Imitating
Pope Francis
Tues Jan 30
Hello again from Sao Paulo in Brazil where yesterday I attended
two most important meetings in the morning and early afternoon. Then when having
an evening meal at a restaurant near my hotel, a waiter (aged c, 25) said
"my foot got better after you prayed for me last year". One year ago I
went to that restaurant with a group of families of prisoners in HK ... the
man's foot had been really painful for a long time ...he said he felt like
he was walking on broken glass ... but after prayer the pain went away. Thank
you Jesus! After the restaurant meal a kind friend helped me buy and
deliver drinks and food for 8 homeless people in a park near my hotel .... with
one man saying he also remembers me from last year!
On Day 35 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.

Job 25-31:
Bildad then reminded Job that God's power is
beyond human understanding. No one should question God's actions. Job replied:
"I swear by God who denies me justice that as long as I have breath,
I will live a life of innocence. I remember how I have always lived as a friend
of God:
how I helped the poor, the orphan, the dying, the widow, the blind, the
lame. I remember how I made a pact with my eyes
not to linger on any other woman but my wife.
I remember how I have never put my trust in riches or fame.
I have always trusted only in the Lord. Yet now people laugh at me and make fun of me.
They avoid me and even spit on me. When will God answer me?"
Dear God, please help me to
imitate Job's way of life
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
104: Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord God, how great you are. You make the clouds your chariot.
You walk on the wings of the wind. You make springs gush forth in the valleys.
They give drink to all the animals of the field. You make grass grow for the cattle
and plants to provide food for people. You give us wine to cheer our hearts
and oil to make our faces shine. You made the moon to mark the months.
The sun knows the time for its setting. How many are your works, O Lord.
In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches
and the sea is swarming with life. All things, great and small, look to you for
food.
You open your hand, they have their fill. You send forth your spirit, and life is
created.
You renew the face of the earth. I will sing to the Lord all my
life.
May my thoughts be pleasing to him.
Bless the Lord, my soul!

Acts
21.15-40:
In Jerusalem Paul gave a report to James and
other Christian leaders of all that God had done for non-Jews through his ministry.
But Paul was soon seen by Jews from where he
had traveled. He was dragged out of the Temple and beaten by a wild crowd.
The beating was stopped by a Roman captain who had Paul bound with chains. The crowd was calling out for Paul to be
killed. Paul asked for permission to speak to the
crowd and the captain agreed. Paul then spoke to the crowd in Hebrew
Jesus, please protect Christians who live in
dangerous places
Listen
Luke
21.3-38:
Jesus said to his disciples that Jerusalem
would be destroyed and its people scattered throughout the world. He also spoke of how his followers would be
persecuted, and of the end of the world: "The planets will be
shaken, nations will be in agony, bewildered by the force of the oceans.
Then they will see me coming in a cloud with great power and
glory. To prepare for your own end of earthly life,
stay faithful to prayer and goodness. Don't let your heart be coarsened by
debauchery, drunkenness and material cares". In this his final week on earth, Jesus spent
the daytime in the Temple, teaching. From early morning the people would
gather round him to listen to him. Then he would spend the night on the
Mount of Olives
Jesus, help me be faithful to prayer
and goodness

Reflection: Love can grow cold ... our hearts can be "coarsened"

Mon Jan 29
Hello again from Sao Paulo in Brazil where yesterday I had some
interesting experiences:
* I spent time on a video call with a lawyer
in India trying to help a man in prison in HK after being set up on a charge of
drug trafficking.
* As I went for a midday walk to the local
church I noticed how virtually every shop and business was closed ... No Sunday
trading here.... and I thought to myself "thank Goodness the church will be
open" ... only to find the church also was closed!
* I went for a swim in the hotel pool and
... in the pool ....met a famous retired journalist who is now going to help
with publicity for my anti-drug campaign!
On Day 34 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.
Yesterday
I watched the whole of this
talk by the late Fr Donald Cozzens about the future of the Church.
Introduction is very long, but when Fr Donald starts speaking you will be
surprised by some of the things he says ....married popes .....women deacons
....women cardinals!

