c.f. readings for Tues of Holy Week
Isaiah
46-49: The Lord called me before I was born. From
my mother's womb he knew my name. While I was thinking that I had toiled in
vain, all the while my cause was with the Lord. The Lord who formed me in the
womb and assigned me to rescue his people, that same Lord said to me: "I
will make you the light of the nations, so that my salvation will reach
to the ends of the earth"
Jesus, please help me understand how
these words refer to you
Psalm
71: In you, O Lord, I take refuge. Please
hear me and help me. Be
a rock where I can take refuge. Rescue
me from people
who want to hurt me. It
is you, O Lord, who are my hope. In you I have trusted since I was young. From
my mother's womb you have been my help. My hope has always been in you. Now that
I am old, please do not forget me. Now that my strength fails, do not abandon
me. To you I will sing with the harp. All day long my tongue will tell of your
goodness to me. Jesus,
please help me understand how these words refer to you
Recording
Mark
14.66-72: Peter
went to the place where the religious leaders had Jesus on trial. A young woman
in the courtyard of the place said to him "You were with Jesus, the
man from Nazareth". Peter replied "I don't know what you're talking
about". Peter went to the gateway of the place, where the woman saw him
again and said to people around her "This man is one of them". Peter
denied it. Not long after this a group of people said to Peter "You are his
friend. We can tell by your Galilean accent". Then Peter even more strongly
replied "I do not know the man". At that very moment, a rooster
crowed. Peter remembered Jesus' words "Before the rooster crows, you will
deny me three times". Peter
then wept loudly.
Jesus, please help me not to deny you. Give me courage to say "I am a
Christian"
Listen
Luke
22.63-65: The men
who were guarding Jesus mocked
him and beat him. They blindfolded him. "Since you are a
prophet", they said, "tell us who hit you just then". And they
continued heaping insults on him.
Jesus, please stop me from making offensive fun of other people
Recording
Luke 22.66 - 23.12: At
daybreak there was a meeting of the religious leaders. Jesus was brought before
them. They asked him "Are you the Son of God?". He replied
"Yes". They said "We have heard his blasphemy from his own
lips". They took him to the Roman governor, Pilate, and made many false
accusations against him. Pilate said "I find no case against him".
Jesus was then taken to King Herod who
made fun of him and sent him back to Pilate.
Jesus, on trial before the leaders, before Herod and before Pilate, please help
all prisoners who are on trial today
Recording
Reflection on the above readings: When someone makes fun of us, we react, internally if not externally. Being made fun of is not a pleasant experience. And most of us have to admit to having made fun of others. But human hurt feelings pale into insignificance when compared with what Jesus must have felt. The Creator of the Universe being ridiculed by creatures. A loving and kind parent being ridiculed by a son or daughter .... only a faint image of what happened 2,000 years ago this week.

Only recently did I learn about The
Six Day War which began on this day!
in 1899 .... in reaction to the Qing Dynasty's unequal treaty surrender of the New Territories
...as a result of the
Opium Wars (which were the UK's Trump-like bullying of
China!) *** Excellent book, in Chinese and English,
by Patrick Hase The
Six-Day War of 1899 (and see

c.f. Monday of Holy Week
Isaiah 42: Here
is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights. I have
endowed him with my spirit that he may bring true justice to the nations. He
does not cry out or shout aloud. He
does not extinguish the wavering flame. I have called him to serve the
cause of right, to open the eyes of the blind, to free captives from prison.
Jesus, Servant of the Father, you are the Saviour of the world.
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
27: The Lord is my
light and my help, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life,
before whom shall I shrink? Though an army encamp against me, even then would I
trust. There is one thing I ask of the Lord, for this I long: to live in the
house of the Lord all the days of my life. It is your face, O Lord, that I seek.
Hide not your face. I
am sure I will see your goodness in the land of the living. Hope in the
Lord, hold firm and take heart. Hope in the Lord!
Jesus, may we pray this psalm in time of trial, just as you did
Recording
Mark
14.53-65: The
men who arrested Jesus took him to a meeting of the religious leaders. The
leaders wanted to condemn Jesus to death, even if they had to use false
evidence. Jesus remained silent before their accusations. Then the main leader
challenged Jesus: "Are you the Saviour, the Son of God?" Jesus replied
"I am". The leader then called out "We have heard him claim to be
of Divine origin. This is blasphemy". The
rest of the leaders shouted "He should die". Then
they spat in Jesus' face and hit him with their fists
Jesus, thank you for submitting yourself to insult and spittle for the
salvation of the world
Listen
John
12.1-8: Six
days before the Passover, Jesus went to
Bethany, for a dinner at the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha. Mary
put expensive ointment on Jesus' feet. Then she wiped his feet with her hair.
Judas Iscariot, the disciple who was going to betray Jesus, said "Why
wasn't this ointment sold and the money given to the poor?" He
said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief.
He was in charge of the moneybag and would steal from it. Jesus replied
"Leave her alone. She is anticipating and honoring my burial. Besides, the
poor will always be with you. But I will soon be gone".
Jesus, may we "anoint your feet" by serving the poor
Recording
Reflection on the above readings: We can wash Jesus' feet ... by serving him in the poor ... by real service of the real poor, not insincere lip-service like that of Judas

