Job
8-10: Bildad then spoke of God's justice and the
fate of people who forget God. Job agreed and said how God was sole creator
and judge of the world:
He and no other stretched out the skies.
The Bear, Orion, the Pleiades and the Mansions of the South - all were
made by him. "Challenging God is unthinkable.
Yet I know I am innocent and I'm being punished unjustly. I also know that God knows I'm innocent.
So why am I being punished? This is my question."
Dear God, please save us in
time of trial
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
84: How lovely is your sacred temple, Lord.
My heart is longing to spend time in your holy dwelling. Even sparrows and swallows are your
temple guests.
They build homes for their young near your altar. Blessed are the people who live and work in
your temple.
And blessed, too, are people who keep the memory of your temple in
their hearts. As they go through the troubles of life,
you give them strength to face the trials of each day. Lord, one day within your temple
is better than a thousand anywhere else.
Dear God, thank you for special
places of prayer
Listen
Ephesians
5.1-4: Follow Christ by loving as he loved us.
Among you there must be not even a mention of
promiscuity or impurity in any of its forms. There must be no coarseness, or salacious talk
and jokes
- all this is wrong for you
Jesus, help me control my mind and my
tongue
Listen
Matthew
14.34-36: When Jesus got out of the boat on the other
side of the lake,
people recognized him and news of his presence spread quickly. From all around that area, sick people were
brought to him.
The sick people just wanted to touch his clothing.
All those who touched his clothing were healed
Jesus, please heal my sick
friends (..names..) by letting them,
through prayer, touch your clothing
Listen
Reflection: Jesus please increase our faith in your healing love!

Mon Aug 11
This afternoon, after a MercyHK staff meeting in the morning, I'm
due to go to the High Court to submit two more bail applications. Recently I
calculated that our many bail cases over the past few years have saved the HK
government about HK$4,000,000, since keeping one prisoner for one year costs
around HK$300,000!

Job
3-7: Job
broke the 7 day silence by wishing that he had never been born. He added
"For me, there is no peace, no sleep. My suffering doesn't let me
rest." Eliphaz
then spoke and reminded Job that God corrects those whom he loves. Job replied
that he was innocent of any wrongdoing, so why was he being punished? He
added: "Lying in bed I wonder 'When will it be day?' During the day I
think 'How slowly night comes.' Neither
day nor night offers me any relief from my suffering."
Dear Lord, please give courage
and peace
to people who are suffering great pain or distress
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
82-83: God says to corrupt officials:
"How long will you judge unjustly and mistreat the poor?
You should do justice for the weak and the orphan.
You should defend the afflicted and the needy.
You should rescue the weak and the poor.
You should set them free from the hand of the wicked". O God, please protect your people from
corruption and injustice.
Save us also from attack by other nations.
Let everyone know that you are the Lord of all the earth.
Lord, please stop corrupt
officials from hurting people
Listen
Ephesians
4.22-32: You must give up your old way of life.
You must put aside your old self and its delusions. Your mind must be renewed by a spiritual
revolution, so that you can follow a way of life based on goodness and
truth. From now on, no more lies.
Delete anger from your mind at the end of each day. Anyone who was a thief must stop stealing. Try
to find a decent job. Guard against foul talk.
Let your conversation encourage people, not drag them down. Avoid grudges. Don't lose your temper.
Don't raise your voice to anyone. Don't call people names. Be friends with one another, and kind,
forgiving one another as readily as God forgives us in Christ
Jesus, help me put these words into
practice
Listen
Matthew
14.22-33: After feeding the crowd with 5 loaves and 2
fish,
Jesus told his disciples to go by boat across the nearby lake.
Jesus stayed to send the crowds away.
Then he went up into the hills to pray. When darkness came, the boat was far from land,
but it was battling large waves caused by a strong head-wind. Jesus then walked on the water towards the
boat.
He called out to his disciples "Courage. It is I. Don't be
afraid." Peter answered "Lord, if it is you, tell
me to walk on the water to you." Jesus said "Come". Peter then started walking on the water,
but he became afraid and began to sink.
"Lord, save me" he called out.
Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to keep walking on the water.
"Man of little faith, why did you doubt?" asked Jesus.
As they got into the boat, the wind stopped. The men in the boat bowed to Jesus and said
"You really are the Son of God".
Jesus, please help me not to
lose faith in you
Listen
Reflection: The words of Job, above,