Job
22-24: Eliphaz then said that God was punishing Job
because justice demanded that Job be punished for his sins. Job replied:
"I know that God sees everyone and everything.
God sees every step I take.
But I cannot contact him.
He has filled my life with sadness and fear
and yet he doesn't answer my prayer."
Dear
God, in times of darkness, with Jesus we pray "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"
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

Acts
21.1-14: Our sea voyage took us to the city of
Caesarea. A prophet there took Paul's belt and used it to tie up his own
feet and hands,
as a sign of what would happen to Paul in Jerusalem. Everyone implored Paul not to go to
Jerusalem.
Paul replied "I am ready not only to be tied up,
but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus". And so we packed up and headed for Jerusalem
Jesus, please give me a bit of Paul's courage
Listen
Luke
20.45-47: After some leaders had asked him
some trick questions,
Jesus said to his disciples "Beware of the religious leaders who like
to walk about in special clothes and love to be greeted obsequiously in
the market places.
They like the front seats in prayer halls and the places of honor at
banquets. They like making a show of lengthy prayers.
But at the same time they steal the property of widows. They will
receive a severe sentence from God at the end of their lives
Jesus, please help religious leaders be good
people

will raise up a prophet like yourself for them from their own brothers;
I will put my words into his mouth and he shall tell them all I command him.
The man who does not listen to my words that he speaks in my name, shall be
held answerable to me for it. But the prophet who presumes to say in my
name a thing I have not commanded him to say, that prophet shall die"

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

Mark
1.21-28: Jesus and
the fishermen went to the town of Capernaum. On the Sabbath Jesus began to teach
in the local prayer hall. The listeners were deeply impressed by Jesus'
teaching. Unlike the religious leaders, Jesus taught with authority. That very
day in the prayer hall there was a man possessed by an evil spirit. The
spirit shouted out "Have you come to destroy me, Jesus of Nazareth? I
know who you are: the Holy One of God." Jesus said strongly "Be quiet!
Come out of him!" The evil spirit threw the man on the ground and with a
loud cry went out of him. The people in the prayer hall were amazed. They said
"Here is a teaching which
has authority. Even evil spirits obey him." Jesus' reputation
quickly spread throughout the whole district
Jesus, Holy One of God, please protect my family from evil

Reflection on the above readings: The most respected authority is moral authority, like that of Jesus, like that of Mother Teresa, like that of St Francis of Assisi

Job
20-21: Zophar then said it was unreasonable for Job
to think that his situation was an exception as regards God's justice. Job replied:
"I can't help asking why do wicked people prosper while good people
suffer?"
Dear God, please help us to
understand the mystery of good and evil
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
20.28-38: Paul continued "You elders are the
leaders of the Church of God.
Be on your guard against bad leaders trying to mislead people. Remember my example. I never asked anyone for
money or clothes. You know how my work as a tentmaker earned enough to
support my companions and me. Remember Jesus' words There is more
happiness in giving than in receiving". When he finished speaking, he knelt down with
them and prayed. Then they took him to the ship
Jesus, please help Gospel workers imitate Paul
Listen
Luke
19.41-48: As Jesus caught sight of Jerusalem, he shed
tears over it and said "How I wish you had accepted my message of
peace. You will be totally destroyed, because you rejected God's offer of
grace". Jesus then went into the Temple and drove out
the sellers. According to the Scripture", he said, "my house
will be a house of prayer. But you have turned it into a robbers'
den". Each day Jesus taught in the Temple. The leaders wanted to
do away with him, but they didn't know how to, since most of the
ordinary people had great respect for Jesus
Jesus, please don't let me ever reject your
friendship

Hello from Sao Paulo in Brazil (the large dark green country on
the map) where I arrived yesterday afternoon after a 9 hour 40 min flight from
Johannesburg .... on a beautiful Airbus 330-300 (which has a full power plug for
each seat ....my computer was happy). And yesterday was a great day to be in Sao
Paulo since it was established (by Jesuit priests!) on Jan 25 in 1554 and named
in honour of St Paul because Jan 25 is the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul.
Sao Paulo is the world's 4th largest city by population (after Tokyo, Delhi and
Shanghai).
On the flight I watched this really powerful movie: Just Mercy