c.f. readings for Palm Sunday
Isaiah
50: The Lord
has opened my ear to hear his message. The Lord has given me words to proclaim
his message. For my part, I made no resistance, neither did I turn away. I
offered my back to those who struck me, my cheeks to those who tore at my beard. I
did not protect my face from insult and spittle. I set my face like
flint. The Lord will help me.
Jesus, please help me understand how these words refer to you
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 22: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? I call to you for help, but day and night you give no reply. I am a worm and not a man. Everyone who sees me makes fun of me. They taunt me: "He trusted in the Lord, why doesn't the Lord help him?" Like water I am poured out, my bones no longer connected. My throat is parched, my tongue sticks to my jaws. Many evil people attack me. They make holes in my hands and my feet. They await my death. They divide my clothing among them, they throw a dice for my robe.
Yet
I know Lord, that you are good and holy. I know how you heard the cries of
our ancestors and you helped them. It was you who took me from the womb and
entrusted me to my mother's breast. To you I was committed from my birth, from
my mother's womb you have been my God. Lord, I trust in you even now. I trust
you will not scorn my prayer. Even now I praise you as my Creator. May all the
nations know and worship you.
Lord, please help people who are in big trouble right now, especially people
whose lives are in danger
Philippians 2.6-11: O Lord, unite us in your love and keep our minds in you. O Lord, unite us in your love and keep our minds in you. Though you were God in state divine you did not cling to what you were. No, you shed your glory's shine so as to live just like a slave. O Lord, unite us in your love and keep our minds in you. You came on earth in human form and you shared our troubled life. A humbler man there never was, even in death obedient. Yes, Lord, death upon a cross, yes, upon a cross.
Therefore are you raised on high and you have the name of names. At that name should bend the knee and tongue confess: Jesus Christ is LORD. And tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD. And tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD. To the glory of God the Father
Luke
19.28-40: When
Jesus came near to Jerusalem, he sent two disciples to a nearby village to get a
donkey colt which no one had ever ridden. Jesus sat on the colt and began the
descent from the Mount of Olives down the hill to Jerusalem. The
disciples spread their clothes on the road, and joyfully praised God for all the
miracles they had seen. They cried out "Blessings
on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!" Some
religious leaders told Jesus to stop the disciples from calling out. Jesus
replied "If these keep silence, the stones will cry out"
Jesus, you who came in the name of the Lord, we praise and love you

1 Kings
1: When King David was very old and near the end
of his life,
Absalom's brother Adonijah plotted to become king. The prophet Nathan therefore advised Bathsheba
to go to David and remind him that he had promised
to let Bathsheba's son Solomon become king. David then summoned the priests and royal
guards
and ordered them and Nathan to anoint Solomon as king.
Dear God, please give the world
good leaders
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
107: (Desert, Detention,
Death, Danger!)
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His great love is without end. Let them say this, those the Lord has helped,
people from east and west, north and south.
Some people wandered in the desert, lost and unable to find their way to safety.
In their hunger and thirst they cried to the
Lord for help.
He rescued them and showed them the way to safety. Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for he fills the hungry with good things.
Some people were prisoners in misery and
chains,
living in darkness and gloom. In their distress they cried to the Lord for
help.
He rescued them and restored their freedom. Let them thank the Lord for his goodness,
for he shatters the iron bars of prisons.
Some people were sick on account of their
sins,
unable to eat, and close to death.
They cried to the Lord in their need.
He healed them and saved them from the grave. Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for the wonders he does for us.
Some people sailed to the sea in ships
and were caught in terrifying
storms. They cried to the Lord in their need
and he calmed the sea and wind. Let them thank the Lord for his love,
for the wonders he does for us. Whoever is wise should meditate on these
things
and reflect on the love of the Lord.
Thank
you Lord, for your rescuing love

11.46-54: The religious leaders had a meeting to decide
what to do about Jesus.
They said "If this man keeps on doing miracles, everyone will follow him. Then
the Romans will see him as a threat, and they will wipe out our
nation". The main leader said "It is better
for one man to die for the people, than for the whole nation to be
destroyed". These words had more meaning than the leader
realized, since Jesus was to die not just for the nation, but for the
whole world. Since the leaders wanted to kill him, Jesus
went to a remote area near the desert, and stayed there with his disciples
Jesus, please help me better understand how
your death saved the world
Listen
Reflection: If Jesus did not die and rise ... then after we die there would not be eternal life, but eternal nothingness or worse

