Judith
7: Holofernes laid siege against the Israelite
mountain town of Bethulia.
Holofernes seized control of Bethulia's water supply springs,
thinking that thirst would force the Israelites to surrender. For 34 days the siege continued, until the
people of Bethulia were weak from thirst. The people of Bethulia prayed hard to God for
help.
The leaders of Bethulia planned to hold out for 5 more days
before surrendering.
A feeling of hopelessness hung over the town.
God, help of the helpless, please help people who are in big trouble
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
42-45: Like a deer that longs for running streams,
so my soul is longing for you, my God. My soul is thirsting for you, the God of my
life.
I think of you all the time, here in my land of exile. People make fun of us here in exile.
They taunt us saying "Where is your God?" Yet no matter what happens we will hope in you,
for you are our saviour and our God. No
matter where we are or what happens to us,
our hearts will long for you, like a bride longing for her groom.
Lord, no matter what happens,
may I always hope in you
Listen
Acts
7.55 - 8.3:
Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked
up and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God's right hand. "I can see heaven thrown open", he
said, "and Jesus standing at the right hand of God". At this, the religious leaders at the meeting
covered their ears with their hands. They sent Stephen out of the city and
stoned him. The false witnesses (who were required to throw the first
stones) put down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Paul. As they were stoning him, Stephen prayed
"Lord Jesus, receive my spirit". Then he knelt down and prayed
"Lord, do not hold this sin against them". Then he died. Paul
entirely approved of the killing. That day a bitter persecution started against
the church in Jerusalem
and everyone except the apostles fled to the countryside. Paul began working for the destruction of the church. He went from house to house arresting men and
women and sending them to prison
Jesus, thank you for the example of Stephen
who, like yourself, forgave those who were killing him
Listen
Luke
9.1-6:
Jesus called the 12 apostles together. He
gave them power and authority to cast out devils and to heal sick people.
He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
So they set out and went from village to
village proclaiming the Good News and healing sick people
Jesus, help me understand how some
people have a special gift for healing sick people....and how I can
better pray to heal sick people
Listen
Reflection: Healing the sick was .... and should still be ... a fundamental part of spreading the Good News

Judith
6:
Holofernes not only ignored Achior's advice, he ridiculed him for
suggesting that the Israelites could resist his army.
Holofernes then handed Achior over to the Israelites "to suffer the
same punishment as they would receive from Holofernes' army."
Dear God, when people ridicule
us for speaking the truth, please give us strength and courage
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
41: Blessed the person who helps the poor and the
weak.
He himself will be helped by the Lord when he is sick and in trouble. The Lord will help him on his bed of pain.
The Lord will bring him back from sickness to health.
Lord, please help me to do more
for the poor
Listen
Acts
7.1-54: The meeting of religious leaders had falsely
accused Stephen of being disloyal to Moses. So Stephen gave a long speech, full of loyalty
to Moses. Then he made a stinging attack on the leaders: "You
stubborn people, with your pagan hearts and pagan ears. You are always
resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors did. Your ancestors killed the prophets who
foretold the coming of the Just One. You have gone further: you
have killed the Just One himself". When the leaders heard these words, they were
very angry and wanted to kill Stephen
Jesus, Just One from heaven, please don't let
me resist the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit of God, please increase your
influence in my life
Listen
Luke
8.40-56: A prayer hall official came to Jesus and
urgently asked him to go to his house, where his 12 year old daughter was
dying.
As Jesus and his friends were following the official to his home,
a woman who had a hemorrhage for 12 years came up behind Jesus and touched
his clothing. Her bleeding stopped at that moment.
Jesus knew what had happened and said to her
"My daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace".
Before Jesus arrived at the official's house, a messenger arrived
and said to the official "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the
Master any more". Jesus heard these words and said to the
official "Do not be afraid. Have faith, and she will be ok". At the house Jesus allowed only Peter, James,
John and the girl's parents to go with him inside.
To the mourners Jesus said "Stop crying.
She is not dead, but asleep". They laughed at him, since they
knew she was dead.
Jesus took the little girl by the hand and called to her "Child, get
up". Her spirit returned and she got up at once
Jesus, please increase my faith in your power to
heal sick people and raise the dead

