c.f. readings for Easter 6

Acts 8.14-17: The apostles in Jerusalem heard that people in Samaria had accepted the word of God. Peter and John went to Samaria to pray for the Samaritans to receive the Holy Spirit. So far the Samaritans had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. The Holy Spirit had not come down on them. When Peter and John prayed over them with the laying on of hands, the Samaritans received the Holy Spirit. 
Come Holy Spirit. Come down on me. Please help me understand the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation

My recording of this reading

 

Psalms 66-68: O God, be gracious and bless us and let your face shine its light upon us. Let all the peoples praise you, O God. Let all the peoples praise you. O sing to the Lord, make music to his name. Rejoice in the Lord, exult at his presence. Father of the orphan, defender of the widow, God provides a shelter for the homeless. God gives his people strength.
May all the peoples of the earth know you and praise you, O God

1 Peter 4.13-19: If you have a share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, because this means you will have an extra share of happiness in the life to come. It is a blessing for you when they insult you for being a Christian. It means you have the Spirit of God resting on you. People who experience suffering for God's sake, must trust themselves to the grace of the Creator, and keep on doing good
Jesus, give strength to persecuted Christians

John 14.8-21: At the meal, Jesus said to his disciples "To have seen me, is to have seen the Father. I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. Whatever you ask for in my name, I will do it, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you love me, you will keep my commandments. I will ask the Father and he will give you another Friend to be always with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth who will be living in your heart. If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make our home in his heart". 
Father, Jesus, Spirit of Truth - three Persons, one God  - thank you for living in my heart

Reflection: As Pentecost comes closer, it's good to often pray "Come Holy Spirit"!

Genesis 50: After mourning their father for 70 days Joseph and his brothers went to Canaan and buried Jacob there. Many of Pharaoh's officials went with Joseph to Canaan. When the group returned to Egypt, Joseph's brothers again asked him to forgive them for selling him as a slave. 
Joseph replied "God has turned this evil into good, and through me has helped many people. So do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your families". Joseph lived to see his children's children. Before he died, he asked that his bones one day be taken back to Canaan. 

Dear God, thank you for the beautiful story of Joseph

My recording of this reading

 

Psalm 22: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? I call to you for help, but day and night you give no reply. I am a worm and not a man. Everyone who sees me makes fun of me. They taunt me: "He trusted in the Lord, why doesn't the Lord help him?" Like water I am poured out, my bones no longer connected. My throat is parched, my tongue sticks to my jaws. Many evil people attack me. They make holes in my hands and my feet. They await my death. They divide my clothing among them, they throw a dice for my robe. Yet I know Lord, that  you are good and holy. I know how you heard the cries of our ancestors and you helped them. It was you who took me from the womb and entrusted me to my mother's breast. To you I was committed from my birth, from my mother's womb you have been my God. Lord, I trust in you even now. I trust you will not scorn my prayer. Even now I praise you as my Creator. May all the nations know and worship you. 
Lord, please help people who are in big trouble right now, especially people whose lives are in danger

1 Timothy 3.1-15: To want to be a presiding elder is to want to do a noble work. That is why the president must be above reproach: He must not have been married more than once. He must be temperate, discreet, courteous, hospitable, a good teacher, not a heavy drinker, not hot-tempered, but kind and peaceable. He must not be a lover of money. He must be a man who manages his family well and brings up his children well. How could anyone who can't manage his own  family be given responsibility to manage God's family? He should not be a new convert in case he becomes full of pride. The Church of the living God is God's family. The Church is the guardian of the truth
Jesus, please give the Church good leaders

Listen



Luke 10.1-9: Jesus appointed 72 disciples to go ahead of him in pairs, to all the towns and places he himself was to visit. He said to them "The harvest is rich, but the laborers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send laborers to his harvest. When you go into a town, cure those in it who are sick, and say:  'The kingdom of God is very near to you' "
Jesus, please inspire more people to make the spreading of the Good News their life's work

Reflection on the above readings: If the Church followed Paul's words about selecting "labourers", many problems would be avoided

