c.f. readings for Easter 5
Acts 6.1-7: About this time as the number of disciples kept growing, the twelve apostles decided to give other men the job of daily food distribution. The apostles said to the whole group of believers "It is not right for us to neglect the service of the word. Therefore you should choose seven men of good reputation, filled with the Holy Spirit and with wisdom. We give them the food distribution job, so that we can devote ourselves to prayer and the service of the word". The whole assembly approved of this idea. They chose seven men and presented them to the apostles who prayed over them with the laying on of hands. The word of the Lord continued to spread. Even a large number of priests became believers.
Jesus, please bless all deacons. Fill them with the courage and wisdom of the first seven deacons
My recording of this reading

Psalm 33: Ring out your joy to the Lord, all good people, for praise is fitting for loyal hearts. For the Lord loves justice and right; he fills the earth with his love. By his word the heavens were made, he spoke and the universe came into being. They are happy, whose God is the Lord, he is the source of all true joy. May your love be upon us, O Lord, since we place all our trust in you.
Lord, we trust in your precious love

1 Peter 2.4-9: Jesus is Mr Livingstone, the living stone rejected by men, but chosen by God. Stay close to him, so that you too may be living stones in the spiritual house of God's church. You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a people set apart to sing the praises of God who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Jesus, you are the foundation stone of my life. May I build my life on your teaching, your values, your example
Recording

John 13.37 - 14.6: At the meal, Peter said to Jesus "I will lay down my life for you". Jesus replied "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times. To all of you I say, there are many rooms in my Father's house. I am going now to prepare a place for you. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me".
Jesus, you are the Way, the Truth and the Life. Please help more and more people follow you to find truth and life

Genesis 42: In Joseph's home country of Canaan, the famine was very severe. Joseph's father Jacob said to his sons "I hear there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go to Egypt and buy grain for our families so that we will not die". All Joseph's brothers, except Benjamin, went to Egypt and arrived at the place where Joseph was selling grain. The brothers had not seen Joseph for about 20 years and they didn't recognize him. But Joseph recognized them. Joseph put them to the test: he said they were spies, and he told them to bring Benjamin to Egypt to prove they were not spies.
He kept Simeon in prison until they returned with Benjamin.
Dear God, please help any places in the world which are suffering from famine
My recording of this reading

Psalms 9-13: I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart. You have so often rescued me from trouble. Thank you! You are the best helper for people in trouble. Please keep on helping me when troubles come. Please stop bad people from hurting others. Please let peoples in all countries know they must avoid evil and live a life of justice.
Dear Lord, thank you for so often rescuing me-

2 Thessalonians 2.1-17: Regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, don't be deceived by wild speculation. Stand firm in your faith and avoid speculation. Keep the traditions we taught you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. May God strengthen you in everything good you do or say
Jesus, stop people spreading false information
Listen

Mark 9.14-29: A man brought his son to Jesus and pleaded: "Master, there is a spirit of dumbness in my son. When it takes hold of him, it throws him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and goes rigid". They brought the boy. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, it threw the boy into convulsions. Jesus asked the father "How long has this been happening?" He replied "From childhood....please help us!" Jesus said "Everything is possible if you have faith". The father cried out "Please increase my faith!" Jesus rebuked the evil spirit: "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you: come out of him and never enter him again". The spirit came out, but the boy seemed to have died. Jesus took him by the hand and helped him up. Jesus' disciples asked "Why were we unable to expel that spirit?" Jesus replied "Only prayer can drive out that kind of spirit"
Jesus, please help me pray better, so that I can help other people more
Listen

Reflection on the above readings: In today's Gospel, the father and the apostles need more faith

c.f. readings for St Joseph the Worker (For International Labor Day)

Genesis 1-2: God made the world. God made the sun, the moon and the stars....the whole universe. God said "Let there be light" and there was light. God made the earth with all its plants and trees and animals and fish and birds. God made the first people.....the first man and first woman. God made them in his own image and said to them "Be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth." God saw all that he had made, and all of it was good, very good.
Dear God, thank you for making such a beautiful world!
My recording of this reading