2 Samuel 16-24:
When David was living in exile,
some people helped him, some people insulted him.
To insult his father and to claim the kingship
Absalom publicly had sex with his father's concubines.
Gradually David was able to re-build his army
and his army defeated Absalom's soldiers in battle. In that battle, Absalom died
and David mourned his death for a long time. Eventually David was able to become king of
all Israel again.
Dear God, may Israel be a land of peace
My
recording of this reading
Psalm
106: O give thanks to the Lord for he is
good.
His great love is without end. They are happy who do what is right,
who at all times remember what is just. When our ancestors came out of Egypt,
they forgot the greatness of God's love. Each time they strayed, God forgave them.
But still they continued to forget God who was their saviour,
God who had done such great things for them in Egypt.
O Lord, our God, please don't
let us forget your love
Listen
Acts 28.17-31:
Not long after his arrival in Rome, Paul had a
meeting with a large number of Jews. The meeting went from early morning
until evening. Paul talked to them about the kingdom of God.
He tried to help them believe in Jesus. Some accepted Jesus. Paul was in detention for two years, in his
own rented house. He welcomed everyone who came to visit him. With
boldness and without hindrance, he taught people about the Lord Jesus
Christ
Jesus, thank you for the Acts of the Apostles.
May I help more people know and love you, like Paul
Listen
John
10.23-38: When Jesus was
walking in the Temple, some religious leaders said to him "If you are the
Christ, tell us plainly". Jesus
replied "I have told you, but you do not believe me. The miracles I do in
my Father's name also witness to who I am. The Father and I are one". The
leaders picked up stones to stone Jesus and said "We will stone you
for blasphemy. You are only a man and
you claim to be God". Jesus
replied "If I am not doing my Father's work, then do not believe me. But if
am doing my Father's work, you must know that the Father and I are one. He
is in me and I am in him"
Jesus, please help more people believe that you are the Son of God

nearby McDonald's for an early lunch ...my first visit to that McDonald's in
more than 30 years....which was paid for by a kind staff member who happens to
be a MercyHK benefactor! She would not let me say "no". I had no idea
she was there ...and had never met her. To repay her kindness I invited her for
a meal at MercyHK's canteen ...and she came last night ... joining some other

2 Samuel 14-15:
When David had finished his time of mourning
for Amnon,
he allowed Absalom to return to Jerusalem.
Only after two years did David agree to meet
Absalom.
He met him and pardoned him. But as time went on Absalom started to plot
against David.
Absalom gathered enough supporters to overthrow David. David found out about the plot and fled from
Jerusalem.
David was very sad and prayed to God
that someday he could return to Jerusalem.
Dear God, please help

Psalm
105: Give thanks to the Lord, make known his deeds among all the
peoples. O sing to him, sing his praise.
Tell all his wonderful works. Be proud of his holy name.
Let hearts that seek the Lord rejoice. Consider the Lord and his strength.
Constantly seek his face. Never forget how the Lord has helped us in the
past,
how he has protected Israel from its beginning till now.
Dear
God, please help me understand how you have been loving and protecting me

Paul was allowed to stay in lodgings of his
own, with a soldier to guard him

John 8.42-58: Jesus said to the people "If God were your father, you would
love me, since I have come from God and I speak the truth. You avoid the
truth, because your father is the father of lies, the Devil. Abraham rejoiced at the thought of my coming. He saw it in the
future and was glad". The people said "You are not yet 50 years old. How could you
have seen Abraham?" Jesus replied "I tell you, before Abraham
ever was, I Am". The people then picked up stones to throw at Jesus for claiming to
be God. But Jesus safely left the Temple
Jesus, you who existed as God the Son from all
eternity, please increase my love for the truth, and help me avoid lies

mentioned. The cardinal also encouraged me personally to spend more time
visiting prisons ...which is something I dearly want to do.

2 Samuel 13:
David had many wives and concubines.
One of his sons, Amnon, fell in love with his step-sister
Tamar
and raped her. King David was very angry about this
but did not punish Amnon, since he loved him.
Amnon was his first-born son. But another son, Absalom, Tamar's full
brother,
hated Amnon and killed him. Absalom fled for three years to another land.
All that time the king mourned for Amnon.
Dear Lord, please spare my family from conflict

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.
Bless the Lord, my soul!

Acts 28.1-10: We were on the island of Malta. The local
people were really kind to us. They made us welcome. They lit a huge fire
because the weather was cold and rain was falling. Paul collected a bundle of sticks and was
putting them on the fire, when a snake bit his hand and held on. The locals
expected him to die. But he just shook the snake into the fire. He was ok.
The local Roman governor kindly gave us
hospitality for three days. The governor's father was very sick in bed
with fever and dysentery. He was healed when Paul prayed for him with the
laying on of hands.
Word of the healing got around fast, and soon everyone on the island who
was sick, came and got healed
Jesus, please bless the people of Malta
