Tobit 2-3: One night when Tobit was resting,
sparrow droppings fell into his eyes and he became blind.
Some people made fun of Tobit for his misfortune.
Tobit humbly entrusted his life to the Lord. At the same time as Tobit was praying,
Sarah was praying in the town of Media. Sarah had been given in marriage 7 times
but all of her bridegrooms had been killed by the demon Asmodeus
before the couple could make love. The Lord heard the prayers of Tobit and Sarah
and sent the angel Raphael to help them.
Dear God, please help people
who are in difficult situations
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
2: Why are the nations revolting against God?
Why won't the nations accept God? O kings and rulers of the
nations, listen to God's voice.
Serve the Lord with love and honor. Blessed are the nations that love
the Lord
Let all the nations love you,
Lord. Let all the nations love you
Listen

Corinthians 5.8-11: Get rid of all evil and wickedness from your
life. Replace them with sincerity and truth.
People who do wrong will not inherit the
kingdom of God: people of immoral lives, idolaters, adulterers, catamites,
sodomites, thieves, usurers, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers. Some of you were like that once, but now you
have been washed clean and sanctified by Jesus Christ and his Spirit
Jesus, help me avoid doing bad things. Help me do more good things
Listen
John
2.1-11: Jesus, his mother and his disciples were
guests at a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The wine ran out, so Jesus' mother said to him
"They have no wine".
Jesus replied "Woman, my time for doing special things has not yet
come". His mother said to the servants
"Do whatever he tells you".
There were 6 big containers there, used for
holding water. Each could hold about 35 liters. Jesus said to the servants
"Fill the containers with water" and they filled them up. Jesus then said "take some out and give
it to the man in charge of the banquet". When the man tasted
the water, it had turned to wine. The man called the bridegroom and said
"You have kept the best wine until now". This was the first public miracle done by
Jesus
Jesus,
help me to do whatever you tell
me to do
Listen
Reflection: The last words of Mary recorded in the Gospels: "Do whatever he tells you"
----------
It
was the morning after the Wedding at Cana and St Joseph had a horrible hangover.
He called to Mary and said in a trembling voice: "Mary, would you get me a
glass of water? And whatever you do, don't let Jesus near it!"
((In fact: Joseph had already died when Jesus began his ministry))

Tobit 1 : Tobit was a Jewish
exile living in the city of Nineveh in Assyria.
Even though other
Jewish exiles, even his own relatives,
neglected their religion, Tobit stayed loyal to God.
Tobit also cared for
the poor and hungry.
And he made a special practice of burying the dead.
Dear
God, please help me to be like Tobit:
loyal to you and caring for the poor
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 1: Happy the person who
avoids evil and evil entertainment. Blessed
the person who reads and meditates on God's words. Such a
person is like a tree planted beside a river, getting plenty of
nourishment, bearing plenty of fruit. Such a
person is on the Way of Life.
People who do evil are on the Way of Death.
Dear
Lord, please help me do good and avoid evil

other people
Listen
Luke 5.1-11: One day when Jesus was standing near the Lake
of Gennesaret, with people pressing round him listening to the word of
God, he saw two fishing boats near the bank. He got into one boat, it belonged to Simon
Peter, and taught people from the boat, away from the shore a little
distance. When he'd finished speaking he said to Simon
"Go out further to deep water and use your nets for a catch of
fish". Simon replied "Master, we worked hard all
night and caught nothing, but if you say so I'll lower the nets". They soon caught so many fish that the nets
began to tear. They called to their friends in the second boat to come and
help. Both boats were soon filled with fish. Peter fell at Jesus' knees and said
"Leave me, Lord, I am a sinful man", for he was overcome by the
catch they had made, as were James and John who were his partners. But Jesus said to Simon "Don't be afraid.
From now on, you will be fishers of men". Simon and his friends
then left everything to follow Jesus
Jesus, bless and protect all
"fishers of men"

