Hello
from St Paul's Retreat Centre in Sheung Shui where I am attending the monthly
O.M.I. meeting. I arrived yesterday afternoon after spending 4 hours at nearby
Lo Wu women's prison. Today after the meeting ends at lunch time I hope to go
back to Lo Wu for a few more hours. Yesterday I met several prospective
candidates for working at MercyHK's canteen in Temple Street (which employ only
ex-inmates!) and I also saw some some women who received a 3 month reduction of
sentence after taking part in Voice For Prisoners anti-drug campaign

Jeremiah
36: God told Jeremiah to write down
all the messages he had spoken for God. So Jeremiah got Baruch to make a written record of all his messages.
Baruch wrote the messages on a scroll. Some good officials took the scroll to the king to read.
The officials hoped the king would obey the words of the scroll. The king had the scroll read aloud for him.
As each section was read, the king used a knife to cut off the section,
and then threw the section into a fire. Eventually the whole scroll was burnt.
The king then issued an order for Jeremiah to be arrested. God protected Jeremiah and did not allow him to be arrested for the
time being.
God also told Jeremiah to have another scroll made.
Lord, please move world
leaders' hearts
to be open to your message of justice and peace and love
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
Listen
Philippians
2.5-11: O Lord, unite us in your love
and keep our minds in you. O Lord, unite us in your love
and keep our minds in you.
Though you were God in state divine you did not cling to what you were. No, you
shed your glory's shine so as to live just like a slave.
O Lord, unite us in your love and keep our minds in you.
You came on earth in human form
and you shared our troubled life. A humbler man there never was,
even in death obedient
Yes, Lord, death upon a cross,
yes, upon a cross
Therefore are you raised on high
and you have the name of names.
At that name should bend the knee
and tongue confess: Jesus Christ is LORD.
And tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD.
And tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD.
To the glory of God the Father
Listen to this reading as a song
Matthew
12.46-50: One day when Jesus was speaking to a crowd of
people inside a house,
his mother and brothers arrived at the house. From outside the house they sent a message to
say
they would like to speak with him. When Jesus heard they were there, he said
"Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" Then holding out his hand towards his
disciples he said
"Here are my mother and brothers.
Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven,
that person is my brother and sister and mother."
Brother Jesus, please
help me do the will of your Father in heaven
Listen
Reflection: If anyone asks "Do you have brothers and sisters?" ...we need to remember one special Brother!

Isaiah
46-49: The Lord called me before I
was born. From
my mother's womb he knew my name. While I was thinking that I had toiled
in vain, all the while my cause was with the Lord. The Lord who formed me in the
womb and assigned me to rescue his people, that same Lord said to me: 'I
will make you the light of the nations, so that my salvation will reach to the
ends of the earth'. The Lord also says to his people: "Does a woman forget
her baby, or a mother the child within her womb? Yet even if these forget, I
will never forget you".
Lord, please help me understand how you loved me even before I was born.
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
139: O Lord, you search me and
you know me. You know my resting and my rising. You know exactly what's going on
in my life, all my ways are an open book to you. Before ever a word is on my
tongue, you know, O Lord, what I'm going to say. Your knowledge is beyond my
understanding, too high, beyond my reach. It
was you who created my being, knit me together in my mother's womb. I
thank you for the wonder of my life, for the wonders of all your creation.
Lord, thank you for the gift of life. Please help me follow the path to
eternal life
Listen
Luke
1.67-80: When John was named, his father
Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and said "Blessed be the Lord,
the God of Israel. He has visited his people. And you, little child, you shall
be called a prophet of the Most High. You
will go before the Lord to prepare a way for him". When John grew
older, he lived in the wilderness until the time came for him to begin his
ministry.
Jesus, please help me prepare your way by helping people to know you
Listen
Reflection on the above readings: Why June 24 for John the Baptist? Because Jesus was conceived in the 6th month of Elizabeth's pregnancy .... so John was born 6 months (approximately) before Jesus ... and 6 months before Dec 25 is June 24. Let's think of the baby Baptist if we happen to see any babies today!

