Tues Jan 2

  Hello one more time from Kuala Lumpur where yesterday I had more meetings with families of prisoners in HK. This afternoon I'm due to fly to Singapore for a flight to Africa. Today on Day 8 of this anti-drug trafficking trip, I again ask God's blessing on all who made the trip possible and on everyone praying for the trip ... and on all I am meeting on the trip.

 

Moving article about Gaza by a HK journalist who is a young mother ....which has words "Since I became a mother, any bad news about children makes me extremely uncomfortable" .. and see my comment ..which seems not to have been accepted ...so here it is here:
Thank you for this moving article. President Biden needs to follow his conscience instead of being beholden to the 70,000,000 evangelical voters who, sadly, have a false understanding of the role of Israel in the world after being brainwashed by TV evangelists who propagate twisted Bible teaching ....holding that Israel has the right to do whatever it wants in Gaza....which view, it must be said, is opposed by many concerned Jewish people in the US and in Israel. What happened on October 7 was totally evil. But what Israel has been doing in Gaza since October 7 is nothing short of genocide.

1 John 3.1-3: 
Think of the love that the Father has lavished on us by letting us be called God's children. And God's love has even more in store for us in the future: we shall be like him because we shall see him as he really is. This is why we must try to live good lives. We must try to be as good as Christ
Jesus, please help me be more like you

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 98: Sing a new song to the Lord for he has worked wonders. His right hand has brought salvation. The Lord has made known his salvation. He has shown his justice to the nations. He has remembered his truth and love for the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. Shout to the Lord all the earth, ring out your joy. Sing psalms to the Lord with the harp, with the sound of music. Let the sea, the world and all peoples acclaim the King, the Lord. Let the rivers clap their hands and the hills ring out their joy at the presence of the Lord, for he comes to rule the earth. He will rule the world with justice and the peoples with fairness.
Lord, may all peoples in all countries know your love and goodness

 Listen

 

Matthew 2: Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, during the reign of King Herod. Some months after Jesus' birth, several  wise men from the East came to Jerusalem. They said "Where is the infant king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose and we have come to offer him honor."     

Reflection on the above Bible readings: In these days between Christmas and the Epiphany, let's keep thinking about Bethlehem ... and the wise men on their way to honor the Baby

------------------------------

 Advance joke about the 3 wise men on way to Bethlehem. If they had been women, they would have been more practical .... and brought some diapers as gifts!

Psalms 66-68: O God, be gracious and bless us and let your face shine its light upon us. Let all the peoples praise you, O God. Let all the peoples praise you.

Galatians 4.4-6: When the appointed time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, to redeem the subjects of the Law, and to enable us to be adopted as children of God, brothers and sisters of his Son. The proof that we are children is that God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts: the Spirit that cries "Abba, Father"
Jesus, help me understand how I have been adopted, how you are my Brother

c.f. readings for Feast of Holy Family

Sirach 1-3: All wisdom comes from God. Love for God is the source of wisdom. If you desire wisdom, keep the Lord's commandments, in private as well as in public. Keep the commandment to honor your parents. Respect for your father will atone for your sins. Honor for your mother will gain you blessings. Support your father in his old age. Even if his mind should fail, show him kindness. Do not despise him in your health and strength. Be gentle in the way you live your life. The greater you are, the more humbly you should behave. 
Dear God, please help me always respect and honor my parents

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!
Dear Lord, may all married people live to see their children's children

 Listen

 

Colossians 3-4: Wives and husbands, understand and support each other. Children, be obedient to your parents. Parents, treat your children fairly or else they will rebel. Slaves, be obedient and respectful to your owners. Offer up your work to the Lord, our Heavenly Owner. Owners, be just and fair to your slaves. Remember your Heavenly Owner. 
Jesus,  help families to live together in harmony

 Listen

 

Luke 2.39-52: Joseph and Mary moved back to their own town of Nazareth. The child Jesus was filled with wisdom as he grew older Each year  Joseph and Mary would take Jesus to Jerusalem for the celebration of the  Passover. When Jesus was 12 years old, they went to Jerusalem as usual. But when their traveling group left Jerusalem, Jesus stayed behind without his parents knowing it.  They presumed he was somewhere with the group. When they couldn't find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. After 2 days, they found him, in the Temple, listening to the religion teachers and asking them questions. People who heard him were astounded at his intelligence. His mother said to him "My child, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been really worried about you". Jesus replied "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I must be concerned with my Father's work?"  But they didn't understand what he meant. He went with them to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored all these things in her heart
Jesus, please help all "lost children" to be found!

  Yesterday morning after breakfast at my hotel in Bangkok, when I got the lift back to my room, there were two men. I said hello to them and found out they were from the Phillipines...from Mindanao where the Oblates work! They asked me where I was from and I said Australia. They asked which place. I said Brisbane. One of them said he has been living in Brisbane for 41 years! I asked him what suburb in Brisbane. He said Wynnum ...which is where my family lived for 25 years. In fact he lives in Waterview Ave where I used to deliver newspapers from my bike ....and he works in Tingal Road where my family home was! How do you spell "small world"?!