For the Feast of St Barnabas
Acts 11.19-26: Some
believers went to Antioch in Syria where they preached the Good News of the Lord
Jesus to non-Jewish people. Many non-Jewish people became believers. Barnabas,
a good man filled with the Holy Spirit, was sent to Antioch in Syria to
encourage the new believers to remain faithful to the Lord. Barnabas brought
Paul from Tarsus to Antioch. They stayed in Antioch one year, instructing a
large number of people. It was at Antioch that the believers were first called
"Christians"
Jesus, please help me be a good Christian
Listen
Acts
13.1-3: In the
church at Antioch in Syria, the following were prophets and teachers: Barnabas,
Simeon, Lucius, Manaen and Paul. One day while they were offering worship to the
Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said "I want Barnabas and
Paul set apart for the work to which I have called them". After fasting and
prayer, the leaders prayed for Barnabas and
Paul with the laying on of hands and sent them off on a missionary journey
Holy Spirit, help me be attentive to your guidance
Listen:
Acts
13.13-52: Paul and Barnabas went
to another Antioch, Antioch in Pisidia. Out of jealousy, the local Jewish
leaders there stopped Paul from preaching to the Jewish community. Paul and Barnabas then
turned their attention to non-Jewish people, and so the word of the Lord spread
through the whole countryside. But the Jewish leaders kept up their campaign,
and had Paul and Barnabas expelled
from Pisidia
Jesus, please don't let Gospel workers be expelled
My
recording of this reading
Acts
15.36-50: Some time after this,
Paul said to Barnabas "Let's
revisit the towns where we preached the word of the Lord". Barnabas suggested
taking John Mark with them, but Paul opposed this, since John Mark had deserted
them on the previous trip when the situation became dangerous. After a violent
argument, Paul and Barnabas split
up. Barnabas went
with John Mark to Cyprus. Silas joined Paul for his next journey
Jesus, at your Last Supper you prayed for the unity of your
followers. Help us avoid arguments
Listen
Reflection: St Barnabas, pray for us!

friend in Heaven help MercyHK in a new project .... a rehabilitation centre for
drug addicts in Yuen Long ...a centre which previously belonged to another NGO
that is now kindly offering it to MercyHK for rent. The place is absolutely
ideal. More info about this project in the coming weeks.

Nehemiah
7-13: The wall of Jerusalem was finally rebuilt
and doors were set in place in the wall. In the seventh month of the lunar calendar
Nehemiah assembled all the people
and read to them the Book of the Law of Moses. This was the first time that most of the
people
had heard the words of Moses' Book. The people were grateful to God
and praised him with great happiness. The people also promised God
that they would serve him more faithfully in the future. But
while Nehemiah was away on a visit to the king
the people and leaders became careless about the Law. When
Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem
he brought the people back to proper observance of the Law
Dear God, may we find joy and
strength in reading the Bible
and may the world have more good leaders like Nehemiah
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
149-150: Sing a new song to the Lord.
Let the praise of God be always on our lips. Praise God in his holy temple.
Praise him in the heavens. O praise him with sound of
trumpet.
Praise him with lute and harp.
Praise him with drums and dancing.
Praise him with strings and pipes. Let everything that lives and
breathes,
give praise to the Lord our Creator. Alleluia!
Lord, to you we say every day
"Allelu-ia" ("praise God")

Corinthians 3.5-15: Apollos and I are servants who brought the
faith to you. I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God made
things grow. You are God's building. By God's grace,
I laid the foundation, the only foundation there can be: Jesus
Christ. On that foundation you can build a house with
good or poor materials.
At the end of your life, your building will be judged by God
Jesus, you are the foundation of my life. Help
me build a house with good material (= good deeds)
Listen
Luke
4.38-44: Jesus went to the home of Simon Peter.
Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever. Jesus was asked to
help her. He bent over her, rebuked the fever and it left
her. She
immediately got up and served her guests. After the Sabbath finished at sunset, everyone
who had sick friends brought them to Jesus. Laying his hands on each of
them, he healed them. The next morning Jesus got up early and went
to a lonely place to pray. People found him and asked him not to
leave the area. But he replied "I must proclaim the Good News of the
kingdom of God to other towns too, because that is what I was sent to
do"
Jesus, heal my friend ... (name)... who
is sick

