Esther 3: About this time Haman from the land of Agag was promoted by King Ahasuerus to a top position. All other officials were to bow and prostrate themselves before Haman. Mordecai refused to bow to Haman. This made Haman very angry. Haman found out that Mordecai was a Jew. Haman decided to kill Mordecai and all Jews in the kingdom. Ahasuerus agreed to Haman's plan and a decree to this effect was announced: all Jews were to be killed on the 14th day of the 12th month
Dear God, please protect poor people from people like Haman

My recording of this reading

 

Psalms 38-39: O Lord, please forgive my sins and heal me. Heal my body which is sick because of my sins. Protect me, Lord, from those who gloat over me now that I am brought low and unable to help myself. Lord, you have shown me how short a time I have on earth. Lord, give me wisdom of heart to live my life better. 
Lord, help us understand the meaning of life

Listen

 

Galatians 2.16-20: What makes us God's friends is not obedience to the Law, but faith in Jesus Christ. I have been crucified with Christ, and I live now, not with my own life, but with the life of Christ who lives in me. The life I now live in this body, I live in faith: faith in the Son of God who loved me and who sacrificed himself for my sake
Jesus, help me understand how you live in me, and I live in you

Listen


 

John 3.25-36: Some of John the Baptist's disciples told John that many of his disciples were leaving him and following Jesus. John replied "I am not the Christ. I am the one who was sent to prepare his way. The bride is only for the bridegroom. But the bridegroom's friend is happy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. This is the happiness I now feel. He must become more and more important. I must become less and less important. Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal life. But anyone who refuses to believe in the Son will not have eternal life"
Jesus, be more and more important in my life

Listen

Reflection: One way of becoming less important is to talk less about ourselves during conversation with others ... and talk more about how things are going for others

Esther 2: A selection process was begun to find a woman to replace Vashti as queen. Esther was a beautiful Jewish orphan girl who had been brought up by her cousin Mordecai. After the long selection process was finished, Esther was chosen to be queen. No one in the palace knew she was Jewish. 
Dear God, again I ask you, please bless all kings and queens

My recording of this reading

 

Psalms 35-37: O Lord, please save me from people who slander me, you who rescue the weak from the strong, you whose love is so precious, you in whose light we see light. We believe that if we find our delight in you, you will grant our heart's desire. And so we commit our lives to you, confident you will help us in time of trouble. 
Lord, please deepen our trust in you, especially in time of trouble

Listen

 

Galatians 2.11-14: Not long after this, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, since he was in the wrong. He had been accustomed to eating with non-Jews, but when some friends of James arrived, people who insisted that all believers should be circumcised, he kept away from the non-Jews. When I saw that Peter was not respecting the true meaning of the Good News, I said to him in front of everyone "You have no right to make non-Jews adopt Jewish customs"
Jesus, help me understand that it's sometimes ok to criticize top Christian leaders

 
Listen

 

John 3.13-17: Jesus said to the religious leader: "The Son of Man must be lifted up on a cross, as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him". God loved the world so much, that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost, but may have eternal life. For God sent his Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but so that through him the world might be saved
Jesus, only Son of God the Father, thank you for coming into this world. Please help more and more people believe in you

Listen

 

Reflection: Pope Leo's June 29 words about unity in diversity:
 Our patron saints
(Peter & Paul) followed different paths, had different ideas and at times argued with one another with evangelical frankness. Yet this did not prevent them from living the concordia apostolorum, that is, a living communion in the Spirit, a fruitful harmony in diversity.”

 Peter and Paul now good friends in Heaven!

The people of Gaza (and other places, like Sudan) are the man by the side of the road in today's Gospel, below. And see the beautiful one-minute video by Pope Francis, below

 

  The world has turned its back on 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 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!

Deuteronomy 29-30: Moses called the whole of Israel together and said to them: "Keep the words of this covenant and observe them and you will thrive in all you do. Let there be no man or woman among you, no clan or tribe, whose heart turns away from the Lord your God to go and serve the gods of the nations. If ever you are scattered from the land God is giving you, God will bring you back when your hearts turn back to him. The Lord will circumcise your hearts until you love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. This law I enjoin on you today is not beyond your strength or beyond your reach. It is not in heaven, so that you need to wonder 'who will go up to heaven for us and bring it down to us so that we may hear it and keep it?' Nor is it beyond the seas, so that you need to wonder 'who will cross the sea for us and bring it back to us, so that we may hear it and keep it?' No, the Word is very near to you. It is in your mouth and in your heart for your observance. 
Dear Lord, please help more and more people to choose life and blessings...and not to turn their backs on you

Psalms 66-68: O God, be gracious and bless us and let your face shine its light upon us. Let all the peoples praise you, O God.
Let all the peoples praise you. O sing to the Lord, make music to his name. Rejoice in the Lord, exult at his presence. Father of the orphan, defender of the widow, God provides a shelter for the homeless. God gives his people strength. 

