c.f. Readings for Birthday of John the Baptist

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

 

Acts 13: Paul said: God deposed Saul and made David their king, of whom he approved in these words, "I have selected David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will carry out my whole purpose." To keep his promise, God has raised up for Israel one of David's descendants, Jesus, as Saviour, whose coming was heralded by John when he proclaimed a baptism of repentance for the whole people of Israel. Before John ended his career he said, "I am not the one you imagine me to be; that one is coming after me and I am not fit to undo his sandal." "My brothers, sons of Abraham's race, and all you who fear God, this message of salvation is meant for you.

 


 

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!

Tobit 13: Tobit praised and thanked God in these words: "Blessed be God who lives for ever, declare his praise in every nation. He is our Creator, our God, our Father. Praise him for all his kindness to us. My soul rejoices in the King of heaven. Let his praise be sung in Jerusalem and in all nations." 
Dear God, may you be known and loved by all the peoples of the world, since all people are your children

My recording of this reading

 

Psalms 14-15: So many people live and act as if God doesn't exist. Some foolish people even say there is no God. So many people have left the way of justice and truth. So many people follow the way of falsehood. Lord, help us to live as we should. Help us not to slander, help us not to wrong others.
Lord, help us to stand firm in the way of goodness

Listen

 

1 Corinthians 15.1-8: Let me remind you of the basic facts of the Good News: Christ died for our sins. He was buried. He was raised to life on the third day. He appeared to Peter, then to the other apostles, then to more than 500 of the believers - most of whom are still alive. Then he appeared to James and the other disciples. Last of all he appeared to me. I was like an unexpected child
Jesus, I have not yet seen you, but I believe in you and I love you

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

 Corpus Christi

40 years ago today in 1985 I paid my first visit to the Trappist Monastery on Lantau Island. I guessed correctly that they would be having Benediction for the Feast of Corpus Christi

 

Today's Gospel, below, suggests this special prayer for the starving people of Gaza:

HEAVENLY FATHER, YOUR DEAR SON ONCE MULTIPLIED LOAVES AND FISH, AND HELPED HIS APOSTLES CATCH BIG QUANTITIES OF FISH ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION ....SO ...HE HAS A LOT OF FISH PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE!  FATHER, SINCE THE THE PEOPLE OF GAZA ARE STARVING AND EVEN BEING KILLED AS THEY QUEUE FOR FOOD ... PLEASE ARRANGE FOR MANY, MANY FISH TO LEAVE THE SEA ON THE COAST OF GAZA  AND BEACH THEMSELVES SO THAT THE PEOPLE OF GAZA HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT. (ONCE A WEEK, ONCE A DAY?!). WE ASK THIS IS IN THE NAME OF YOUR DEAR SON  WHO SAID TO ASK FOR ANYTHING IN HIS NAME! Amen!

Genesis 14-15: In the land of Canaan there were many kings. Sometimes they went to war against each other. Melchizedek, king of Salem, was also a priest of God. Abraham gave Melchizedek 10% of all his possessions. Melchizedek gave Abraham bread and wine. Melchizedek asked God to give Abraham a special blessing. God said to Abraham, "This land of Canaan is yours;  I give it to you and your descendants."
Dear God, please help all the kings and leaders in the world to be friends
My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 116: I love the Lord for he has heard the cry of my appeal. He turned his ear to me in the day when I called him. They surrounded me, sorrow, distress and the snares of death. I was helpless, so the Lord saved me. Calm down my soul, for the Lord has been good. I will walk in the presence of the Lord in the land of the living. How can I repay the Lord for his goodness to me? The cup of salvation I will raise to thank the Lord. O precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his faithful. Lord, you have loosened my bonds. I am your servant.
Jesus, thank you for the Cup of Salvation that is your Eucharistic Blood

1 Corinthians 11.20-26: Concerning the Lord's Supper, this is what I received from the Lord and then taught you: On the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, broke it and said "This is my body which will be broken for you". After supper he took a cup and said "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Each time you drink this cup, drink it in memory of me". Until the Lord comes, therefore, each time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you re-enact the death of the Lord
Jesus, help me understand how bread and wine become your body and blood when Christians celebrate the Eucharist

Luke 9.10-17: Once after Jesus had been healing and teaching all afternoon, his disciples said to him "It's getting late and the people need to go and eat". Jesus answered "They don't need to go. You feed them". The disciples replied "We have only 5 loaves and 2 fish". Jesus got the people to sit on the grass. There were about 20,000 of them. Then he blessed the loaves and fish. He handed the loaves and fish to his disciples. His disciples gave them to the crowd. Everyone had plenty to eat. They even had 12 baskets of leftovers.
Jesus, please make leaders do more to help the starving people of the world

Reflection:  The name "Jesus" in Chinese is: . The character on the left, , represents ear and refers to listening. The character on the right, , is a combination of two characters. The first one means fish, the second one  means grain (and can mean bread).

