creator is why people's
behaviour went bad:
why women turned from natural intercourse to unnatural practices, and why
men gave up natural intercourse to be consumed with passion for each
other, men doing shameless things with men, and getting an appropriate
reward for their perversion. Since people refused to honor God, they have
dishonored themselves
Jesus, help people not be
mislead by false teaching which says that a "gay" lifestyle is
ok
(See: Can Homosexuality Be
Healed?, by Francis MacNutt)
Listen
John
1:5, 19-34:
John the Baptist was sent by God as a witness
to the people about the presence of the Word among them. When religious leaders asked John "Who
are you?", he replied "I am, as the prophet Isaiah prophesied, a
voice crying out: make a straight way for the Lord". When Jesus came to the river Jordan where John
was baptizing, John said "Look, there is the lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world. He is far more important than I am, because he
existed (as the Word) before I was born. I saw the Holy Spirit come down on him like a
dove. He will baptize people with the Holy Spirit. He is the Chosen
One of God"
Jesus, lamb of God, Chosen One of God, please
baptize me with the Holy Spirit

Apart from Mass at the Dr Jesus Centre for domestic helpers staying at MercyHK shelters, I spent most of yesterday at the desk, catching up on many prison jobs ... and doing a little bit of preparation for my overseas trip on Dec 12.
Today I was intending to visit a certain prison, but one of the main people I planned to see (whose family I'm due to meet on the Dec 12 trip) is in quarantine after becoming a "close contact" of a Covid positive case. So I am following Plan B to visit another prison ... after phoning the prison to make sure there's no "close contact" problem there!

Amos
1-9: It was God who formed the
mountains and created the wind. The Lord is his name. He says to the House of
Israel: Seek me and you shall live. Do not go to the places of idol worship.
Seek good and not evil, so that you may live. Hate evil and love good. Injustice
and swindling, exploitation of the poor, this is the reason for earthquakes and
disaster.
Lord,
please help me to do good and avoid evil
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
148: Praise the Lord from the heavens,
praise him in the heights. Praise him all his angels,
praise him all his spirits.
Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, shining stars.
Let them praise the name of the Lord.
His word gave life to all of them. Praise the Lord from the earth,
sea creatures and all oceans. Praise him fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy winds that obey his word. Praise him all mountains and
hills,
all fruit trees and cedars.
Praise him all animals, wild and tame,
reptiles and birds in the air. Praise him all earth's kings and peoples,
earth's princes and rulers. Praise him young men and maidens,
old people together with children. Let them praise the name of the Lord.
He is the praise of all who love him.
Lord our God and Creator, you
are worthy of all praise
Listen
Romans
1.18-25: Everyone needs the Good News, especially
people who put truth in prison. Ever since the world began, people could know
God by seeing the wonders of creation. But even though they saw the beauty of
creation, they refused to honor the Creator. They replaced honor for God with honor for
images of men and beasts. They worshipped a god they made instead of God who made them.
Jesus, may the beauty of creation help people
know you and your Father and the Holy Spirit
Listen
John
1.1-14: From all eternity the Word existed.
The Word was with God the Father.
The Word was God the Son. The Word was the source of life for all
creatures. The Word became a man, and lived among
us.
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
Jesus, please help me understand how you are

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!
Lord, please help world leaders do more for peace in our world
My

Psalm
122: I rejoiced when
I heard them say "Let us go to God's house." And now our feet are

"Peace be to your homes."
For love of the house of the Lord I will ask for your good.

every nation before the end of the world. At the end of the world, the sun and
moon will stop shining. Stars will fall from the sky. Then the sign of the Son
of Man will appear in the sky and all peoples will see the Son of Man coming on
the clouds with power and glory. He will send his angels with a loud trumpet to
gather good people from all parts of the earth. Therefore you should live
a good life, and you will have nothing to fear on your last day." Jesus,
please help me be a good person

Joel
1-4: My country has been invaded.
Joy has disappeared from the land. Priests, put on sackcloth and lament.
Proclaim a fast to pray for our nation. Turn to the Lord your God again,
for he is all tenderness and compassion. Call out to the Lord for help.
"Spare your people, Lord!" The Lord replies:
"I will save and rescue you. I will pour out my spirit on all
peoples.
Every one will prophesy and see visions. You will learn that I am the Lord your God.
Jerusalem will be a holy place."
Lord,
let our land be filled with knowledge of you and love for you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
147: Praise the Lord for he is good.
Sing to our God for he is loving. To him our praise is
due. The Lord builds up Jerusalem
and brings back Israel's exiles. He heals the broken-hearted
and binds up all their wounds. The Lord raises the lowly
and humbles the wicked. He fixes the number of the stars.
He calls each one by name. Our Lord is great and almighty.
His wisdom can never be measured. He covers the heavens with clouds.
He prepares rain for the earth, making mountains sprout with grass
and with plants to serve our needs. His delight is not in horses
nor his pleasure in warriors' strength. The Lord delights in those who love and honor
him,
in those who wait for his love.
It is right and fitting to
praise and love you, Lord our Creator
Listen
Romans
1.8-16: I thank God for the
way people everywhere speak of your faith. I never fail to mention
you in my prayers.
I pray for the opportunity to visit you if God wills. I long to see you to
encourage you and to be encouraged by you. For I am not ashamed of
the Good News. It is the power of God saving everyone who has faith, Jews
first then everyone else
Jesus, help me to pray
for others the way Paul prayed for others
Listen
Luke
24.50-53: Jesus then took his disciples out of
Jerusalem to the village of Bethany.
Lifting up his hands, he blessed them. As he blessed them, he was carried up to heaven.
They worshipped him, then went back to
Jerusalem full of joy. They were continually in the Temple praising
God
Jesus, thank you for the Gospel of Luke.
Please increase my faith in you as the One who came down from heaven, and
went back to heaven

