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        Previous Bible Plans 

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 

Before Tobias went to bed with Sarah,
he remembered what Raphael had said.

Tobias put some of the fish's heart and liver
on burning incense. The smell of the fish made Asmodeus flee.

Tobias with Sarah then prayed to the Lord:

"You are blessed O God of our fathers.
Let the heavens and all creatures bless you,
you who created Adam and Eve.

I now take Sarah as my wife
not for any lustful reason, but out of true love.

Please have pity on us
and bring us to old age together."

Then they went to bed.

Meanwhile Raguel, who feared Tobias would die,
prepared a secret grave.

But when Raguel sent a maid to the room of Tobias and Sarah
the maid found they were alive and sleeping peacefully.

Then Raguel too praised God:

"Thank you, my God, for making me happy.
What I feared has not happened."

The next day Raguel prepared the customary 14 day wedding feast.

Dear God, thank you for the many times when we could say
"What I feared has not happened"

The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit.

He guides me along the right path. He is true to his name.
If I should walk in the valley of darkness no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook and your staff; with these you give me comfort.

You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes.
My head you have anointed with oil. My cup is overflowing.

Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life.
In the Lord's own house shall I dwell for ever and ever.

Thank you, Lord, for being my good shepherd

Focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our religion.
He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just like Moses

Take care not to turn away from the living God.
Keep encouraging one another, 
so that sin does not cause you to turn away from God

Jesus, help me stay focused on you

When they reached the place called the Skull,
they crucified Jesus there,
and the two criminals also,
one on his right, the other on his left

Above his head was placed a sign  "This is the King of the Jews"

Jesus prayed "Father, forgive them. They do not know what they are doing"

The leaders made fun of him
"He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God"

The soldiers mocked him too "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself"

Jesus, you forgave those who mocked you and crucified you.
I forgive anyone who has been unkind to me