(c.f. readings for feast of Timothy and Titus)
2 Timothy 1.1-5: From
Paul, appointed by God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, to Timothy,
dear child of mine in the faith, wishing you grace, mercy and peace from God the
Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord. I
always remember your sincere faith. It came first to live in your
grandmother Lois, then in your mother Eunice, and now in yourself.
Jesus, thank you for parents who pass on the faith to their children
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
71: In
you, O Lord, I take refuge. Please hear me and help me. Be a rock where I can
take refuge. Rescue me from people who want to hurt me. It is you, O Lord, who
are my hope. In
you I have trusted since I was young. From my mother's womb you have been
my help. My hope has always been in you. Now that I am old, please do not forget
me. Now that my strength fails, do not abandon me. Now that I am old and
grey-headed, may I continue to trust in you and proclaim your help. To you I
will sing with the harp. All day long my tongue will tell of your goodness to
me.
Lord, may all elderly people put their trust and hope in you
Listen
Titus
1.1-9: From
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to
Titus, true child of mine in the faith we share, wishing you grace and
peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Saviour. The reason I left
you behind in Crete was for you to appoint elders in every town: each of them a
man of irreproachable character, married only once, not arrogant or
hot-tempered, not a heavy drinker, not out to make money. A man who is
hospitable and a friend of all that is good; sensible, devout, with a firm grasp
of the Good News, a good teacher, able to refute people who argue against sound
doctrine.
Jesus, please help all pastors be good
"elders"
Listen
Matthew
10.1-16: Many men
followed Jesus as "fishers of men", as "disciples". Jesus
chose 12 of them and called them "apostles": Peter and
his brother Andrew;
Zebedees' sons James and John;
Philip and Bartholomew;
Thomas and Matthew;
James son
of Alphaeus;
Thaddaeus, Simon and Judas.
Jesus sent them to prepare
his way by visiting the places he would go. He gave them power to cast out evil
spirits and to heal all kinds of sicknesses. He said to them: Proclaim that the
kingdom of heaven is near. Cure the sick. Raise the dead. Cleanse lepers. Cast
out devils.
Jesus, please help all Christians to be apostles and fishers of people

Acts
9.1-19: Paul kept up
his campaign against the Lord's disciples. He got the ok to arrest followers of
the Way in Damascus. But on his way to Damascus, a light from heaven surrounded
him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying "Paul, Paul, why are
you persecuting me?" He said "Who are you, Lord?" The voice
replied "I am Jesus, and
you are persecuting me. Go into Damascus and you will be told what to
do". Paul's eyes were open, but for more than a day he was without his
sight, and he ate and drank nothing. The Lord got Ananias, a disciple in
Damascus, to visit Paul and pray for him. The Lord said to Ananias "Paul
is my chosen instrument to bring my name to non-Jews and Jews. He will suffer
much for me". Ananias went to Paul and prayed for him
with the laying on of hands. Straight away, Paul could see again. Then Ananias
baptized him.
Jesus, please help me understand how
unkindness to others is unkindness to you

Mark
16.9-20: After he
rose from the dead, Jesus appeared first to Mary of Magdala, from whom he had
cast out 7 devils. Next he appeared to two of his disciples while they
were on a journey. Then he appeared to the 11 apostles. He said to them "Go
everywhere in the world. Proclaim the Good News to all creation. Anyone who
believes and is baptized, will be saved. Anyone who refuses to believe, will be
condemned. These are the signs that will be associated with believers: in my
name they
will cast out devils, they
will have the gift of tongues, they
will pick up snakes in their hands, they will be unharmed if they drink
poison, they will lay their
hands on the sick, who will be healed". And so, the Lord Jesus,
after he had spoken to them, was taken up to heaven, while they, going out,
preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming their message by
the miracles that accompanied the message
Lord Jesus, may more and more people all over the world believe in you

Luke 19.28-40: When Jesus came near to Jerusalem, he
sent two disciples to a nearby village to get a donkey colt which no one
had ever ridden. Jesus sat on the colt and began the descent
from the Mount of Olives down the hill to Jerusalem. The disciples spread their clothes on
the road,
and joyfully praised God for all the miracles they had seen. They cried
out "Blessings on the King who comes in
the name of the Lord!" Some religious leaders told Jesus to stop the
disciples from calling out. Jesus replied "If these keep silence, the
stones will cry out"
Jesus, you who came in the name of the Lord,
we praise and love you