May all the peoples of the earth know you and praise you, O God

 Listen

 

Colossians 1.15-20: Christ is the image of the unseen God. In him were created all things. All things were created through him and for him. Before anything was created, he existed. He holds all things in unity. The Church is his body. He is its head. God wants all things to be reconciled through him who brought peace by his death on the Cross.
Jesus, God the Son become man, may our world find reconciliation and peace in you

 Listen


 

Luke 10.29-37: The religious leader then asked another question: "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied "A man on a journey was attacked by robbers. They beat him, took all he had, and left him seriously injured. A priest came by and saw the man, but did not help him. A temple worker also saw him, but did not help.  But a lowly foreigner who saw him was moved with pity. The foreigner bandaged his wounds, and used his own donkey to take the man to an inn. He paid the innkeeper to look after the man. Which of the three was a neighbor to the injured man?" The leader replied "The one who helped him". Jesus then said "Go, and do the same"
Jesus, please don't let me ignore people who need help

Sat July 12

Yesterday morning at Shatin Court a MercyHK case worker secured the release from prison on bail of a woman who had been in Tai Lam prison. And yesterday morning at the High Court I was the only non-legal person in the court, apart from prison staff, for the sentencing of a man from South America. A kind judge gave the man several months reduction for taking part in my anti-drug campaign. While at the High Court I submitted a bail application for another woman in Tai Lam ...and the case will be heard on July 22.

On my return to Jordan I came across a man from Mainland China who had  just had a seizure and had fallen on the footpath. A local Pakistani man helped him and an ambulance came within 5 minutes! HK is one of the best places in the world for the speed with which ambulance, police and firemen arrive when called for help

Esther 1: The kingdom of King Ahasuerus stretched from India to Ethiopia. Ahasuerus gave a banquet for all his leading people. But Queen Vashti refused to join the banquet. The king therefore decided to replace Vashti as queen. 
Dear God, please bless all kings and queens in the world

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 34: I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise always on my lips. In the Lord my soul shall make its boast, the humble shall hear and be glad. Glorify the Lord with me, together let us praise his name. I sought the Lord and he answered me. From all my terrors he set me free. The angel of the Lord is encamped around those who revere the Lord, to rescue them. Taste and see that the Lord is good. They are happy who seek refuge in him. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted. Those whose spirits are crushed he will save. 
Lord, by our Bible reading and prayer, may we taste and see your goodness each day

Galatians 2.1-9: 14 years after that first visit, I again went to Jerusalem, with Barnabas and Titus. I explained to the Christian leaders how I had been proclaiming the Good News to non-Jews. James, Peter and John shook hands with us as a sign of partnership. We were to preach to the non-Jews, and they to the Jews
Jesus, please help all Christians to avoid disunity

Listen

 

John 3.1-5A religious leader said to Jesus "you are a teacher who comes from God, for no one could perform the signs that you do unless God were with him". Jesus replied "Unless you are born through water and the Spirit, you cannot enter God's kingdom"
Jesus, please help more people be baptized through water and the Spirit

Judith 14-16: At daybreak the Jews attacked the Assyrian camp. When the Assyrians realized that Holofernes was dead, they panicked and fled. The Jews gave thanks to God for all that Judith had done. Judith praised the God of Israel for rescuing the Jews: "Lord you are great, you are glorious, wonderfully strong, unconquerable. May all peoples love and serve you." 
Dear God, thank you for the story of Judith. Please help me imitate her faith

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

Galatians 1.11-24: The Good News I preach is not a human message. It is something I received from Jesus Christ. I used to persecute the church, but then God called me to follow Jesus. I am a one-time persecutor who is now preaching the faith I had previously tried to destroy. When I visited Jerusalem three years after my conversion, the believers gave glory to God for what he had done for me
Jesus, please turn more persecutors into preachers!