Tobit 12: When Tobit's banquet was finished, Tobit wanted to thank Raphael for all his help. Only then did Raphael tell Tobit and Tobias that he was an angel sent by God to help them. "I am Raphael, one of the 7 angels who stand ever ready to enter the presence of the glory of the Lord. Never tire of giving God thanks. And never tire of helping the poor." Raphael farewelled them, rose in the air, and left them. They praised and thanked God for all he had done for them. 
Dear God, thank you for all your love, all your blessings

My recording of this reading

 

Psalms 9-13: I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart. You have so often rescued me from trouble. Thank you! You are the best helper for people in trouble. Please keep on helping me when troubles come. Please stop bad people from hurting others. Please let peoples in all countries know they must avoid evil and live a life of justice. 
Dear Lord, thank you for so often rescuing me

Listen

 

1 Corinthians 13.1-13: If I am the most brilliant speaker, but don't have love, I am just a gong booming. If I understand all mysteries, and if I have a faith that will move mountains, but don't have love, I am nothing. Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous, never boastful, never conceited, never rude or selfish. Love does not take offence. It's not resentful. Love delights in the truth. Love is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes. Love is virtue Number One, greater than faith or hope
Jesus, please help me love like you

Listen

 

 

Matthew 5.1-12Jesus 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

Early last night as I returned from the local post office after collecting mail from our mail box, I noticed a new mini-store in Temple Street ... selling fruit juices and packaged fruit.  I had never seen the store before so I guessed it had recently opened ... and I decided to give them a bit of business. I bought some packaged fruit and asked a lady running the store when it had opened. She replied "Only a few minutes ago, and you are my very first customer"!

Tobit 11: When Tobias returned home, his parents were full of joy. Tobias followed Raphael's instructions and applied the fish gall to his blind father's eyes. Tobias then peeled away a filmy skin from the eyes and his father Tobit was able to see again. Tobit and Tobias  joyfully praised God. Tobit welcomed Sarah and held a banquet for all his friends.
Dear God, please give sight to the blind people I know, just as you gave back sight to Tobit long ago

Psalm 8: How great is your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth. When I see the heavens, the work of your hands, the moon and stars which you have arranged, then I stop and think: what are we insignificant humans that you should care about us? Yet you have put us in charge of the world. Everything is subject to our control.
How great is your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth

1 Corinthians 12.12-30: A human body is made of many parts: arms, legs, muscles, eyes etc. Every part is important and needed for the body to be healthy. The church is like a body. We are the body's members. Some of us are apostles, some prophets, some teachers etc. The members of the church must care about every member of the church. Everyone is important. The spiritual health of each member affects the health of the whole body
Jesus, help me understand how your church is like a human body

Luke 6.12-16: Jesus went to the hills to pray. He spent a whole night praying. In the morning he called all his disciples together. He chose 12 of them and called them "apostles": Peter and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon, Judas son of James - and Judas Iscariot who became a traitor. Jesus and the 12 came down from the hill to a place of level ground. Gathered there were his many disciples and a large crowd of people from all over the country who had come to hear him and to be healed of diseases. People in the crowd tried to touch Jesus because power came out of him that cured everyone
Jesus, please bless modern day apostles who pray for the sick to be healed

Tobit 9-10: Tobias arranged that Raphael go to Gabael to collect the silver left by Tobit many years before. Gabael returned with Raphael to Raguel's house and joined the wedding feast. Realising that his parents would be worried about him, Tobias left for home as soon as the wedding feast was over. Raguel gave Tobias and Sarah half his possessions and prayed that he would see their children some day. A happy and grateful Tobias thanked God for all the blessings of his journey to Media

Luke 6.6-11: 
On another Sabbath Jesus  visited a prayer hall. A man with a withered hand was in the prayer hall. Some religious leaders were watching to see if Jesus would heal the man (since no work was allowed on the Sabbath, and they regarded healing as work). Jesus knew what they were thinking,  so he said to the man with the withered hand "Stand up! Come out into the middle of the hall". He came out and stood there. Jesus then asked the leaders "Is it against the law on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil; to save life or to destroy it?" Then he said to the man with the withered hand
"Stretch out your hand". He stretched it out. It was healed. The leaders were very angry. They left the prayer hall and began plotting how to get rid of Jesus

Jesus, please stop bad religious leaders from misleading people

  Listen

Reflection: Jesus did not say to himself "those guys will be upset if I do a healing, so I'll wait till they go away". Rather he used the occasion to point out how flawed was their understanding of the Law

Tobit 8: Before Tobias went to bed with Sarah, he remembered what Raphael had said. Tobias put some of the fish's heart and liver on burning incense. The smell of the fish made Asmodeus flee. Tobias with Sarah then prayed to the Lord: "You are blessed O God of our fathers. Let the heavens and all creatures bless you, you who created Adam and Eve. I now take Sarah as my wife not for any lustful reason, but out of true love. Please have pity on us and bring us to old age together." Then they went to bed. Meanwhile Raguel, who feared Tobias would die, prepared a secret grave. But when Raguel sent a maid to the room of Tobias and Sarah the maid found they were alive and sleeping peacefully. Then Raguel too praised God: "Thank you, my God, for making me happy. What I feared, has not happened." The next day Raguel prepared the customary 14 day wedding feast.
Dear God, thank you for the many times when we could say "What I feared, has not happened"

After supper he took a cup and said "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Each time you drink this cup, drink it in memory of me".

Luke 6.1-5: 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 King David and his followers once did when they were hungry? They ate the Temple bread which only the priests were allowed to eat. I am Master of the Sabbath"