Hosea 7-14: God's message through Hosea:
Israel has forgotten its Maker.
The people worship idols made by human hands. It is time to seek the Lord.
It is time to sow integrity and reap kindness. Israel,
come back to the Lord your God.
Have no more to do with idols made by human hands.
Lord, please help us lead good
lives, and thereby follow you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
146: My soul, give
praise to the Lord.
I will praise the Lord all my days. Put no trust in
princes,
in mortal men in whom there is no help. Take their breath, they
return to clay
and their plans that day come to nothing. They are happy who are
helped by Jacob's God,
whose hope is in the Lord our God, who alone made heaven
and earth,
the seas and all they contain. It is he who gives
bread to the hungry,
the Lord, who sets prisoners free. It is the Lord who
gives sight to the blind,
who raises up those who are bowed down. It is the Lord who
protects the stranger
and upholds the widow and orphan. It is the Lord who
loves the just
but thwarts the path of the wicked. The Lord will reign for
ever,
Zion's God, from age to age.
Lord, please increase my trust
and faith in you

Romans
1.1-7:
From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, who has
been called to be an apostle,
and specially chosen to preach the Good News. This news is about the Son of God who,
according to the human nature he took, was a descendant of David. This news is about Jesus Christ our Lord who,
by his resurrection from the dead, proved he was the Son of God. From him I received my mission to preach the
obedience of faith to non-Jewish nations. You are one of these nations. You belong to
Jesus Christ. To you who are God's beloved friends in
Rome,
may
God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give grace and peace
Jesus, Son of God, may all nations know
and love you
Listen
Luke
24.36-49: The disciples were still talking about what
had happened when suddenly Jesus himself stood among them. At first they
were terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost. But he said "Look at my hands and feet.
Yes, it is I indeed. Touch me and see for yourselves. A ghost has no flesh
and bones as you can see I have". Their fear turned to joy but they still
couldn't believe what they were seeing. So he asked them for something to
eat, and they gave him some grilled fish which he ate in front of them. Then he opened their minds to understand the
Scriptures, and he said "So you see how it is written that the Christ
would suffer, and on the third day rise from the dead. And that in his
name repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all the
nations. Soon I will send down to you what the Father
promised (the Holy Spirit). Stay in Jerusalem until you are clothed
with this power from on high".
Jesus, increase my faith in your
resurrection, and open my mind to understand the Bible better

Reflection: Jesus didn't just rise as a spirit, but as a body-back-to-life, a body that could eat fish ... to forestall the argument that his resurrection was just a spiritual phenomenon

What am I to do with you, Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud,

112: I will give you glory, O God my king.
I will bless your name day after day. The Lord is great, worthy of all praise.
His greatness cannot be measured. Age to age shall proclaim your works,
shall speak of your splendor and glory. The Lord is kind and full of compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in love. How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures. All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord,
and tell all the world of your love. The Lord is faithful in all his words
and loving in all his deeds. The Lord supports all who fall
and raises all who are bowed down. The eyes of all creatures look to you and you give them their food each day.
The Lord is close to all who call him,
who call on him from their hearts. Let the whole world bless the Lord's holy
name,
for ever, for ages unending.

Acts
28.17-31: Not long after his arrival in Rome, Paul had a

until evening. Paul talked to them about the kingdom of God.
He tried to help them believe in Jesus. Some accepted Jesus. Paul was in detention for two years, in his
own rented house. He welcomed everyone who came to visit him. With
boldness and without hindrance, he taught people about the Lord Jesus
Christ
Jesus, thank you for the Acts of the Apostles.
May I help more people know and love you, like Paul

Luke
24.13-35: That same day, two of Jesus' disciples were
on their way from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, about 7 km from
Jerusalem. As they talked about all that had happened,
Jesus himself joined them as they walked along. But they did not recognize
him. When Jesus asked them what they were talking
about, they said "About Jesus of Nazareth, and how our
leaders had him crucified. And how some women in our group went to Jesus'
tomb and were told by angels that he was alive". Jesus then explained the Scripture passages
which predicted his suffering and resurrection. Jesus joined the two men for an evening meal.
During the meal,
he blessed some bread and gave it to them. They then
recognized him. But he immediately vanished from their sight. They said to each other "Did not our
hearts burn within us as he talked to us on the road and explained the
Scriptures to us?" Straight away they returned to Jerusalem where
the eleven apostles said to them "Yes, it is true. The Lord has
risen". Then they told their story of what had
happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus at the
breaking of bread
Jesus, please make my heart burn within me as

collected a court "get out of jail letter" and brought letter back to
our centre in Temple Street .... where Raymond then took the letter to the

Hosea 4: People of Israel,
listen to the word of the Lord: there is no fidelity, no tenderness,
no knowledge of God in the country, only perjury and lies, slaughter, theft,
adultery, violence and murder. This is why the country is in mourning.
This is why you have experienced so much disaster.

Please continue to bless your people, Lord. Let our sons flourish like saplings
grown tall and strong from their youth;
our daughters graceful as columns,

They entered the tomb and found that the body
of Jesus was not there. Suddenly two men in brilliant clothes appeared at
their side. The men said to them "Why look among the
dead for someone who is alive? He is not here. He has risen, just as he
said he would". The women told all this to the eleven
apostles. But the apostles did not believe them
