Although no conclusive proof exists that GM cereals may be harmful to human
beings, and in some regions their use has brought about economic growth which
has helped to resolve problems, there remain a number of significant
difficulties which should not be underestimated. In many places, following the
introduction of these crops, productive land is concentrated in the hands of a
few owners due to "the progressive disappearance of small producers, who,
as a consequence of the loss of the exploited lands, are obliged to withdraw
from direct production". The most vulnerable of these become
temporary labourers, and many rural
workers end up moving to poverty-stricken urban areas. The expansion of
these crops has the effect of destroying the complex network of ecosystems,
diminishing the diversity of production and affecting regional economies, now
and in the future. In various countries, we see an
expansion of oligopolies for the production of cereals and other products
needed for their cultivation. This dependency would be aggravated were
the production of infertile seeds to be considered; the effect would be to
force farmers to purchase them from larger producers.

Joshua
7: The Lord had told the
Israelites not to keep anything for themselves
when they captured Jericho. But one man disobeyed
the Lord
and secretly kept some of the spoils. As a result of that
man's disobedience,
the Israelites were defeated in battle when they attacked the town of
Ai. The disobedient
man's identity was found by drawing of the lot: of the 12 tribes, one was chosen, the tribe of
Judah; of the tribe of Judah, one clan was chosen, that of Zerah; of the families of
Zerah, one was chosen, that of Zabdi; of the men of Zabdi, one was chosen,
Achan. Achan admitted his
guilt.
He and his whole family were then stoned to death
and a great cairn built over them.
All of Achan's possessions were burnt.
Dear
Lord, please don't let me disobey you
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
38-39: O Lord, please forgive my sins and heal
me.
Heal my body which is sick because of my sins. Protect me, Lord, from those who gloat over me
now that I am brought low and unable to help myself. Lord, you have shown me how short a time I
have on earth.
Lord, give me wisdom of heart to live my life better.
Lord, help us understand the
meaning of life
Listen
2
Timothy 3.12-16: Anyone who tries to live a sincere Christian
life will be persecuted. Stay faithful to what you have been taught and
know to be true.
Remember who your teachers were, and how, ever since you were a child, you
have known the Scriptures. From the Scriptures you can learn the wisdom
that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and can be
used for teaching, for refuting error, for guiding people's lives and
teaching them to be holy
Jesus, please give all Christians, especially
pastors,
a passion for the Scriptures
Listen
Matthew
27.45-54: Jesus was put on the cross about
9am.
From about noon until 3pm there was darkness over all the land. About 3pm Jesus cried out the words of
Psalm 22:
"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
Listen
Reflection: Sometimes we read reports of how someone died to save someone else .... like some years ago when a father pushed his son to safety while crossing a road in Sham Shui Po when a drunken truck driver went through a red light ... the boy was injured, the father died. How grateful that boy must be every day of his life for what his father did. How grateful we must be every day of our lives to Jesus for dying for us.

It is difficult to make a general judgement about genetic
modification (GM), whether vegetable or animal, medical or
agricultural, since these vary greatly among themselves and call for specific
considerations. The risks involved are not always due to the techniques used,
but rather to their improper or excessive application. Genetic mutations, in
fact, have often been, and continue to be, caused by nature itself. Nor are
mutations caused by human intervention a modern phenomenon. The domestication
of animals, the crossbreeding of species and other older and universally
accepted practices can be mentioned as examples. We need but recall that
scientific developments in GM cereals began with the observation of natural
bacteria which spontaneously modified plant genomes. In nature, however, this
process is slow and cannot be compared to the fast pace induced by
contemporary technological advances, even when the latter build upon several
centuries of scientific progress

John
20.21-29 (a): That
same Sunday evening, the doors were locked in the room where the disciples had
gathered, for fear of the religious leaders. But Jesus appeared and stood
before them, saying "Peace be with you". He showed them his hands
and his side and said "As the Father sent me, so I am sending you".
Then he breathed on them, saying "Receive the Holy Spirit". Thomas,
one of the 12 apostles, was not there that night. When the other disciples
said they had seen the Lord, he replied "Unless I see and touch his
wounded body, I refuse to believe"
Recording
John
20.21-29 (b): Eight
days later, the group was again in the same house, with the doors locked. This
time Thomas was
with them. Jesus
again appeared and stood before them saying "Peace be with you".
Then he said to Thomas "Put your hand into my side. Doubt no longer, but
believe". Thomas replied "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said
"You believe because you can see me. Blessed are those who have not seen
me and yet believe"
Jesus, my Lord and my God, I believe in you. Help me live and grow and die
in your friendship

