Readings are from
Simple Bible
Isaiah
56: Foreigners who love and serve the Lord
- these I will bring to my holy mountain, says the Lord. I will make them joyful in my
house of prayer,
for my house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations. Lord, please help all peoples
of the world
know that you are their loving Creator
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
79-80: O God, the nations have invaded your sacred
land,
they have profaned your holy temple.
They have made Jerusalem a heap of ruins. We have become the taunt of our neighbours,
the mockery and scorn of those who surround us. How long, O Lord, will all this last?
How long will this sorrow keep going? Do not hold the guilt of our ancestors against
us.
If their guilt is somehow influencing our situation now
please give peace and healing to everyone and everything
in our history. Let the groans of the prisoners come before
you. Let your strong arm reprieve those condemned to die. O Lord, our God, help us and save us.
Let your face shine on us and we shall be saved.
Lord, please heal any problems
in my family tree
Listen
Galatians
6.14-18: As for me, the only thing I boast about is the
Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world is crucified to me,
and I to the world. It does not matter if a person is circumcised
or not.
What matters is that we become a new creature. From now on, I want no more trouble from you.
The scars on my body were suffered for the sake of Jesus. May his grace be with you
Jesus, may I look at everything in the world
from up on your Cross
Listen
Matthew
6.1-15: Jesus said to the crowds: When you do a good deed,
do it for its own sake, not just to get people to praise you. When you pray, love to pray in private in your
heart.
Don't be looking for people to notice and praise you. When you pray, there's no need to rave on and
on.
God is not deaf. Prayer is not a lawyer arguing a case.
Prayer is a child speaking with simple trust like this:
Our Father in heaven,
may everyone love and honor you.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Thank you for enough food for today.
Forgive us as we forgive others.
Save us in time of trial.
Protect us from evil
Jesus, help me remember
that each time I pray "The Our Father",
you are praying with me. "Your Father = my Father = our
Father"
Listen
Reflection: Today's first reading and Gospel are about prayer ... public and private

Readings are from
Simple Bible
Isaiah
54-55: Though the mountains may fall and the hills
turn to dust,
the love of the Lord will never cease. O come to the water, all you are
thirsty,
though you have no money, come. Why spend your money on what is
useless,
your wages on what fails to satisfy? Seek the Lord while he is to be
found.
Call to him while he is near.
Lord, please help us give
more time to things that are important
....and less time to things that are not so important
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
78: Listen, everyone, to my teaching.
I will recount the lessons of our history. The things our parents have told us,
we will not hide from our children,
but will pass them on to the next generation. We want the next generation to know all that the Lord has done for us in the past.
May the next generation in turn
pass on this knowledge to their own children,
so that they too will put their hope in God
and never forget all that God has done for us. May future generations not be like our
ancestors
who so often were unfaithful to God. Even though our ancestors had seen God part
the sea,
even though they had seen him provide food and water for them
in the desert, still they went on sinning. Yet he who is full of compassion forgave and
spared them.
He remembered they were only weak humans. Eventually he brought them to the promised
land
and gave a home to each of Israel's tribes. But still they sinned by building mountain
shrines
and serving idols. Then God raised up David to be their
leader. God called him from looking after sheep to be the shepherd of his people.
Lord, help us not to forget all
you have done for us

Galatians
6.7-9: God cannot be cheated. Where we sow is where
we will reap. If we sow in the field of self-indulgence, we
will get a harvest of corruption. If we sow in the field of the Spirit, we will
get a harvest of eternal life. Never tire of doing good
Jesus,
help me sow in the field of the Spirit
by doing good
Listen
Matthew
5.13-48: Jesus said to the crowds:
You are the salt of the
earth.
But if salt loses its taste, it's no use for anything. You are the light of
the world.
Let the world see your light, your good deeds.
When people see you doing good deeds,
people will praise God. I have not come to
abolish the Jewish religion. I have come to raise it to a higher level of
goodness. Your goodness must not
just be something superficial.
Your goodness must be something from the heart. You must avoid anger
and insult, just like you avoid murder.
If you have offended someone, say "Sorry". You must avoid lustful
looks and thoughts.
Looking at someone lustfully is immorality of the heart. Love and pray for
people who are unkind to you.
This is the way to practise the highest level of goodness.
Jesus, please help me
practise a higher level of goodness
Listen
Reflection: Every day we must try to "do better" (... a higher level of goodness) ...because the moment we stop trying to improve we will drop to a lower level of goodness