c.f. readings for Sunday 19
Wisdom 10-19: Wisdom
has been present in the world since the beginning of time. Wisdom has always
been a close friend of good people. Wise people see God in the beauty of
creation. Foolish people are blind to God's presence in creation. Wise people
ponder God's goodness and kindness. Wise
people try to be good and kind to other people.
Lord, please help me see and imitate your goodness and kindness
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
Listen
Hebrews
11-12: Only
faith can keep us going. Only faith helped Abraham and other famous people in
the Scriptures to keep going. So
many of them were weak people who were given strength by God, to be brave
when life became difficult. With so many witnesses in a great cloud all around
us, we too should keep running in the race we have started. We should get rid of
everything that slows us down. Keep focusing on Jesus. He is running beside us.
His example going to the cross gives us courage. Try to live at peace with
everyone. Don't let any seed of bitterness begin to grown and make trouble. This
can poison a whole community
Jesus, help me remember your presence in my heart

Job 2: Satan asked permission from God to test Job even
further.
God gave permission. Satan struck Job with sores and ulcers from the soles of his feet
to the top of his head. Job scraped himself with a piece of pot. His wife told him to curse God and die. But Job replied
"If we take happiness from God's hand, must we not take
sorrow too?" News of Job's situation reached three of his friends:
Eliphaz,
Bildad and Zophar and they decided to visit Job. When they drew near to Job, they did not recognize him.
They wept, tore their clothes and sat on the ground beside Job
for 7 days without speaking, stunned and saddened by Job's appearance.
Dear God, please help me imitate Job's trust and
faith
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
81: Ring out your joy to God our
strength,
shout in triumph to the God of Jacob. Listen to the voice of the Lord: "I am the Lord your God
who brought you out from the land of Egypt. Let there be no foreign god among you,
no worship of a false god. O that my people would heed me,
that Israel would walk in my ways. At once I would subdue their foes.
But Israel I would feed with finest wheat and honey".
Lord, please help us to walk in
your ways
Listen
Ephesians
4.17-19: Do not go back to living the aimless kind of
life that many non-believers live. Intellectually they are in the dark, because
they have shut the door on God's grace. They have a poor sense of right and
wrong, and
have abandoned themselves to reckless living.
Jesus, help people who are confused about
the meaning of life
Listen
John
6.1-15: Near the Sea of Galilee, a large crowd
followed Jesus, attracted by the way he healed so many sick people. Jesus climbed a hillside and
sat there with his disciples. Seeing the huge crowd, Jesus said to one of
his disciples "How can we feed so many people?" The disciple Andrew said "There's a young boy here with 5
loaves and 2 fish. But what good is that for such a huge crowd?" Jesus said "Make the people sit down". The crowd of about
20,000 sat down on the grass. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and gave them out to all
the people. He did the same with the fish. Everyone ate as much as they
wanted to. The people, seeing this miracle, said "He really is God's great
prophet". Jesus, aware that they wanted to make him
king, slipped away and went up the hill by himself
Jesus, please bless my prayers and actions to
help others,
just as you blessed the loaves and fish

Reflection:
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!

Job 1:
Job lived in Southern Israel. He had 7 sons
and 3 daughters.
He owned thousands of animals.
He loved God and was a good man.
Satan, one of the fallen angels, challenged God to let Job be put to the
test. God gave permission to Satan to test Job.
On the same day, all Job's animals were
captured by raiders, and all his children died in a storm. Job tore his clothes, shaved his head, bowed
to the ground and prayed:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
naked I shall return to the womb of the earth.
The Lord gave, the Lord has taken back.
Blessed be the name of the Lord."
Dear God, please give us
courage and faith when life is difficult
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

