Spirituality helps make sense of an incomprehensible world 

 

  Pope Leo XIV - Dilexi Te

12. We must not let our guard down when it comes to poverty. We should be particularly concerned about the serious conditions in which many people find themselves due to lack of food and water. In wealthy countries too, the growing numbers of the poor are equally a source of concern. In Europe, more and more families find themselves unable to make it to the end of the month. In general, we are witnessing an increase in different kinds of poverty, which is no longer a single, uniform reality but now involves multiple forms of economic and social impoverishment, reflecting the spread of inequality even in largely affluent contexts. Let us not forget that “doubly poor are those women who endure situations of exclusion, mistreatment and violence, since they are frequently less able to defend their rights. Even so, we constantly witness among them impressive examples of daily heroism in defending and protecting their vulnerable families.” [8]  While significant changes are under way in some countries, “the organization of societies worldwide is still far from reflecting clearly that women possess the same dignity and identical rights as men. We say one thing with our words, but our decisions and reality tell another story,” [9] especially if we consider the numbers of women who are in fact destitute.

Sirach 10-11: As the magistrate is, so will his officials be. As the governor is, so will be the inhabitants of his city. What has dust and ashes to pride itself on? A king today is a corpse tomorrow. Do not praise a person for good looks, nor dislike anyone for appearance. Small among winged creatures is the bee, but nothing is sweeter than her honey.
Lord, please give our world good leaders

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 145: I will give you glory, O God my king. I will bless your name day after day. The Lord is great, worthy of all praise. His greatness cannot be measured. Age to age shall proclaim your works, shall speak of your splendor and glory. The Lord is kind and full of compassion, slow to anger, abounding in love. How good is the Lord to all, compassionate to all his creatures. All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord, and tell all the world of your love. The Lord is faithful in all his words and loving in all his deeds. The Lord supports all who fall and raises all who are bowed down. The eyes of all creatures look to you and you give them their food each day. The Lord is close to all who call him,
who call on him from their hearts. Let the whole world bless the Lord's holy name, for ever, for ages unending. 

Thank you, Lord, for your love. Thank you for your love

Listen

 

1 Timothy 5.1-14: Do not speak harshly to a man older than yourself, but advise him as you would your own father. Treat younger men as brothers. Treat older women as you would your mother. Treat younger women with propriety, as if they were your sisters. Be considerate to widows. If a widow wishes to be enrolled as a church worker, she must be at least 60 years old, the wife of one husband. As regards young widows, it's best if they re-marry
Jesus, help church workers to be kind and caring

Listen


Luke 14.1-6: One Sabbath day Jesus went for a meal to the house of a religious leader. In the house Jesus saw a man with dropsy. Jesus asked the leaders present there "Is it against the Law to cure a man on the Sabbath?" But they remained silent. Jesus took the man, healed him, and sent him away. Then Jesus said to the leaders "Which of you here, if his son falls into a well, will not pull him out on a Sabbath day?" Again  the leaders remained silent
Jesus, help me understand that "the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath"

Listen

Reflection: Luke, being a doctor, shows special interest in medical information ...so he uses the term dropsy

  US-sponsored Israeli genocide in Gaza: Israel continues the killing *** Israel kills 11 members of one Gaza family

 

  Pope Leo XIV - Dilexi Te

11. A concrete commitment to the poor must also be accompanied by a change in mentality that can have an impact at the cultural level. In fact, the illusion of happiness derived from a comfortable life pushes many people towards a vision of life centered on the accumulation of wealth and social success at all costs, even at the expense of others and by taking advantage of unjust social ideals and political-economic systems that favor the strongest. Thus, in a world where the poor are increasingly numerous, we paradoxically see the growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people. This means that a culture still persists — sometimes well disguised — that discards others without even realizing it and tolerates with indifference that millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings. A few years ago, the photo of a lifeless child lying on a Mediterranean beach caused an uproar; unfortunately, apart from some momentary outcry, similar events are becoming increasingly irrelevant and seen as marginal news items.

Sirach 8-9: Do not look down on an old person. Old age is our common destiny. Do not discuss your affairs with everyone you meet. Be careful when you ask advice. Do not look lustfully at a woman. Do not stare at the beauty which belongs to someone else. 
Lord, please help me control my tongue and my eyes

 My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 144: Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who gives me strength for every situation. He is my love, my fortress. He is my stronghold, my savior. To you, O God, will I sing a new song, you who so often rescued David your servant. Happy the people whose God is the Lord. Please continue to bless your people, Lord. Let our sons flourish like saplings grown tall and strong from their youth; our daughters graceful as columns, adorned as though for a palace. Let our crops and stock be blessed. May there be no sound of weeping on our streets. 
Lord, please help us love and honor you every day. Don't let us ever forget your love

