Samuel 3: One day when the boy Samuel was serving in the
temple,
the Lord called to him "Samuel, Samuel."
The boy thought it was the old priest Eli calling to him
so he ran to Eli and said "Here I am." Eli replied "I did not call you."
Two more times the Lord called.
Both times the boy went to Eli. Eli now realized it was the Lord calling
Samuel.
Eli told Samuel to say "Speak Lord, your servant is listening"
the next time he heard the voice. The Lord told Samuel that Eli's family would
be punished
for the bad things they had done. The people quickly found out that the Lord was
with Samuel
and that Samuel was the Lord's prophet.
Dear Lord, please
help me to listen to your voice,
your voice in the Bible, in my conscience and in other people
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
Acts 17.29-34: Paul continued speaking to the intellectuals:
"We have no excuse for thinking that the Creator looks like something
carved in gold, silver or stone. God overlooked that sort of thing when we were
ignorant. But now he is telling everyone to repent and believe in Jesus raised from the dead".
Some intellectuals laughed at Paul. A few
became believers
Jesus, please give intellectuals the humility
to believe in you
Listen
Luke
22.39-46: After the Passover meal, Jesus and his
disciples went to the Mount of Olives. Jesus said to them
"Pray for protection in time of trial". Then he went apart by himself, about 40 meters
away, knelt down and prayed "Father, save me from this time of
trial. But let your will, not mine, be done". An angel from heaven appeared to him to give
him strength. His agony was so great that his sweat became drops of blood
falling to the ground. When he got up and went to the disciples, he
found them sleeping - so overcome were they with sorrow
Jesus, please help me to pray "not my
will, but yours be done"

Samuel 2: Hannah
praised God for giving her a child:
"My heart rejoices in the Lord.
The Lord, our fortress, is holy. Don't
speak proudly,
for the Lord knows what's in our hearts. The
Lord breaks the power of the strong.
He gives strength and victory to the weak.
He blesses the barren woman. The
Lord raises the poor from the dust,
and gives them a seat of honor with princes. The
Lord guards the steps of good people,
but scatters bad people in their pride." The
Lord blessed Hannah
and she gave birth to three more sons and two daughters. Her
son Samuel grew up in the temple.
The temple priest at that time was Eli. But
Eli's sons were bad men.
They stole the people's offerings to the Lord.
Dear God, please bless good
people like Hannah,
and please help bad people like Eli's sons to stop being bad
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

Acts 17.16-28: In Athens, Paul was sad see so much idol worship.
Each day he talked to as many people as he could about Jesus. He was invited to a meeting of intellectuals. He said to them
"The Creator of the world does not make his home in shrines made by
human hands. He wants everyone to know him as the living God.
It is in him that we live and move and have life"
In its mother's womb, a baby lives and moves
and has life. The universe is like a giant womb, God's womb, in which we
live and move and have life. Jesus, please help me understand Paul's words
Luke
22.31-34: Jesus said to the apostle Peter "Satan
has got his wish to attack you. But I have prayed for you, that your faith
may not fail. Once you have recovered from Satan's attack, you in your
turn must give strength to others". Peter said "Lord, I am ready to go to
prison with you and to die with you". Jesus replied "Peter, before the rooster
crows, you will deny three times that you know me"
Jesus, please strengthen my faith. Please
strengthen my faith

c.f. readings for Lent 1
Deuteronomy
26: Moses'
teaching: "When you enter the land the Lord your God is
giving you, you must take the first-fruits of your produce to the priest then in
office and say 'Today I declare to the Lord my God that I have come to the land
the Lord swore to our fathers he would give us.'
After the priest receives your offering, you must declare: 'My father was a
wandering Aramaean. He went down to Egypt to find refuge there, few in number.
But then he became a nation, great and strong. The Egyptians ill-treated us,
they gave us no peace and inflicted harsh slavery on us. But we called on the
Lord our God who heard our voice and saw our misery, toil and oppression. The
Lord our God then brought us out of Egypt with mighty hand and outstretched arm,
with signs and wonders. He brought us here and gave us this land, a land where
milk and honey flow. So I now bring the
first-fruits of my produce that you, Lord, have given me'. You are then
to share these gifts with your household
and with the Levite and stranger who live among you."
Dear Lord, help me to show gratitude for all your gifts, by sharing
what I have with those less fortunate than I
01 02
Psalm
91: He who dwells in the shelter
of the Most High says to the Lord "you are my refuge in whom I trust".
The Lord will hide you and protect you. Under his wings you will find refuge.
You will not fear any night time terror, nor any attack during the day. Upon you
no evil shall fall, no plague approach where you dwell. For
you has he commanded his angels to keep you safe in all your ways.
Dear God, thank you for your protection day and night

Romans
10-11: If
your lips confess that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. How wonderful is God!
How great his wisdom and knowledge. What finite creature could ever understand
the mind of our infinite Creator? All
that exists comes from him. To him be glory for ever!
Jesus, Father, Spirit - three persons, one God - to you be glory for ever!
Listen
Luke
4.1-13: Filled with the
Holy Spirit, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. For 40 days he ate
nothing, and was tempted by the Devil. The Devil said "If you are the Son
of God, turn a stone into bread". Jesus replied "Scripture says we do
not live on bread alone". The Devil took him to a high place and showed him
all the kingdoms of the world. "Worship me and they will all be yours"
he said. Jesus replied "Scripture
says we must worship only God". Then the Devil took him to the top
of the Temple in Jerusalem and said "If you are the Son of God, throw
yourself down and let the angels protect you". Jesus
replied "Scripture says we must not put the Lord our God to the test".
The Devil then left him
Jesus, protect us from the Devil and
all evil

