Tobit 4

Tobit said to his son Tobias:

"When I die give me an honorable burial.
Always honor your mother. When she dies, bury her at my side.

Be faithful to the Lord all your days.
Always be willing to help poor people.

Give your bread to those who are hungry
and your clothes to those who are naked.

Ask advice of every wise person.
Bless the Lord God in everything.  Beg him to guide your ways
and bring your paths and purposes to a successful conclusion.

Avoid all loose conduct.
Do to no one what you would not want done to you.

Choose a wife from our tribe, from our kin in Media.
Go to Media, to my friend Gabael.
Many years ago I left 10 talents of silver with.
This money is yours."

Dear God,  please guide me and help me to do what is right


Psalm 19   (sun + law = the "sun-in-law" psalm)

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, may the words of my mouth
and the thoughts of my heart  be pleasing to you


Philemon 9-25

While here in prison, I have helped someone you know
to become a believer. He is carrying this letter - Onesimus

I'm sending him back to you, no longer your slave,
but your brother in Christ

Please welcome him as you would welcome me.
And let me pay for anything he stole from you

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you

Jesus, please put an end to slavery in the world


Luke 22-23

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