c.f. readings for Trinity Sunday
Deuteronomy
2-4: Moses
continued his talk to the Israelites: "God has been with us these 40 years,
watching over us and providing for us. God gave us many victories and
continually told us not to be afraid of any enemies. So now, Israel, do not
forget God's goodness and help and laws. Do not forget the things your eyes have
seen. Make sure to tell these things to your children's children. God has
brought you out of Egypt to be his special people. If you seek God with all your
heart and soul you will find him. Understand
this today, therefore, and take it to heart: The Lord is God indeed, in
heaven above as on earth below, he and no other. Keep his laws and commandments
as I give them to you today, so that you and your children may prosper and live
long in the land that the Lord your God gives you forever."
Lord, please help me
to seek you with all my heart
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
33: Ring out your joy to the
Lord, all good people, for praise is fitting for loyal hearts. For the Lord
loves justice and right; he fills the earth with his love. By his word the
heavens were made, he
spoke and the universe came into being. They are happy, whose God is the
Lord, he is the source of all true joy. May your love be upon us, O Lord, since
we place all our trust in you.
Lord, we trust in your precious love
Listen
Romans
8.14-21: Everyone
moved by the Spirit is a child of God. The Spirit lets us use children's
language to speak to God tenderly as "Abba, Father". Since we
are God's children, we are also his heirs, coheirs with Jesus, sharing his
suffering so as to share his glory. What we suffer in this life can never be
compared with the glorious life we will have in heaven. The whole of creation
looks forward to sharing the same glory, to sharing immortality.
Abba, Father, may everyone love and honor you. Help everyone get to heaven
Listen
Matthew
28.16-20: The 11 apostles went to Galilee,
to the mountain where Jesus had arranged to meet them. When they saw him they
fell down before him in worship. Jesus said to them "All authority in
heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of
all the nations. Baptize
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Teach them to understand and live according to my words. And know that I am with
you always, yes, to the end of time".
Jesus, "God-with-us", please help us
live our lives according to your teaching ....and thank you, Matthew, for this
beautiful Gospel Report

Simple Bible
Isaiah
52-53: See, my servant will prosper,
he shall be lifted up and exalted. As the crowds were appalled on
seeing him
- so disfigured did he look -
so will the crowds be astonished at him,
for they will see something that has never happened before. Without beauty, without
majesty, we saw him.
He was despised and rejected,
a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering.
He was despised and we took no account of him. And yet ours were the sufferings
he bore,
ours the sorrows he carried. He was pierced through for our
faults,
crushed for our sins. On him lies a punishment that
brings us peace,
and through his wounds we are healed. We had all gone astray like
sheep,
and the Lord burdened him with our sins. Harshly dealt with, he bore it
humbly,
never opening his mouth. He let himself be taken for a
sinner,
and all the time he was suffering and praying for sinners.
Jesus, these words refer to
you.
Thank you for all you suffered to redeem the world
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
73-77: Sometimes when I see how bad people prosper,
I wonder what's the use in trying to be good?
But then I realize that
everyone someday has to pay the bill
for any evil they have bought in the world. Sometimes when I see
our world and religion in ruins,
I wonder why has God abandoned us? Then I remember that
God has promised to break the power
of the wicked. He has promised to give strength to good
people. So may all people honor
the Lord our God and judge.
May the Lord give us his loving help.
Lord,
you are goodness itself. Please help us to be good
and to trust you always
Listen
Galatians
5.19-26: When self-indulgence is at work, the results
are obvious: sexual irresponsibility, sorcery, feuds and wrangling,
jealousy and drunkenness. What the Spirit brings is very different:
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, truthfulness, gentleness
and self-control. You cannot belong to Christ Jesus unless you
crucify all self-indulgent desires. Let us be directed by the
Spirit. We must stop
being conceited, provocative and envious
Holy Spirit, increase your influence in
my life
Listen
Matthew
5.1-12: Jesus said to the crowds:
Blessed are poor and simple of heart
people.
They belong to the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are people who are going through great
sorrow.
Their hearts will be filled with peace. Blessed are people who lead just and honest
lives.
They will see the victory of goodness. Blessed are people who show mercy to
others.
God will be merciful to them. Blessed are people who have a clean
heart.
They will see God. Blessed are people who are
peacemakers.
They are God's children.
Blessed are people who are persecuted for the cause of right.
They will receive a great reward in heaven.
Jesus, please help me be
merciful and kind and just