Genesis 47-49: Pharaoh met Jacob and Joseph's  brothers and welcomed them to be shepherds in the land of Goshen. Jacob blessed Pharaoh. Pharaoh humbly received Jacob's blessing. Joseph provided food for his family during the famine. As the famine got worse the Egyptians sold their livestock and their farms to Joseph in return for grain. Joseph made the Egyptians promise that when the famine was over they would give one fifth of their produce to Pharaoh. Jacob lived in Egypt for seventeen more years before he died in Joseph's arms. Before his death, Jacob blessed all his sons. Jacob adopted and also blessed Joseph's two sons Ephraim and Manasseh
Dear God, please bless Egypt and Israel, and help them be friends

My recording of this reading

 

Psalms 20 & 21: May the Lord protect and help you, may he give you your heart's desire and fulfil every one of your plans. Some trust in chariots or horses, but we trust in the Lord
Lord, may our plans and hopes be acceptable to you. Please bless our plans

Listen

 

1 Timothy 1.18 - 2.8: Timothy, my son, as I give you advice for practical issues, remember how the church elders prayed over you that you would be a good leader. My first bit of advice is that there should be prayers offered for everyone, especially for kings and others in authority, so that we can live our life of faith in peace and quiet. God wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth. There is only one God, and there is only one mediator between God and humanity, himself a man, Christ Jesus, who sacrificed himself as a ransom for everyone. In every place, I want believers to lift up their hands in reverent prayer
God our Father, through Jesus your Son, I ask a blessing on the leaders of our world, especially the leaders of my own country

Luke 9.51-58: When the time came for Jesus to finish his life on earth, he resolutely took the road to Jerusalem. As Jesus and his disciples traveled along, they met a man who said to him "I will follow you wherever you go". Jesus replied "Foxes have holes, and birds have nests, but I have nowhere to lay my head"
Jesus, give me  courage to do what I should do

Genesis 46: Jacob and his whole family, about 70 people, took all their possessions and moved to Egypt. God said to Jacob "I myself will go down to Egypt with you". Joseph was ready for their arrival in Egypt. As soon as his father appeared, Joseph ran to greet him. Joseph threw his arms around his father and cried for a long time on his father's shoulder. Jacob said to Joseph "Now that I have seen you again, I can die in peace".

Psalm 19: 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, please protect us from making mistakes.
Lord, may the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart  be pleasing to you

1 Timothy 1.12-17: I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who called me into his service, even though I was an offender. Mercy was shown me, because I was acting in ignorance. Christ Jesus came into the world to save offenders. I myself am the greatest offender. Christ Jesus' patience and mercy to me is available to all offenders. I am a demonstration model of Christ's mercy
To the eternal King, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen

John 7.1-13: Jesus now stayed in Galilee. He could not stay in Judea because the religious leaders wanted to kill him. Not even his brothers believed in him. In Jerusalem, no one spoke about him openly, for fear of the religious leaders
Jesus, people were scared to talk about you, your brothers didn't believe in you, and the leaders wanted to kill you. How small my  problems are compared with yours

Genesis 45:  When Joseph realized his older brothers were sorry for having sold him as a slave he was overcome and started crying loudly. He told his brothers "I  am your brother Joseph whom you sold into Egypt. God sent me here to provide food for you".  He hugged all his brothers and talked with them. Joseph told his brothers to bring their father and their families to Egypt since the famine would last for five more years. Pharaoh was pleased that Joseph's brothers had come and warmly invited them to live in Egypt. The brothers returned to Canaan. They told their father that Joseph was alive. Their father Jacob was overcome with joy. 
Dear God, please help separated family members to be re-united

Psalms 17-18: Lord,  when trouble breaks out on every side, please protect and help me. For you are my strength, my rock, my fortress, my savior. I love you, Lord who save me because you love me. Lord, you are my lamp who lightens my life. I will praise you among the nations.