Listen


Luke 7.36-50: A religious leader invited Jesus for a meal. A woman who had a bad name heard that Jesus was at the leader's home. She entered the house and knelt behind Jesus, crying. Her tears fell on Jesus' feet and she wiped them away with her hair. She covered his feet with kisses, and put  ointment on them. The leader was thinking "If Jesus is a prophet, he would know what sort of woman is now touching him". So Jesus said to the leader "I came into your house and you did not follow the custom of pouring water on my feet. But this woman has poured out her tears on my feet. You gave me no welcoming kiss, but she has been covering my feet with kisses. You gave me no welcoming oil on my head, but she has anointed my feet. And I tell you that her sins must have been forgiven, or she would not have shown such great love. People who are forgiven little, show  little love"
Jesus, please forgive my sins. Help me show great love

Thanks to a kind benefactor who belongs to our Saturday afternoon Mass for cancer patients, yesterday a most energetic renovation team made some major changes to the Dr Jesus Centre in Temple Street: a fan system to make breathing healthier (that's putting it simply!), interior insulation for the roof of our prayer room, and improvements to the lighting. Work to continue today. God bless the kind benefactor and the renovation team!

 

Yesterday afternoon I joined MercyHK volunteer Shirley Lee and one of her helpers for a visit to two nursing homes not far from the Dr Jesus Centre. In each home there are about 10 people, mainly men, who used to sleep on the street ... until Shirley with strong faith in Jesus and great patience encouraged them to move into a room at a nursing home. Shirley has also helped others move to other nursing homes. A most beautiful ministry motivated by Jesus. c.f. this April 11 Sunday Examiner report

Judith 13: When the banquet was over at a late hour, Judith was alone with Holofernes in his tent. Holofernes lay drunk on his bed. After praying to God for strength, Judith used Holofernes' sword to cut off his head. She went outside and gave the head to her maid. Her maid put the head in her bag. Judith and her maid then left the camp as they usually did when they went to pray early in the morning.They went straight to Bethulia and showed Holofernes' head to the people. The people were overcome with joy and praised God for what he had done by the hand of a woman.
Dear God, please give people the courage to confront injustice

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 32: Happy is the person whose sin is forgiven. For a while I refused to ask for forgiveness, and my body paid the penalty. But then I said "Lord, forgive me" and my spirit and body revived.
Lord, when I do wrong, please give me the grace to say sorry and ask forgiveness

Galatians 1.1-7: To the church of Galatia, from Paul, an apostle appointed not by man but by Jesus Christ. Trouble makers among you have changed the Good News. I am astonished that you have begun following their false version of the Good News
Jesus, don't let people be deceived by anyone who waters down or changes your Good News

Listen

 


Luke 7.18-30:
John the Baptist, imprisoned by King Herod, heard  the news about Jesus.  John sent two of his friends to ask Jesus "Are you the promised One?" Jesus replied "Go and tell John what you have seen today: the blind see again, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is proclaimed to the poor". Jesus then spoke to the people about John: "Everyone who accepted baptism from John acknowledged God's plan. But by refusing baptism from him, the religious leaders thwarted what God had in mind for them"
Jesus, please don't let me do anything to thwart your plan for my life

  Listen

Reflection: "What you have seen TODAY" .... notice what was all in one day's work for Jesus!

  Israel's Prime Minister, a war criminal according to the International Court of Justice, is nominating Donald Trump (who is complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza) for the Nobel Peace Prize.  Nobel Genocide Prize, yes. Nobel War Criminal Prize, yes. But not Peace Prize. I am sure that Norway's Nobel Committee will be horrified by this nomination. Maybe they will give the prize to someone who has been trying to stop the genocide ....like the medical teams and media teams in Gaza!

Judith 12: Holofernes allowed Judith and her maid to stay in a special tent each night, and each morning to go to a spring near Bethulia to wash and pray. After 3 days, Holofernes held a banquet for his staff. He invited Judith to the banquet with the aim of seducing her. Holofernes was so captivated by Judith's beauty that he kept on drinking wine until he was drunk. All the while Judith kept praying to God for strength and help.
Dear God, please give me a bit more of Judith's faith and courage

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 31: Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in distress. My eyes are full of tears, my heart full of sorrow. Everyone makes fun of me. My friends don't want to know me. Save me, Lord, from this mess. I praise you Lord, for you protect those who trust you. You keep them safe from slander and lies. Be strong, let your heart take courage, all you who trust in the Lord
I trust in you, Lord. My life is in your hands

Luke 7.11-17: Jesus and his disciples went to a town called Nain.  Many other people went with them. As they reached the town, a dead man was being carried out for burial, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. When the Lord saw her, he felt sorry for her. "Do not cry" he said. Then he said "Young man, I tell you to get up". The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Everyone was filled with awe and praised God saying "A great prophet has appeared among us. God has visited his people"
Jesus, please give me the faith to pray that dead people will come back to life - you who once told your disciples "to raise the dead"