c.f. readings for Sunday 12
Job 38: 1, 8-11: From the heart of the tempest the Lord gave Job his answer. He said: "Who pent up the sea behind closed doors when it leapt tumultuous out of the womb; when I wrapped it in a robe of mist and made black clouds its swaddling bands; when I marked the bounds it was not to cross, and made it fast with a bolted gate? Come thus far, I said, and no farther: here your proud waves shall break"
Lord,
the sea belongs to you, for you made it
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 107: Some sailed to the sea in ships to trade on the mighty waters. These men have seen the Lord’s deeds, the wonders he does in the deep. For he spoke; he summoned the gale, tossing the waves of the sea up to heaven and back into the deep; their souls melted away in their distress. Then they cried to the Lord in their need, and he rescued them from their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper. All the waves of the sea were hushed
Thank
you Lord, for your rescuing love

Corinthians 5.14-19: The
love of Christ is like a
tsunami. It overwhelms
us and sweeps us away when
we remember how Jesus died for everyone. God,
through Christ, has repaired his friendship with humanity. We must spread the
news of this reconciliation
"And when I think, that God his Son not sparing, sent him to die, I
scarce can take it in"

How
Great Thou Art

Mark
4.35-41: Jesus
and his disciples got into a boat to cross the lake. Jesus was so tired that he
went to sleep in the boat. A sudden storm caused big waves to lash the boat.
Jesus' friends woke him up and said "Save us, Lord, we are
sinking". Jesus stood up, and ordered the wind and sea to be calm. Straight
away the wind and sea were calm. Jesus' friends said to each other
"Who is this? Even the
wind and sea obey him."
Jesus, please calm the storms in my life, my family, our world

Jeremiah
33-35: Most of the people and their leaders ignored God's message
delivered by Jeremiah. But one group listened to Jeremiah and obeyed God's message:
that group was the nomad clan of Rechabites. At God's command Jeremiah invited them to a meal near the
Temple
and invited them to drink wine. But they replied that they had been told by God
never to own property or build houses or be farmers or drink wine. Jeremiah then spoke to the people watching the
Rechabites:
"See how this clan is obedient to the message of the Lord,
unlike most of the people and its leaders who ignore God. Because this clan has been faithful and obedient,
therefore it will always be blessed by the Lord".
Lord, please help me be
faithful to you, like the Rechabites
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
101: My song is of mercy and justice.
I sing to you, O Lord. I will try to walk with blameless
heart.
I will try to give my attention to what is good, not what is bad. People who slander others,
people of proud
looks,
these will not be my friends.
People who are good and do good,
these will be my friends.
Dear Lord, please help me to
avoid bad company
Listen
Philippians
1.27-2.4: Avoid anything in your
everyday lives that would be unworthy of the Good News of Christ. Be united in your
convictions, and united in your love.
There must be no competition among you, no conceit. Everyone should be
self-effacing.
Always regard others as better than yourself. Put others interests
before your own
Jesus, help me say
"no" to anything unworthy of your Good News
Listen
Matthew
12.9-14: On another Sabbath Jesus visited a
prayer hall.
A man with a withered hand was in the hall. Some religious leaders asked Jesus, to trap
him,
"Is it lawful to heal a man on the Sabbath day?"
(The leaders taught that no "work" could be done on the
Sabbath). Jesus replied:
"If one of your sheep fell down a hole on the Sabbath,
wouldn't you lift it out?
A man is more important than a sheep.
Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." Then Jesus said to the man with the withered
hand
"Stretch out your hand".
He stretched it out. It was healed. The religious leaders left the prayer hall
and began plotting how to get rid of Jesus.
Jesus, please stop bad
religious leaders from misleading people
Listen
Reflection: At every time and place of "godlessness" in world history, there is usually a small group of faithful people ... like the Rechabites in today's first reading ... like Noah and family in the Book of Genesis