1 Timothy 4.12-16: Do not let people disregard you because you are young. Be an example to all the believers in the way you speak and act. You have in you a spiritual gift which was given you when the church  elders prayed over you with the laying on of hands. Do not let this gift go unused. Take great care about what you do and what you teach. In this way you will save both yourself and those who listen to you
Jesus, help me be a good example to other people

Matthew 19.27-29On behalf of all the disciples, Peter asked Jesus "What about us?  We have left everything to follow you." Jesus replied "You will be leaders in the church on earth. Also, anyone who has left home, family or country for the sake of my name, will receive a 100-fold blessing in this life, and will also receive eternal life in Heaven."
Jesus, please bless all Gospel workers

  Pope Leo XIV - Dilexi Te

10. In this sense, it can be said that the commitment to the poor and to removing the social and structural causes of poverty has gained importance in recent decades, but it remains insufficient. This is also the case because our societies often favor criteria for orienting life and politics that are marked by numerous inequalities. As a result, the old forms of poverty that we have become aware of and are trying to combat are being joined by new ones, sometimes more subtle and dangerous. From this point of view, it is to be welcomed that the United Nations has made the eradication of poverty one of its Millennium Goals.

Isaiah 2: In the days to come, the mountain of the Lord's Temple will be specially blessed. All the nations will come to it and say: "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, that he may teach us his ways so that we may walk in his paths". When they learn the ways of the Lord, then the nations will hammer their swords into ploughshares, their spears into sickles. Nation will not lift sword against nation, there will be no more training for war. O House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
Lord, please help world leaders do more for peace in our world

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 19: The heavens proclaim the glory of God, the starry skies are the work of his hands. The stars can't speak, but they are God's handwriting. The sun is God's love shining on the whole world. The universe is a masterpiece, and so is God's law which shines in our hearts. The precepts of the Lord enlighten our lives each day. The law of the Lord gives joy and wisdom to our hearts. The decrees of the Lord are to be desired more than gold, they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. But  often we are unaware of  our errors. Lord, please protect us from making mistakes. 
Lord, may the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart  be pleasing to you

 Listen

 

Revelation 1.4-8: From John, to the seven churches of Asia province: grace and peace to you from him who is, who was, and who is to come, from the seven spirits at his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the First-born from the dead, the Ruler of the kings of the earth. Jesus Christ loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood, and made us a line of kings and priests to serve his God and Father. It is he who will come on the clouds. Everyone, in every part of the world, will see him. All hearts will be moved by his coming "I am the beginning and the end", says the Lord God. "I am the originator and goal of all things"
Jesus, please help more and more people know who you are

John 17.1-21: After saying many things to his disciples at the meal, Jesus looked up to heaven and prayed "Father, my time has come. Give eternal life to everyone you have entrusted to me. Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I have glorified you on earth, and finished the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, it is time for you to glorify me with the glory I had with you before the world existed. Protect those you have given me. Protect them from Satan. Consecrate them in the truth. As you sent me into the world, so I am sending them into the world. May all my followers be united, so that the world will believe it was you who sent me". 
Jesus, please protect our world from lies and deception. Please bless people who witness to the truth in difficult situations
 Listen

Reflection on the above readings: Truth is often a casualty in today's world of fake and controlled news. Christians are people who try to be truthful in their own lives and witness for the truth to others

"When you have a party, invite the poor" - here:  (click "translation" to see English). More photos here 

 

  Pope Leo XIV - Dilexi Te

9. The condition of the poor is a cry that, throughout human history, constantly challenges our lives, societies, political and economic systems, and, not least, the Church. On the wounded faces of the poor, we see the suffering of the innocent and, therefore, the suffering of Christ himself. At the same time, we should perhaps speak more correctly of the many faces of the poor and of poverty, since it is a multifaceted phenomenon. In fact, there are many forms of poverty: the poverty of those who lack material means of subsistence, the poverty of those who are socially marginalized and lack the means to give voice to their dignity and abilities, moral and spiritual poverty, cultural poverty, the poverty of those who find themselves in a condition of personal or social weakness or fragility, the poverty of those who have no rights, no space, no freedom.

Feast of Saint Luke  ("Luke"/"Acts")

Luke 1: Dear Friend of God, there are already many reports written about Jesus. These reports come from people who were the earliest eyewitnesses and ministers of the Good News. After checking the whole story, I also have decided to write a report, so that you may see for yourself the truth and accuracy of the Good News
Jesus, help me understand your Good News

Acts 1: Dear Friend of God, in my first book (the Gospel of Luke) I wrote about everything Jesus did until the day he was taken up to heaven. For 40 days after his death, he appeared to his apostles many times, and taught them about the kingdom of God. He told them to stay in Jerusalem and wait for what the Father had promised: "You will soon be baptized with the Holy Spirit"

Yesterday morning film maker Maria Kuipler arrived in HK for a visit to promote her anti-drug documentary Mule, about which there will be a special gathering at the Dr Jesus Centre at 3pm on Sunday Oct 26

Then at lunch time at the Dr Jesus Centre there was a really beautiful gathering for homeless people, to put into practice Jesus' words: "when you have a party, invite the poor". Photos to come.

