WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR

15TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

So Speak and so act as people who will be judged by the law of freedom.  For the judgement is merciless to one who has not shown mercy, mercy triumphs over judgement.  James2:12-13



MY PRAYER

That each day I draw closer to you Lord

That each day my heart like that of my Lord Jesus Christ           
That each day I grow in holiness
That each day cares and worries do
Not take control of my life
That each day my knowledge of you increases
That each day I see you in all creatures
That each day I grow in humility.

My prayer to you Lord that I am what you desire me to be.

                                                                        


psalm 27 

 APPRECIATING GOD FOR WHO I AM

O Lord, you search me and you know me. 
You know my resting and my rising,
you discern my purpose from afar.
You mark when I walk or lie down,
all my ways lie open to you.
                                                                                               For It was you who created my being,
                                                                                              Knit me in my mother’s womb.
                                                                                              I thank you for the wonder of my being,
                                                                                              For the wonders of all your creation.

                                                                                                                              Psalm 139    
psalm 51                                                 
with the Lord there is Mercy

 O Lord my God, be Thou not far from me, O my God, make haste to help me

My neighbour is that man or woman that I see me in him or her.   That my heart reach out in mercy to humanity irrespective of colour, race, tribe or nationality.  That whenever there is a need to help that love, mercy and compassion compels me to reach out my hand for that man or woman to grasp and be lifted up.

TRUST GOD, TRUST IN ME

Fifth Sunday of Easter  'I am going now to prepare a place for you' First Reading  Acts 6:1-7  They elected seven men full of the Holy Spirit About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked. So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, ‘It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food; you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom; we will hand over this duty to them, and continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.’ The whole assembly approved of this proposal and elected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, together with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus of Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these to the apostles, who prayed and laid th...

THE BREAD FROM HEAVEN

Tuesday week 3 of Eastertide -   ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ First Reading 7:51-8,1  'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit' Stephen said to the people, the elders and the scribes: ‘You stubborn people, with your pagan hearts and pagan ears. You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do. Can you name a single prophet your ancestors never persecuted? In the past they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, and now you have become his betrayers, his murderers. You who had the Law brought to you by angels are the very ones who have not kept it.’ They were infuriated when they heard this, and ground their teeth at him. But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ he said ‘and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.’ At this all the members of the council shouted out and stopped their ears with their hands; then they ...

YOU MUST NOT KILL

First Reading Ezekiel 18:21-28  I prefer to see the wicked man renounce his wickedness and live Thus says the Lord: ‘If the wicked man renounces all the sins he has committed, respects my laws and is law-abiding and honest, he will certainly live; he will not die. All the sins he committed will be forgotten from then on; he shall live because of the integrity he has practised. What! Am I likely to take pleasure in the death of a wicked man – it is the Lord who speaks – and not prefer to see him renounce his wickedness and live? ‘But if the upright man renounces his integrity, commits sin, copies the wicked man and practises every kind of filth, is he to live? All the integrity he has practised shall be forgotten from then on; but this is because he himself has broken faith and committed sin, and for this he shall die. But you object, “What the Lord does is unjust.” Listen, you House of Israel: is what I do unjust? Is it not what you do that is unjust? When the upright ma...