I spent much of yesterday looking after Patrick (not real name), an elderly drug mule from overseas who was released on bail last Friday. Like having a baby ... much attention required! And before this one is weaned there might be two more to take care of very soon!?! Patrick's arrest details are here (...bed sheets!). Patrick had been tricked on line. Thank you again to all the people who prayed for his release on bail ... a miracle.
Laudato

132. This, then, is the correct framework
for any reflection concerning human
intervention on plants and animals, which at present includes genetic
manipulation by biotechnology for the sake of exploiting the potential present
in material reality. The respect owed by faith to reason calls for close
attention to what the biological sciences, through research uninfluenced by
economic interests, can teach us about biological structures, their
possibilities and their mutations. Any legitimate intervention will act on
nature only in order "to favour its development in its own line, that of
creation, as intended by God".

Kings 4: A poor widow
whose husband had been a prophet asked Elisha for help when a creditor
demanded her two sons as slaves. All she had was a small pot of oil, not
enough to pay her debts. Elisha told her to get many jars, and start pouring
oil from the pot into the jars. As she and her sons did this, the
oil did not run out. Elisha told her to sell the oil to pay off her
debts. At another time Elisha brought back to life a dead child. He also
once brought about a miraculous multiplication of bread.
Dear God, you
once worked miracles by the prayers of Elisha. Please let miracles be
done in our day.

means we have died to sin, and risen to a new life. We died to an old life,

and do not be afraid of persecution. Take
up your cross and follow me. Anyone who does not take up his cross and
follow me is not worthy of me."

Joshua:
"I am delivering Jericho and its king into your hands. Get your soldiers to
march around Jericho.
Do this for 6 days,
marching with the Sacred Chest with 7 trumpets in front of it. On the 7th day, march
around the city 7 times,
and then let the whole people give a mighty war cry." The soldiers and people
did this,
and when the war cry was made,
the walls of Jericho fell down. The Israelites then
entered the town and captured it.
They spared the lives of Rahab the prostitute and her family

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".

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

Psalm
34: I will bless the Lord

let us praise his name. I sought the Lord and he answered me. From all my
terrors he set me free. The
angel of the Lord is
encamped around those who revere the Lord, to rescue them. Taste and see that
the Lord is good. They are happy who seek refuge in him. The Lord is close to

Laudato
Si:
131. Here I would recall the balanced
position of Saint John Paul II, who stressed the benefits of scientific and
technological progress as evidence of "the nobility of the human vocation
to participate responsibly in God's creative action", while also noting
that "we cannot interfere in one area of the ecosystem without paying due
attention to the consequences of such interference in other areas". He
made it clear that the Church values the benefits which result "from the
study and applications of molecular biology, supplemented by other disciplines
such as genetics, and its technological application in agriculture and
industry". But he also pointed out that this should not lead to
"indiscriminate genetic manipulation" which ignores the
negative effects of such interventions. Human creativity cannot be suppressed.
If an artist cannot be stopped from using his or her creativity, neither
should those who possess particular gifts for the advancement of science and
technology be prevented from using their God-given talents for the service of
others. We need constantly to rethink
the goals, effects, overall context and ethical limits of this human activity,
which is a form of power involving considerable risks.

Joshua 5:
The kings of the

heard that the Lord had
dried up the Jordan's waters
to let the Israelites cross over.
The kings became very afraid of the Israelites. At Gilgal near the
Jordan
the Lord instructed Joshua
that all un-circumcised men should be circumcised. It was at Gilgal that
the Israelites kept the Passover Feast
and tasted the produce of the land.
As soon as the Israelites tasted the produce of the land,
the manna stopped falling.

Avoid futile speculations which only lead to quarrels. A servant of the Lord is not to engage in
quarrels, but should be kind to everyone, a good teacher, and patient. Be gentle with anyone you have to correct
Jesus, please help me avoid useless discussions and arguments

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.