Hello again from Bangkok ...which I'm due to leave today. Yesterday was mainly a day "at the desk" processing many messages ... nearly all to do with prisoners in HK. Today on Day 5 of this anti-drug trafficking trip, I again ask God's blessing on all who made the trip possible and on everyone praying for the trip

 

56 year old woman (not sure from which country) arrested HK airport ...with 18kg (!) of heroin from ....Bangkok airport ....which is one reason my present trip includes a few days in Bangkok ...encouraging authorities to tighten security at Bangkok airport

1 John 2.9-16: Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the dark. Do not love the ungodly values of this world generated by the sensual body, the lustful eye and a pride in possessions. Such things do not come from God
Jesus, please help me avoid worldly values

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

Listen

 


Luke 2.36-40: 

There was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was well on in years. Her days of girlhood over, she had been married for seven years before becoming a widow. She was now eighty-four years old and never left the Temple, serving God night and day with fasting and prayer. She came by just at that moment and began to praise God; and she spoke of the child to all who looked forward to the deliverance of Jerusalem.

When they had done everything the Law of the Lord required, they went back to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. Meanwhile the child grew to maturity, and he was filled with wisdom; and Gods favour was with him.

I wish all dear readers the peace of Christmas right through 2024!

Hello again from Bangkok where yesterday morning I attended a most important meeting. In the afternoon I planned to attend another meeting but my tuk tuk driver got lost and after much meandering stopped outside an important looking building to ask directions. Turned out the important looking building was a better place for me to go than the place I had planned to go! So I went in and was warmly welcomed by three very special people ...who were about to finish work for the year...but who kindly stayed on to spend time with me... resulting in a meeting that was even more blessed than the one in the morning! God's plans are better than ours! Today on Day 3 of this anti-drug trafficking trip, I again ask God's blessing on all who made the trip possible and on everyone praying for the trip ... and on everyone I met yesterday!.

1 John 2.3-6:
 
We can be sure we know God only by keeping his commandments. Anyone who says "I know him" and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, refusing to admit the truth. We can be sure we are in God only if we are living the same kind of life as Christ lived
Jesus, please help me live like you, live for you

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 96: O sing a new song to the Lord. Sing to the Lord, all the earth. O sing to the Lord, bless his name. Proclaim his help day by day. Tell among the nations his glory, and his wonders among all the peoples. It was the Lord who made the heavens. Give the Lord, you families of peoples, give the Lord glory and honor. Bring an offering and enter his temple. Worship the Lord in his sacred place. Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad. Let the sea and all within it thunder praise. Let the land and all it bears rejoice, all the trees of the forest shout for joy. Everyone and everything, give the Lord glory and honor
Lord, you are our Creator. We love and praise you

Luke 2.21-32: When the baby was circumcised on the 8th day, he was given the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him 9 months before. When Jesus was 40 days old, his parents took him to the Temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord, as the Law required. In Jerusalem there was an old man named Simeon. The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that before he died,  he would see the Christ of the Lord. Prompted by the Spirit, he came to the Temple, took Jesus in his arms and praised God, saying "Now, Master, you can let your servant go in peace, for my eyes have seen the Savior. He is a light to enlighten the pagans, and he is the glory of your people Israel"
Jesus, true Light of the world, we praise you Lord

Reflection: During this Christmas week, let's keep thinking about the first Christmas .... keep "pondering in our hearts", like Mary.

1 John 1.5-9: God is light. There is no darkness in him. If we say we are in union with God while we are living in darkness, we are lying, because we are not living the truth. If we say we have no sin in us, we are deceiving ourselves and refusing to admit the truth. But if we acknowledge our sins, God will forgive us and purify us from everything that is wrong
Jesus, forgive my sins. Please help me avoid sin
 
My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 124: "If the Lord had not been on our side", this is Israel's song. If the Lord had not been on our side when people rose against us, then would they have swallowed us alive when they were angry with us. Blessed be the Lord who did not let us become a prey for their teeth. Our life, like a bird, has escaped from the snare of the hunter. Indeed the snare has been broken and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. 
Thank you, Lord, for all the times you have rescued me from trouble

For today's Feast of the Holy Innocents:
Matthew 2.13-23: 
After the wise men left Bethlehem, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and said "Go quickly to Egypt, because Herod wants to kill the child". That same night, Joseph got up and set out for Egypt with Mary and Jesus. Herod was angry after being tricked by the wise men. He got his soldiers to kill all baby boys two years old or younger in Bethlehem. After Herod died some months later, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him to return to Israel. Joseph, Mary and Jesus moved to the town of Nazareth, thus fulfilling the prophecy about the Saviour: "He will be called a Nazarene".
Jesus, you were once a refugee. Please bless all refugees in the world today

  Yesterday I watched a live "Listening Post" program on Al Jazeera ...which I can't now find a link for ... which explains why President Joe Biden is supporting Israel so strongly....because...he needs the votes of 70,000,000 Evangelical Christians who believe that everything Israel does is according to Bible prophecy. Such people are constantly brainwashed by TV evangelists who, from my point of view, hold a very, very strange understanding of the Bible. How can anyone be called a Christian who supports Genocide in Gaza?? Does anyone think that God wants Genocide to happen??

John 20.1-10: Before dawn the next morning, Sunday, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb.  She saw the stone had been moved from the tomb's entrance. She ran to Peter and John and said "Someone has taken the Lord out of the tomb". They ran back to the tomb. Peter went in first. He saw that the linen cloths were on the ground. But the cloth that had been around Jesus' head was not on the ground. It was neatly folded and in a place by itself. Then John went into the tomb. He saw, and he believed

I turned to see who had spoken to me, and I saw Jesus, full of glory. His face was like the sun shining with all its force. He said to me "Do not be afraid. It is I, the First and the Last. I am the Living One"
Jesus, Living One, we praise and adore you, Lord