Reflection: Healing the sick was a major part of Jesus' ministry ... and it should be a major part of the Church's ministry

Readings for Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church
Genesis
3: A creature hostile to God took the form
of a snake and tempted the first man and first woman. The snake tempted
them to disobey God. When God asked them why they disobeyed him, the man blamed
the woman, and the woman blamed the snake. God said to the snake: "You are
the enemy of the human race. Someday a member of the human race will defeat
you." God said to the man and woman: "From dust you came and to
dust you will return." The first man's name was Adam (meaning
"man"). The
first woman's name was Eve (meaning "life").
Dear God, please help me understand how evil in the world started when Adam
and Eve disobeyed you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
87: On
the holy mountain is Jerusalem, the Lord's cherished city. Of you are told
glorious things, O city of God. All nations are called to serve and love the
Lord. And
Jerusalem shall be called their spiritual mother, for all shall be her children.
In Jerusalem everyone will be welcome and find a home.
Lord, may
Jerusalem be a place of peace and prayer for all peoples.
Listen
John
19.25-30: Near
the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of
Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Seeing his mother and John the apostle standing near
her, Jesus said to his mother "He
is your son". Then to John he said "She
is your mother". From that moment, John regarded Mary as his
own mother. Jesus said "My work is finished". Then he bowed his head
and died
We adore you Lord Jesus and we praise you, because you have
redeemed the world
Listen
Reflection: Mary, the New Eve, was given to us as our spiritual mother (and thereby Mother of the Church) when Jesus said to John (representing us) "This is your mother"

c.f. Readings for Pentecost
Acts
2.1-4: About ten days after
Jesus' ascension to heaven, was the Feast of Pentecost. Jesus'
12 apostles, his mother, several other women, and his brothers were together in
one room. Suddenly
they heard what sounded like a powerful wind. Tongues of fire appeared and came
to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit,
and began to speak foreign languages
Come Holy Spirit, fall afresh on me. Fall afresh on our world
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 104: Bless
the Lord, my soul! Lord God, how great you are. You make the
clouds your chariot. You walk on the wings of the wind. You make springs gush
forth in the valleys. They give drink to all the animals of the field. You make
grass grow for the cattle, and plants to provide food for people. You give us wine
to cheer our hearts, and oil to make our faces shine. You made the moon to mark
the months. The sun knows the time for its setting. How many are your works, O
Lord. In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your riches and the
sea is swarming with life. All things, great and small, look to you for food.
You open your hand, they have their fill. You
send forth your spirit, and life is created. You renew the face of the earth. I
will sing to the Lord all my life. May my thoughts be pleasing to him.
Lord, send forth your Holy Spirit and renew the face of the earth
Recording
Romans
8.14-21: Everyone moved by the Spirit is a child of
God.
The Spirit lets us use children's language to speak to God tenderly as "Abba, Father".
Since we are God's children, we are also his
heirs, coheirs with Jesus,
sharing his suffering so as to share his glory. What we suffer in this life can never be
compared with the glorious life we will have in heaven. The whole of creation looks forward to sharing
the same glory, to sharing immortality
Abba, Father,
may everyone love and honor you.
Help everyone get to heaven
Recording
John
14.23-27: At the meal, Jesus said to his disciples
"If you love me, you will put my words into practice, and my Father
will love you, and we shall make our home in your heart. The New Friend, the Holy Spirit, whom the
Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of
all I have said to you. Peace I leave with you, my own peace I give
you, a peace the world cannot give"
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, please help me
understand how you live in my heart. Thank you for your peace

Reflection on the above readings:
The
Day of Pentecost (good!)
Hudson Taylor: "Since the days of Pentecost, has the whole church ever put aside every other work and waited upon Him for ten days, that the Spirit's power might be manifested? We give too much attention to method and machinery and resources, and too little to the source of power."

"Spare your people, Lord!" The Lord replies: "I will save and