Ephesians
4.1-16: I implore you to lead a life worthy of your

selflessness, gentleness and patience. If we live by the truth and in love, we shall
become more and more like Christ. We are parts of the Body of Christ. Christ is
the head. Each part must do its bit to keep the Body healthy and growing
in love
Jesus, help me understand how the Church is
your Body
Listen
Matthew
14.1-12: Not long after Jesus began traveling and teaching,
King Herod arrested John the Baptist and put him in prison. This was because John had told Herod he was breaking the Law
by living with Herodias, his brother's wife. During a birthday party for Herod,
the daughter of Herodias danced. Her dancing so pleased Herod
that he said he would give her anything she wanted. Herodias told her to ask for the head of John the Baptist on a dish.
Herod then had John beheaded. John's disciples came and buried the body.
Jesus, please give the world
good leaders, and protect people from bad leaders like Herod

1 Maccabees 15:
In 138 B.C., Antiochus
son of Demetrius made war with Trypho.
This same Antiochus became hostile to Simon after the Romans
renewed their treaty with Israel. When Antiochus sent an
army to attack Israel,
Simon defeated that army. A disloyal and
ambitious Jew named Ptolemy got Simon and two of his sons drunk at a
banquet and killed them. Simon was succeeded by
his son John as leader of the Jews.
Dear God, please protect
good leaders from disloyalty
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

Ephesians
3.14-21: This is what I pray, kneeling before the
Father from whom
every family, whether spiritual or natural, takes it name: May he give you power through his Spirit
for your hidden self to grow strong. May Christ live in your hearts through faith.
Planted in love and built on love, may you
continually focus
on the love of Christ, until your life is filled with that love
Glory be to him whose power working in
us,
can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Glory be to him from generation to generation
in the Church
and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen
Listen
Matthew 10.17-28: Jesus said to his apostles
"Because you follow me and speak my message,
therefore you will be arrested and put in prison. But don't worry about what to say for your
defence.
What to say will be given you by the Holy Spirit. Boldly proclaim my message
and do not be afraid of persecution. Take up your cross and follow
me.
Anyone who does not take up his cross and follow me
is not worthy of me." Jesus, please give me more
courage
Reflection: How to focus on Jesus? Some people find that wearing a Cross helps remember Jesus, helps focus on Jesus

c.f. readings for Feast of the Transfiguration
Daniel
7: Once when Daniel was asleep, he
had a vision of heaven: "Thrones were put in place and one of great age
took his seat. His robe was white as snow, his hair as pure as wool. A thousand
thousand waited on him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. Then
coming on the clouds of heaven was one
like a son of man. On him was conferred glory and kingship, and
people of all nations became his servants. His kingship is eternal. His empire
will never be destroyed."
Jesus, please help me understand that you are the "Son of Man" whose
kingship is eternal
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
97: The Lord is king, let
earth rejoice, the many coastlands be glad. Cloud and darkness are his robes.
His throne is justice and goodness. The skies proclaim his goodness. All peoples
see his glory. Let those who serve idols be ashamed. Let
all creation worship the Creator. Light shines
forth for good people. and joy for the upright of heart. Rejoice in the Lord,
all good people. Give glory to his holy name.
Lord, you indeed are God of the universe

Peter 1.12-18: As long as I
am in this passing world, my duty is to keep on reminding you of the truths we
hold dear. Writing this letter is one way of making sure that after my departure
you will still have a way of recalling the truths we hold dear. These truths are
not cleverly invented myths. I myself saw the majesty of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He was honored and glorified by God the Father, when the Sublime Glory
himself spoke to him and said "This is my Son, the Beloved. He enjoys my
favor". I
heard this myself, spoken from heaven, when I was with Jesus on the holy
mountain.
Jesus, Beloved Son, may more and more people
accept the truth of your Good News
Recording
Matthew
17.1-8: One day Jesus took his disciples
Peter, James and John up a high mountain. On
the mountain Jesus' whole appearance changed. His face shone like the
sun. His clothes were as white as snow. The prophets Moses and Elijah
appeared and spoke with him. Peter said to Jesus "Lord, how good it is
for us to be here!" Then a bright cloud covered them with its shadow. From
the cloud came a voice: "This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him."
The disciples bowed to the ground. When they got up, they saw only Jesus in his
normal appearance.
Jesus, Beloved Son of God, how good it is to
spend time with you in prayer.