Psalm 90: O Lord you have been our refuge from one generation to the next. Before the earth or the world existed, you are God, without beginning or end. For you, a thousand years are like yesterday, come and gone so quickly. We humans have a short life, our life is over like a sigh. Our span is 70 years, or 80 for those who are strong. Make us know the shortness of our life, that we may gain wisdom of heart. In the morning, fill us with your love. Give success to the work of our hands.
Lord, help us realize the shortness of our life, that we may live our lives more wisely
Recording

Colossians 3.18 - 4.1: Wives and husbands, understand and support each other. Children, be obedient to your parents. Parents, treat your children fairly or else they will rebel. Slaves, be obedient and respectful to your owners. Offer up your work to the Lord, our Heavenly Owner. Owners, be just and fair to your slaves. Remember your Heavenly Owner.
Jesus, help families to live together in harmony
Recording

Matthew 13.53-58: One day Jesus went to Nazareth, his home town. In the prayer hall there he taught the local people. But the local people would not accept him. They said "Where did he get such wisdom and miraculous power? He is just a carpenter's son. His mother is that woman called Mary. His brothers are James, Joseph, Simon and Jude. His sisters are here, too. He's nobody special." Jesus said to them "A prophet is despised only in his own country and his own house". And he did not work many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
Jesus, please give me more faith in you .... and don't let me reject people
Recording

Reflection on the above readings: On this International Workers/Labor Day, may the example of the carpenter whom Jesus called "father" help us to offer up our work as a prayer to the Lord ... like a woman who used to pray "Jesus, I don't really like washing and ironing, but I offer it up as a prayer asking that you would keep my family safe". Let us also pray for the tens of millions of workers who have no jobs

Genesis 41: Two years later Pharaoh had a dream: he was standing by the river Nile and saw 7 healthy cows feeding on the riverside. Then he saw 7 sickly cows which ate the 7 healthy cows. Pharaoh woke, then had a second dream when he went back to sleep: 7 rich ears of corn on one stalk, followed by 7 withered ears which ate the 7 rich ears. None of Pharaoh's wise men could interpret the dreams.

Then the cup-bearer told Pharaoh how Joseph could understand dreams. Pharaoh sent for Joseph and Joseph told Pharaoh the meaning of his dreams: the 7 healthy cows and 7 rich ears meant 7 good years for Egypt; the 7 sickly cows and 7 withered ears meant 7 years of famine. Joseph also told Pharaoh what to do:

use a tax to collect one fifth of all grain in the 7 good years; then during the 7 years of famine
use the collected grain to feed Egypt. Pharaoh and his ministers were so impressed by Joseph's wisdom that Pharaoh made Joseph governor of the whole of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh himself. Pharaoh gave Joseph Asenath, a priest's daughter, as his wife.

Joseph was now 30 years old, having spent more than 10 years in Egypt. For the next 7 years Joseph traveled all over Egypt, supervising the collection of grain. Before the famine began,
Joseph and Asenath had two sons: Manasseh and Ephraim. When the famine began, Pharaoh told the Egyptians "Go to Joseph and do what he tells you". People from all over Egypt and from other countries went to Joseph to buy grain during the famine.
Dear God, thank you for turning things around in Joseph's life

Psalm 8: How great is your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth. When I see the heavens, the work of your hands, the moon and stars which you have arranged, then I stop and think: what are we insignificant humans that you should care about us? Yet you have put us in charge of the world. Everything is subject to our control.
How great is your name, O Lord our God, through all the earth

2 Thessalonians 1.1-5: From Paul, Silvanus and Timothy to the Church in Thessalonika: grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We take special pride in you because of your perseverance, despite persecutions and other troubles you have to face. People who refuse to accept the Good News are facing an eternal penalty: to be excluded forever from the presence of the Lord. So we pray that God will help you be the sort of people he wants you to be. In this way our Lord Jesus Christ will be glorified in you
Jesus, help me "keep going" when trials come

