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.”

The

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?!).

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

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

1: The kingdom of King Ahasuerus stretched from

But Queen Vashti refused to join the banquet. The king therefore decided to replace Vashti
as queen.
Dear God, please bless all

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

sign of partnership.
We were to preach to the non-Jews, and they to the Jews
Jesus, please help all Christians to avoid disunity

John
3.1-5: A religious leader said to Jesus "you
are a teacher who comes from God, for no one could perform the signs that

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

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

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!

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

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

Psalm
32: Happy is the person whose sin is forgiven.

Jesus, don't let people
be deceived by anyone who waters down or changes your Good News

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

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

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"