Last night I went to a function for former students of Monash University, where I met a number of kind people who are interested in helping MercyHK.

A birthday to remember! Thank you Jesus!

 

 US-sponsored genocide in GazaPalestinian bodies returned by Israel ....tortured, executed *** Maybe I've missed them, but as the bodies of dead Israeli hostages are sadly returned from Gaza, I haven't seen any report about the fact that many of the hostages were killed by Israeli bombs and gunfire ....c.f. this NYT report of May 1

 

  Pope Leo XIV - Dilexi Te

8.
The passage of Sacred Scripture in which God reveals himself to Moses in the burning bush can serve as a constant starting-point for this effort. There he says: “I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them... So come, I will send you” ( Ex 3:7-8,10). [7] 
God thus shows his concern for the needs of the poor: “When the Israelites cried out to the Lord, he raised up for them a deliverer” ( Judg 3:15). In hearing the cry of the poor, we are asked to enter into the heart of God, who is always concerned for the needs of his children, especially those in greatest need. If we remain unresponsive to that cry, the poor might well cry out to the Lord against us, and we would incur guilt (cf. Deut 15:9) and turn away from the very heart of God.

Sirach 6-7: Let your acquaintances be many, but your advisers one in a thousand. A faithful friend is a sure shelter. People who love and honor the Lord, will find a faithful friend. From your youngest days, seek wisdom. If you love listening, you will find wisdom. Stretch out your hand to help poor people. Console people who are sad. Visit the sick. In everything you do, remember the purpose of life and you will avoid evil.
Dear Lord, please help young people to seek wisdom

My recording of this reading

 

Psalms 140 -143: Lord, save me from people who do evil, you who do justice for the needy. I have no way out of this situation. And no one wants to help me. Lord, I beg you tonight to make haste and give me an answer, for my spirit fails within me. In the morning let me know your love for I put my trust in you. 
Lord, please help people who are in big trouble

Listen

 

1 Timothy 4.8-10: It's good to keep fit physically, and even more important to keep fit spiritually. We have put our trust in the living God. He is the saviour of the whole human race, especially of believers
Jesus, may I keep fit, physically and spiritually

Listen


 

Luke 13.10-17: One Sabbath day Jesus was teaching in a prayer hall. There was a woman there who for 18 years had been possessed by a spirit which left her bent over and unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said "Woman, you are rid of your infirmity" and he laid his hands on her. At once she was healed and could stand up straight, and she glorified God. 
Jesus, please heal the people I know who are bent over and can't stand up straight

Listen

Reflection: The woman in the Gospel did not reach out to Jesus for. Maybe she did not see him ...did not know who he was. But Jesus reached out to her. Such is his heart ....and such should ours be ....sometimes for special cases reaching out to people even before they reach out to us for help

 US-sponsored Israeli genocide in GazaWill genocidal war in Gaza really end? (Fr Shay Cullen)

 

  Pope Leo XIV - Dilexi Te

7. Eight centuries ago, Saint Francis prompted an evangelical renewal in the Christians and society of his time. Wealthy and self-confident, the young Francis was taken aback and converted by his direct contact with the poor and outcast of society. The story of his life continues to appeal to the minds and hearts of believers, and many non-believers as well. It “changed history.” [5]  A further step on the same path was taken by the Second Vatican Council, as Saint Paul VI pointed out when he said that “the ancient parable of the Samaritan served as the model for the Council’s spirituality.” [6]  I am convinced that the preferential choice for the poor is a source of extraordinary renewal both for the Church and for society, if we can only set ourselves free of our self-centeredness and open our ears to their cry.

Sirach 4-5: Water puts out a fire. Almsgiving makes up for sins. Do not refuse to help a poor person. Some people are all talk and no action. Some people are lions at home but sheep in society. Do not give your heart to money. Do not let  passion rule your life. Be quick to listen, but slow to speak. Keep your temper under control.
Lord, please help me to be kind and sincere

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

 

1 Timothy 4.1-7: Don't be surprised if some people come up with strange ideas about how to live life. Satan and his friends are always trying to sow lies and deception in the Lord's field of truth. Have nothing to do with strange ideas like "marriage is forbidden" or "you are not allowed to eat certain foods". Everything God made is good, and no food is to be rejected, provided grace is said for it. The word of God and prayer make food holy
Jesus, please help me remember to say a little prayer before I eat

Listen

 

Luke 13.18-35: Jesus said to the people "The kingdom of God is like a tiny seed planted in the ground. It grows and becomes a big tree, and the birds live in its branches. The kingdom of heaven is like yeast mixed with flour until the flour is leavened all through. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you kill the prophets who are sent to you. How often have I longed to gather your children, as a hen gathers her
chickens under her wings, and you refused"
Jesus, may your kingdom grow in the hearts of more and more people