A
new documentary "Fault lines, the night won't end - Biden's war on Gaza -
Part 2" has compelling details about Biden's complicity in Israel's Gaza
genocide. I saw the program two days ago, but can't find a link to it now. I
will try to find link in the next few days.
In my 51 years as a priest, and in my 20 or so years of making
websites, there is a term I have never once used in my sermons or posts. That
term came to mind a few nights ago when I thought about how outright lies are
increasingly being propagated by certain world figures and certain international
media. Such personified/institutionalised lying brings to mind a terrible figure
in the last book of the Bible ... the
Anti-Christ ... a servant of The
Father of Lies (Satan). When most statements that come out of a person's
mouth or from a media outlet are lies, that person/media is doing Anti-Christ
work. Then I Googled "one particular person's name and anti-christ"
and found many
articles about this very idea.
Every Tuesday morning during breakfast I watch a 15 min program
from Australia (shown live on TV on Monday night). This program exposes
dishonesty and lies in the Australian media: Media

Jeremiah 32: Jerusalem was about to be captured by the
Chaldaeans.
But God promised that Jerusalem would recover its freedom. As a sign that Jerusalem would be free again,
God told Jeremiah to buy a field. People thought Jeremiah was crazy.
But through this action Jeremiah delivered God's message: This city and this land are now a waste,
but soon people will again buy land and build homes
in freedom and safety.
Lord, when things get really
bad, please increase our trust in you
that you will turn things around in our lives
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
100: Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing for joy. Know that he, the Lord, is God. He made us, we
belong to him.
We are his people, the sheep of his flock. Go within his gates, giving thanks.
Enter his temple with songs of praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name. Indeed, how good is the Lord,
eternal his merciful love.
He is faithful from age to age.
Dear Lord, please help us to
serve you with gladness
Listen
Philippians
1.13-25: My chains have become famous and have given
courage to many other believers. Many others are now becoming more daring
in announcing the Message without fear. I hope and trust that I will always have
courage for Christ to be glorified in my body, whether by my life or by my
death. My heart wants to go
two ways. One part wants to depart this world and live for ever with
Christ in heaven. The other part wants to stay in this world to help more
people to know the Lord
Jesus, give me courage in
spreading the Good News
Listen
Matthew
12.1-8: One Sabbath day Jesus and his disciples were walking through a
cornfield. The disciples were hungry.
They picked some ears of corn and ate them. Picking corn on the Sabbath was regarded as unlawful by the
Pharisees. So the Pharisees said to Jesus
"Your disciples are breaking the Sabbath law". Jesus replied
"Don't you remember what David and his followers once did when
they were hungry? They ate the Temple bread which only the priests were
allowed to eat. Go and learn the meaning of these words
'What I want is mercy, not superficial external offerings'. I am Master of the
Sabbath."
Jesus,
Master of the Sabbath, please help
me understand that love is more important than law
Listen
Reflection: "I am Master of the Sabbath" is at least a very strong hint that Jesus is claiming to be God

they will agree to go to a drug treatment centre for a 6 month holiday to end at
Christmas!

to avoid what is bad

Come to me,
all you who are treated unfairly by unjust religious laws.
I will give you peace and justice. Learn from me, and you will know peace,
for I am gentle and humble of heart.

are suffering from unjust religious laws

Jeremiah 24-29:
For 23 years Jeremiah spoke the message of the Lord,
calling on people to do good and turn away from evil. But the people, especially the leaders, refused to listen to
Jeremiah.
They eventually arrested Jeremiah and planned to kill him. Jeremiah also sent a message to the exiles in Babylon.
But they too refused his message.
Lord, please give me some of
Jeremiah's courage and faith
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

Ephesians

Jesus, help me to put Paul's teaching into practice in my life
Listen
Matthew 11.1-19:
John the Baptist sent some of his friends to
ask Jesus
"Are you the promised Anointed One?"
Jesus replied
"Tell John what you hear and see:
blind people see, lame people walk, lepers are healed". Jesus also said to the people around him
how neither John nor himself could please the religious leaders. "For John
always fasted and
never drank wine,
and people said he was possessed. I eat well and I drink wine
and people call me a glutton and a drunkard."
Jesus, please help me be
someone who is easy to live with,
someone who is not hard to please
Listen
Reflection: Jesus has many names (Messiah, Emmanuel, Lord, Saviour, The Way, Son of David etc) but a powerful job description of Jesus is in today's Gospel: "blind people see, lame people walk, lepers are healed"!