1 Timothy 1.1-10: From Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus, to Timothy, true child of mine in the faith. I  wish you grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Please stay at Ephesus and insist that no one teaches misleading doctrines or empty speculation about the Law of God. As a penal code, the aim of the Law is to make provision not for good people but for offenders: for murderers, for people who are immoral with women or with boys or with men, for liars and for perjurers  - and for everything else that is contrary to sound teaching
Jesus, please help law offenders not to offend again, and to make up for what they have done

Listen

 

Matthew 18.21-35: Peter asked Jesus "How many times must I forgive someone? 7 times?"  Jesus answered "Not 7, but 77 times. For the kingdom of heaven is like a king who cancelled the huge debt of one of his servants. But that same servant refused to cancel the tiny debt of one of his fellow servants. So the king said to the servant: 'When you appealed to me, I had pity on you and cancelled your big debt.  But you refused to have pity on your fellow servant who asked you for mercy. Therefore you must now go to prison until your big debt is paid.' If you refuse to forgive other people, you are making yourself ineligible for God's forgiveness.
Jesus, please help me to forgive other people, just as you forgive me .... many times each day

Genesis 44: Joseph had his brothers' sacks filled with free grain, then he gave them back their money. But he again put them to the test: he got his servants to put his special chalice in Benjamin's sack. Not long after the brothers left, Joseph's servants caught up with them and asked them why had they stolen Joseph's chalice. They replied that they would never dream of doing such a thing and that if the chalice was found in anyone's sack that man would die. Each man's sack was opened, beginning with the oldest, and finally the chalice was discovered in Benjamin's sack. On returning to Joseph's home the brothers pleaded with Joseph not to punish Benjamin. Judah even offered to be Joseph's slave for life in return for Benjamin's freedom
Dear God, please help us in time of trial

Psalm 16: Please protect me, Lord, I take refuge in you. You are the only source of all true happiness. I bless you, Lord, who guide and lead me. Even at night you direct my heart.

2 Thessalonians 3.10-16: We gave you a rule when we were with you: not to let anyone have any food if they refused to do any work.

In the Lord Jesus Christ, we order and call on such people to go on quietly working and earning the food that they eat. Never grow tired of doing what is right. May the Lord of peace give you peace always and everywhere
Jesus, don't let me interfere in other people's business

Mark 10 & 9: Some people brought their little children to Jesus. They hoped Jesus would  put his hands on the children and bless them. Jesus' disciples told the people to go away and not bother Jesus. But Jesus said "Don't stop the little children from coming to me". Then he put his hands on them and blessed them. Jesus also said "Anyone who welcomes one of these little children in my name, welcomes me. But anyone who causes scandal to one of these little ones, commits a great crime"
Jesus, please help all children to know you from their earliest days. Please don't let parents prevent children from coming to you. Please heal children who have been scandalized  by adults

Genesis 43: The famine continued and so Jacob sent his sons back to Egypt to buy more grain. This time Benjamin went with them, even though Jacob worried greatly about his safety. When the brothers arrived in Egypt Joseph invited them to his home for a meal. Simeon was allowed to join them. The brothers still didn't recognize Joseph. Joseph was moved when he saw Benjamin, his full blood brother. Joseph left the company and cried for quite some time. When Joseph rejoined the meal he gave the brothers a hearty meal which they all enjoyed. Joseph arranged that Benjamin's portion was extra large. 
Dear God, please bless all missing persons

Psalms 14-15: So many people live and act as if God doesn't exist. Some foolish people even say there is no God. So many people have left the way of justice and truth.

Lord, help us to stand firm in the way of goodness

Matthew 17.14-20: A man went down on his knees and pleaded with Jesus: "Lord, please help my son. He is crazy and does crazy things like falling into fire and into water. I asked  your disciples to heal him but they were not able to." There was an evil spirit oppressing the boy, so Jesus ordered the spirit to leave the boy. The boy was healed immediately. Jesus' disciples asked him "Why were we unable to expel that spirit?" Jesus answered "Because your faith is not strong enough."
Jesus, please increase my faith, so that my prayers can be of more help to other people

Reflection on the above readings:  Professor AI (!) - Strengthening our faith in Jesus involves consistently engaging with Scripture, practicing daily prayer, and actively applying faith through obedience and service .
