Computer Cud         Vatican II 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 

After the Israelites crossed the Jordan River,
Joshua selected 12 men, one from each tribe,
and told them to get 12 stones from the middle of the Jordan.

The 12 stones were set up at Gilgal, east of Jericho, 
as a reminder of how God had helped the Israelites
cross the river.

When children in the future asked 
"What do these stones mean?"
parents were to answer:

"The waters of the Jordan separated and stopped flowing
when the Lord's Sacred Chest entered the river.
These 12 stones are a permanent reminder of this."

As soon as  the Israelites had finished crossing the Jordan,
its waters immediately started flowing again.

Dear Lord, please don't let me ever forget
the many times you have helped me cross "Jordan" rivers

I will bless the Lord at all times,
his praise always on my lips.

In the Lord my soul shall make its boast,
the humble shall hear and be glad.

Glorify the Lord with me, together let us praise his name.
I sought the Lord and he answered me.
From all my terrors he set me free.

The angel of the Lord is encamped around those who revere the Lord, to rescue them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good.
They are happy who seek refuge in him.

The Lord is close to the broken-hearted.
Those whose spirits are crushed he will save.

Lord, by our Bible reading and prayer,
 may we taste and see your goodness each day

To the church of Galatia, from Paul,
an apostle appointed not by man  but by Jesus Christ

Trouble makers among you have changed the Good News

I am astonished that you have begun following their false version of the Good News

Jesus, don't let people be deceived by anyone who waters down or changes your Good News

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 Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?"

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
