Computer Cud         V 2 asks us to read the Bible every day,   'to have a burning love'   for the Word of God              Resolution

This plan follows the Sunday liturgy:    reading + psalm + reading + gospel                  From  www.simplebible.info 

O Holy Spirit, please guide me as I read these passages for today. 
May these passages give me hope, strength, wisdom, courage and peace for my daily life 

God's words to Moses:

"Burn a red heifer and mix its ashes with water
to make holy water
for special blessings in cases of uncleanness."

Dear God, thank you for holy water.  May it protect and cleanse us

By the rivers of Babylon we sat and cried, remembering Zion.
On the poplars that grew there we hung up our harps.

For it was there that they asked us, our captors, for songs.
"Sing to us", they said, "one of Zion's songs".

O how could we sing the song of the Lord on alien soil?
If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand wither.

O let my tongue cleave to my mouth
if I remember you not, Jerusalem , above all my joys.

Lord, please help  people who have been exiled from their homeland

Pray for people who are unkind to you. Be kind to them.
Rejoice with those who are happy. Console people who are sad

Treat everyone with kindness. Never be condescending.
Make real friends with the poor

Do all you can to live at peace with everyone. Resist evil and conquer it with good

Jesus, I pray for (..name...) who was unkind to me

A large crowd gathered around Jesus near the side of the Sea of Galilee.
In the crowd was a woman who had suffered from bleeding  for 12 years.
She had spent all her money on doctors, but they  had been unable to help her.

She had heard about Jesus. She came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak.
"If I can touch even his clothes, I will be healed" she said to herself.

As soon as she touched Jesus' cloak, the source of the bleeding dried up at once.
Aware that power had gone out from him, Jesus turned round and said "Who touched me?"

The woman fell at his feet and told her story.
Jesus said "My daughter, your faith has restored you to health.
Go in peace and be free from your illness".

Jesus,  please help sick people touch you by prayer