Genesis
3: A
creature hostile to God took the form of a snake and tempted the first man and
first woman. The snake tempted them to disobey God. When God asked them why they
disobeyed him, the man blamed the woman, and the woman blamed the snake. God
said to the snake: "You are the enemy of the human race. Someday
a member of the human race will defeat you." God said to the man and
woman: "From dust you came and to dust you will return." The first
man's name was Adam (meaning "man"). The first woman's name was Eve
(meaning "life").
Dear God, please help me understand how evil
in the world started
when Adam and Eve disobeyed you
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
Listen
Ephesians
3.14-21: This is what I
pray, kneeling before the Father from whom every family, whether spiritual or
natural, takes it name: May he give you power through his Spirit for your
hidden self to grow strong. May Christ live in your hearts through faith.
Planted in love and built on love, may
you continually focus on the love of Christ, until your life is filled
with that love
Glory be to him whose power working in us, can do infinitely more than we can
ask or imagine. Glory be to him from generation to generation in the Church and
in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen
Listen
John
19.25-30: Near the
cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary Magdalene. Seeing his mother and John the apostle standing near her, Jesus
said to his mother "He is your son". Then to John he said "She is
your mother". From that moment, John regarded Mary as his own
mother. Jesus said "My work is finished". Then he bowed his head and
died
We adore you Lord Jesus and we praise you, because you have
redeemed the world
Listen
Reflection: Mary's spiritual motherhood was publicly announced by Jesus from the Cross ... John being the representative of all peoples

Isaiah 51-52:
Pay attention to me, you peoples.
Listen to me, you nations. The islands put their hope in the
Lord.
They put their trust in his strength. How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of one who brings good news,
who proclaims peace and salvation,
and tells Zion "Your God is king!" Break into shouts of joy, you
ruins of Jerusalem,
for the Lord is redeeming his people. All the ends of the earth
shall see the salvation of our God.
Lord, may more and more people
in more and more countries
know you and love you.
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
72: O Lord, please bless the king,
that he might serve your people with justice. May the mountains bring forth peace for the
people
and the hills, justice. The kings of Sheba and Seba bring him gifts.
All nations will serve him. He will save the poor when they cry for help
and the needy who are helpless. He will have pity on the weak
and save the lives of the poor. May every tribe be blessed in him.
May every nation bless his name.
May all the nations know and
love you, Lord

Galatians
5.13-15: Serve one another in works of love, since the

Jesus, help me avoid unfair/unnecessary
criticism of other people
Listen
Matthew 4.12-25:
After his time in the desert,
Jesus began preaching the same message as John the Baptist:
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is close at hand". Jesus called four fishermen to become
"fishers of men":
Peter and his brother Andrew, James and his brother John.
They left their boats and went with Jesus.
Jesus went all round the area of Galilee,
preaching in local prayer halls
and healing all kinds of sick people. News
spread about the sick being healed,
and soon even people from distant places came to Jesus to be healed.
Jesus, please heal the people I
know who are sick: (...names...)
Listen
Reflection: Healing the sick was part of Jesus' ministry from the beginning ... and should be a normal part of all Christian ministry

Isaiah 50: The Lord has opened my ear to hear his
message.
The Lord has given me words to proclaim his message. For my part, I made no
resistance,
neither did I turn away.
I offered my back to those who struck me,
my cheeks to those who tore at my beard. I did not protect my face
from insult and spittle. I set my face like flint.
The Lord will help me.
Jesus, please help me understand
how these words refer to you
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

Galatians
5.1-6: When Christ freed us, he meant us to remain
free.
Stand firm then and do not return to a life of slavery to Jewish Law. As a Christian, it doesn't matter if you are

What matters is faith that is put into loving action
Jesus, help people whose lives are being
damaged by unreasonable religious laws
Listen
Matthew 4.1-11: After he was baptized,
Jesus spent about 40 days praying and fasting in the
desert.
During this time, he was tempted by Satan. "If you are the Son of God,
change some stones into bread" said Satan. Jesus replied "Human life needs more than
bread.
Life needs God's message". Satan then took Jesus to a high place
and said
"Throw yourself down, since the angels will protect you". Jesus replied
"Presumption is a sin". Then Satan took Jesus to a high mountain
and showed him all the nations of the world. "Worship me and I will give you all these
nations" said Satan. Jesus replied
"Go away, Satan! Only God is to be worshipped". The devil then went away.
Jesus, please protect us from
Satan and from evil
Listen
Reflection: When Jesus taught us "The Our Father" he spoke from experience when he told us to pray for protection in time of temptation