Proverbs
30-31: Every
word of God is true and of great value. Do not change or misinterpret God's
words. Do not give way to sexual excess. Do not give way to drunkenness. Be
the voice of the poor, the unwanted.
Uphold the rights of the needy. Happy the man who finds a good wife. She is far
beyond the price of pearls. She looks after her household with care. She works
diligently for her family. She holds out her hand to the poor. She opens her
arms to the needy. Charm is deceitful, and beauty empty. The woman who is wise
is the one to praise.
Lord, thank you for all the wisdom in the Book of Proverbs!
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
128: O blessed are those
who love the Lord and walk in his ways. By the labor of your hands you shall
eat. You will be happy and prosper: your wife like a fruitful vine in the heart
of your house; your children like shoots of the olive, around your table. Indeed
thus shall be blessed the people who love and honor the Lord. May the Lord bless
you from Zion all the days of your life. May
you see your children's children in a happy Jerusalem! On
Israel, peace!

Thessalonians 5.1-11: The
Lord's coming will not find us unprepared if we live a good life. You are
not children of the night and of darkness. You are children of the light and of

for a helmet. Encourage one another. Strengthen one another.
Jesus, please help me be a person of encouragement,
not discouragement

Luke
12.35-38: Jesus said to his disciples "Be like people
waiting for their master to return, ready to open the door as soon as he comes
and knocks. Be ready, for I will come at an hour you do not expect. "When
someone is given a great deal, of that person more will be expected".
Jesus, you have given me so much. Please help me use my gifts and my situation
to do more to help other people
Listen
Reflection on the above readings:
On this World Day of the Poor, we "who have been given a great deal" (today's Gospel) must ask ourselves: are we helping as many people as God intends us to help?

on bail for whom I am surety. In the afternoon I attended a meeting of AITECE,
a wonderful NGO which helps poorer areas in China to find teachers from
overseas.

Deum:

Our world has become so multipolar and
at the same time so complex that a different framework for effective cooperation
is required. It is not enough to think only of balances of power but also
of the need to provide a response to new problems and to react with global
mechanisms to the environmental, public health, cultural and social challenges,
especially in order to consolidate respect for the most elementary human rights,
social rights and the protection of our common home. It is a matter of
establishing global and effective rules that can permit "providing
for" this global safeguarding.

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
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
40: I waited, I waited for the Lord and he
stooped down to me.
He heard my cry. He saved me from distress.
He put fresh hope into my heart. How many, O Lord my God, are the times you
have helped me.
They are too many for me to describe. My God, in the depth of my heart I delight in
your law.
You do not want external offerings.
You want my heart.
Lord, I offer you my heart, my
love. You deserve all my love
Listen
Acts
6.8-15: One of the seven deacons, Stephen, was filled
with grace and power.
He began to do many miracles. A group of Jews tried to beat Stephen in a
debate. But they could not win, because the Holy Spirit was guiding
Stephen in his speech. The group then got some men to falsely accuse
Stephen of being disloyal to Moses and to God. The group had Stephen arrested and brought
before a meeting of the religious leaders. At the meeting, false witnesses
accused Stephen of speaking against Moses and the Law
Jesus, please protect people who are accused
by false witnesses
Listen
Luke
8.22-25: Jesus and his disciples got into a boat to
cross the lake. Jesus was so tired that he went to sleep in
the boat.
Then a sudden storm caused big waves to lash the boat. Jesus' friends woke him up and said
"Master, we are sinking". Jesus ordered the wind and sea to be
calm.
Straight away the wind and sea were calm. The disciples said to each other
"Who is this? Even the wind and sea obey him."
Jesus, please calm the storms in my life
Listen
Reflection: So many storms in our world at the moment ... "Master, we are sinking!"