Luke 9.28-36: One day Jesus took his disciples Peter, James and John up a high mountain to pray.
On the mountain, while Jesus was praying, his whole appearance changed. His clothes became brilliant as lightning. The prophets Moses and Elijah appeared and spoke with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus "Lord, how good it is for us to be here!" Then a bright cloud covered them with its shadow. From the cloud came a voice: "This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him". When the voice had finished speaking, the disciples saw only Jesus in his normal appearance
Jesus, Beloved Son of God, how good it is to spend time with you in prayer

I spent most of yesterday at Lo Wu women's prison - my first visit for about a year - mainly meeting some special people helped by MercyHK. Also saw a number of people coming to the end of long sentences (8 - 10 years) .... having chosen to plead "guilty" instead of "not-guilty" ...even though they were not guilty, to avoid an even longer sentence if they pleaded "not guilty" and lost.

Genesis 40: Even in jail, God protected Joseph. When two of Pharaoh's officials, his cup-bearer and his baker also were put in jail, Joseph was able to interpret dreams they had. The cup-bearer dreamt he picked grapes and made wine for Pharaoh's cup. Joseph told him the meaning of his dream: in three days he'd be free and back at work as Pharaoh's cup-bearer. The baker dreamt that birds ate bread from a tray on top of his head. Joseph told him: "In three days you'll be hanged, and birds will eat your flesh." And so it happened as Joseph had said: on the third day the cup-bearer went back to work in Pharaoh's palace while the baker was hanged. Joseph asked the cup-bearer to help him get out of jail, but when the cup-bearer was free, he forgot about Joseph.
Dear God, please bless everyone who has ever helped me

Matthew 16.21-28: Jesus now began explaining to his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem to suffer, die and rise from the dead. He also said "If you want to be my disciple, you must deny yourself, take up your own cross, and follow me. Selfishness will ruin your life. Self-sacrificing will bless your life. What use is it to have everything in this world yet miss out on Heaven?"
Jesus, please help me find my life by losing it in service of others
Listen

Reflection on the above readings: 99% of the time, sickness is not a cross that Jesus wants us to carry. Never once did Jesus say to a sick person "Your illness is your cross"

Genesis 39: The slave traders took Joseph to Egypt and sold him to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's top officials. God was with Joseph. God blessed everything Joseph did. Because Joseph did everything so well Potiphar put Joseph in charge of his household and all his possessions. Because of Joseph, God blessed Potiphar and all his interests. Potiphar's wife tried to seduce Joseph who was very handsome. But day after day Joseph refused to sleep with her. Then one day when Joseph again refused her she tore his clothes and started screaming. She claimed Joseph had tried to seduce her. Potiphar believed his wife and he put Joseph in jail.

I will give you the keys of the kingdom."

Genesis 38: Jacob's son Judah had three sons - Er, Onan and Shelah. Er married Tamar, but not long after the wedding, Er died. So, according to custom, Judah asked Onan to marry Tamar and have a child for his brother. But Onan spilt his seed each time he slept with Tamar, so Tamar did not conceive. Judah then said to Tamar "Wait till Shelah grows up, and you can marry him." But when Shelah was older, he still hadn't been given to Tamar. So Tamar tricked her father-in-law Judah. She dressed as a prostitute and conceived by Judah. Judah did not know that the woman was Tamar; her face was covered. Three months later Judah was told that his daughter-in-law was pregnant after acting as a prostitute. Judah followed the harsh local custom and said "Take her outside and burn her." But Tamar produced Judah's seal, stick and cord
which he had given to her as a pledge when he had sex with her. So Judah admitted his guilt and freed Tamar who gave birth to twin boys.

Mark 8.22-26: In the village of Bethsaida, a blind man was brought to Jesus. His friends begged Jesus to touch him. Jesus took the man by the hand and led him outside the town. Jesus put spittle on the man's eyes and placed his hands on the man's eyes. "Can you see anything?" asked Jesus. The man was starting to see and replied "I can see people. They look like trees, but they are walking about". Jesus then placed his hands on the man's eyes again, and he saw clearly. He was healed and could see everything clearly.
Jesus, heal my friend ....(name)...who is blind

Reflection on the above readings: Why wasn't the blind man able to see immediately? Maybe to teach us that prayer sometimes (usually in our case!) needs to be made more than once!