Samuel 1: Each
year, Elkanah and his two wives Hannah and Peninnah, went to Shiloh
to worship the Lord.
Peninnah
had children, but Hannah was barren.
Each year at the temple,
Peninnah would taunt Hannah because she was barren. One
year at the temple, Hannah prayed in great distress:
"God, if you give me a child, I will dedicate him to you".
Not
long after, Hannah conceived a son whom she called "Samuel".
When Samuel was weaned, she took him to the temple
and gave him to the priest there to serve the Lord
for the rest of his life.
Dear God, please bless all
women who are unable to have a baby
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
Acts
17.10-12: That night Paul and Silas left for the town
of Beroea. At the local prayer hall, the Jews were very open-minded and
they warmly welcomed the word of the Lord. Every day they studied the Scriptures to check
that Paul's words were true. Many Jews and many non-Jewish people became
believers
Jesus, please help people be open-minded when
hearing your message
Listen
Luke
22.12-20: On the evening of the Passover feast, Jesus and his apostles ate the
Passover Lamb in a large upper room furnished with couches. While they were having the meal, Jesus took some bread, and when he
had given thanks, broke it and gave it to his apostles saying: "This
is my body. Do this in memory of me".
Then he took a cup of wine and said "This cup is the new
covenant
in my blood which will be poured out for you"

Ruth 3-4: Naomi told Ruth to go to the threshing
shed of Boaz
and to sleep there at the feet of Boaz,
this action symbolizing her wish to marry Boaz. When Boaz discovered Ruth there during
the night,
he praised Ruth for wanting to continue Elimelech's family. The next day, Boaz went to the gate of
Bethlehem
and met the only man who preceded him
in the legal right to marry Ruth. The man agreed to let Boaz marry Ruth
and so Boaz took Ruth as his wife. Boaz and Ruth had a son,
Obed.
Obed was the father of Jesse whose son was King David.
Dear
God, please bless
all grandparents,
as you blessed David's great grandparents Ruth and Boaz
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

Acts 17.1-9:
Paul and his friends next went to the town of
Thessalonika. On three Sabbaths, Paul spoke at the local prayer hall,
explaining how Jesus is the Anointed One. Some Jewish listeners and many non-Jewish people
became believers.
But the religious leaders, out of jealousy, stirred up a gang from the
market place. The gang dragged some believers to the city
council. The leaders shouted "The people who have been turning
the whole world upside down, have come to our town. They claim there is
another emperor, Jesus". The believers were eventually allowed to go on
bail
Jesus, please don't let jealous people stop
anyone from becoming a Christian
Listen
Luke
22.1-6: Big crowds were in Jerusalem for the feast of
the Passover which was only a few days away. The
religious leaders were afraid that the crowds would prevent them
from killing Jesus. But then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot who
was one of the 12 apostles. Judas went to the leaders to plan how to
capture Jesus. The leaders agreed to give Judas some money for his
help. Judas then began looking for an opportunity to
betray Jesus at a time when there were no crowds around
Jesus, please protect me from Satan's
influence, and from any sort of pride that might make me want to abandon
your friendship

Ruth 2:
Naomi and Ruth arrived
in Bethlehem at the time of the barley harvest. Ruth went to the fields
to look for left-over ears of corn.
She came to the attention of Boaz, Elimelech's clansman. Boaz was a kind man and
he told the men harvesting his crop
to let Ruth take some sheaves of corn, not just left-overs.
As one of Naomi's closest relatives,
Boaz was in a group of several men from which one man was
required by law to marry Ruth and produce children for Elimelech
Lord,

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

Acts
16.25-37: Late that night in prison, Paul and Silas were
praying and singing God's praises, while the other prisoners listened to
them. Suddenly there was an earthquake that shook
the prison.
All the doors opened, and the chains fell from all the prisoners. The main jailer drew his sword and was about
to kill himself,
thinking the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted to him "Don't hurt
yourself. We are all still here". Trembling, the jailer threw himself at the
feet of Paul and Silas. Then he escorted them out of the prison asking
"What must I do to be saved?" They said "Become a believer in the
Lord Jesus, and both you and your household will be saved". They explained the word of God to him and his
family. He washed their wounds and then they "washed his wounds"
by baptizing him and all his household. They had a meal together in the
jailer's home, to celebrate the family's conversion to belief in God
Jesus, let more people know the joy of
conversion

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

Joel
1-4: My
country has been invaded. Joy has disappeared from the land. Priests, put on
sackcloth and lament. Proclaim
a fast to pray for our nation. Turn to the Lord your God again, for he is
all tenderness and compassion. Call out to the Lord for help. "Spare your
people, Lord!" The Lord replies: "I will save and rescue you. I will
pour out my spirit on all peoples. Every one will prophesy and see visions. You
will learn that I am the Lord your God. Jerusalem will be a holy place."
Lord, let our land be filled with knowledge of you and love for you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
51: Have
mercy on me, God, in your kindness, and cleanse me of my sin. My offences
truly I know them. What is evil in your sight I have done. But in my defence
please don't forget that sinfulness is part of the human condition, part of our
DNA. A pure heart create for me, O God. Put a steadfast spirit within me. Give
me again the joy of your help. With a spirit of fervor sustain me.
Lord, you will not spurn a humbled, contrite heart

Cor 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"
- from the song "How Great Thou Art"
Recording
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"
