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 said to Moses:
"Make a cover for the sacred tent.
Make the cover's support frames of acacia wood.

Make a veil of purple, violet and red
behind which to put the sacred chest.

Make an altar out of acacia wood.
Make altar vessels out of bronze.

Make a sacred courtyard to go around the tent.

Place a sacred flame outside the veil
and keep the flame burning from night till morning."  

Dear God, thank you for churches and other special places for prayer

The Lord is king.  He is great in Sion.
His power is seen throughout the world.

Among his priests were Aaron, Moses and Samuel.
They prayed to the Lord and he answered their call.

Let peoples everywhere praise his name.
He is holy, full of power.

 Lord, may all peoples know and love you 

Paul was taken into the soldiers' barracks. 
The captain ordered Paul to be tortured to find out the truth about his situation

But when they tied him down, 
Paul said "Is it legal for you to flog a  Roman citizen?

The captain said "It cost me a lot of money to acquire Roman citizenship".
Paul replied "I was born a Roman citizen"

Paul was untied without being flogged

Jesus, help people who are being tortured today

Jesus said to his disciples:
When I come in glory at the end of the world,
all peoples of all times will be gathered in front of me.

I will separate them, like a shepherd separates sheep from goats.
I will place the sheep on my right, the goats on my left.

I will say to those on my right "Come and enter my kingdom.
For I was hungry, and you gave me food.
I was thirsty, and you gave me drink.
I was a stranger, and you made me welcome.
I was naked, and you clothed me.
I was sick, and you visited me.
I was in prison, and you came to see me".

Then those good people on my right will say
"Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you?
When did we see you thirsty and give you a drink?
When did we see you a stranger and welcome you,
naked and clothe you, sick or in prison, and visit you?"

I will answer
"Each time  you helped and cared for a poor person,
you helped and cared for me".

Then I will say to those on my left
"Go away from me and join Satan and his angels in hell.

For I was hungry, and you never gave me food.
I was thirsty, and you never gave me anything to drink.
I was a stranger, and you never made me welcome,
naked, and you never clothed me,
sick and in prison, and you never visited me".

Those on my left will then ask
"Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or naked,
sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?"

I will answer
"Each time you refused to help and care for a poor person,
you refused to help and care for me".

Those on the left will then go to eternal punishment.
Those on the right will go to eternal life.

Jesus, please help me do more for poor people.
Make me understand that when I help a poor person, I help you