After the O.M.I. in-service meeting finished in Sheung Shui with
lunch yesterday, I spent the afternoon at nearby Lo Wu women's prison ....
coming away sad and angry after meeting more women who were tricked to
deliver/receive drugs in HK. Hopefully good legal teams will be able to help the
women prove their innocence ... but for the meantime (= two or three years) they
will have to remain in detention.

The old diplomacy, also in crisis, continues to show its importance and
necessity. Still, it has not succeeded in generating a model of multilateral
diplomacy capable of responding to the new configuration of the world; yet
should it be able to reconfigure itself, it must be part of the solution,
because the experience of centuries
cannot be cast aside either.

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 ((especially
Palestine!))

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

Acts
6.1-7:
About this time as the number of disciples
kept growing, the twelve apostles decided to give other men the job of
daily food distribution. The apostles said to the whole group of
believers "It is not right for us to neglect the service of the
word. Therefore you should choose seven men of good reputation, filled
with the Holy Spirit and with wisdom. We give them the food
distribution job, so that we can devote ourselves to prayer
and the service of the word". The whole assembly approved of this idea.
They
chose seven men and presented them to the apostles who prayed over them
with the laying on of hands. The word of the Lord continued to spread. Even
a large number of priests became believers
Jesus, please bless all deacons. Fill them
with the courage and wisdom of the first seven deacons

Luke
8.19-21: Jesus' mother and his brothers came looking

They could not get to him because of the crowd. Jesus was told "Your mother and brothers

Jesus, please help me put your word into
practice in my daily life

Reflection: If someone asks me "do you have any brothers or sisters?" ... . I need to remember Brother Jesus!

It is not a matter of replacing politics,
but of recognizing that the emerging forces are becoming increasingly relevant
and are in fact capable of obtaining important results in the resolution of
concrete problems, as some of them demonstrated during the pandemic. The very
fact that answers to problems can come from any country, however little, ends up
presenting multilateralism as an inevitable process.

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.
Dear God, please help all
nations to live in peace with each other

me,
you who rescue the weak from the strong, you whose love is so precious,
you in whose light we see light. We believe that if we find our
delight in you,
you will grant our heart's desire. And so we commit our lives to you,
confident you will help us in time of trouble.
Lord, please deepen our trust
in you,
especially in time of trouble

Acts
5.34-42: One religious leader at the meeting, Gamaliel,
asked that the apostles be removed from the room. Then he spoke to the
other leaders: "Men of Israel, be careful how you deal
with these people. If this movement of theirs is of human origin, it will
die out of its own accord. But if it comes from God, you will not be able
to destroy it. You might even find yourselves fighting against God".
His advice was accepted. The apostles were
warned, flogged and released. They left the meeting glad to have had the
honor of suffering humiliation for the sake of Jesus. They resumed their
daily preaching, in the Temple and in private homes
Jesus, thank you for times
of suffering for you
Listen
Luke
8.4-15:
One day Jesus told the people this story: A farmer was planting seeds in his field.
Some seeds fell on the path. Birds ate them.
Some seeds fell on rocky ground.
They became sickly plants, without roots, and died. Some seeds fell among thorns.
When they became plants, they were choked by the thorns. Some seeds fell on
good soil
and produced a rich harvest. People who hear God's word without good will
are like the seeds on the path.
They are easy prey for Satan. People who hear God's word only superficially
are like the seeds on rocky ground.
As soon as difficulties come, such people easily give up. People who hear God's word with one ear
but with the other are listening to the call of greed and pleasure
are like the seeds among thorns. Greed kills the word. People who hear God's word with good will and
put it into practice
are like the good seeds which produced a rich harvest
Jesus, please help me be
good ground!
Listen
Reflection: The problem in the Gospel was not the seeds ... but the ground. We pray to be good SOIL!

Deum:
39. Postmodern
culture has generated a new sensitivity towards the more vulnerable
and less powerful. This is connected with my insistence in the Encyclical
Letter Fratelli Tutti on the primacy of the human person and the
defence of his or her dignity beyond every circumstance. It is another way of
encouraging multilateralism for the sake of resolving the real problems of
humanity, securing before all else respect for the dignity of persons, in such a
way that ethics will prevail over local or contingent interests.
