Jesus,
I don’t know how I am now.
I’ll open the Holy Bible
and you’ll give me your answer?
Yes…
I make myself a cup of coffee, no sugar no milk. Continue reading Prayer 244

Prayer 242
Jesus,
I sought you in churches and pagodas,
but you were not there.
I sought you in books and teachings,
but you were not there.
I came back to the room of my heart,
and you were there. Continue reading Prayer 242
Prayer 241
Jesus,
Knowing about You is a sword.
This sharp sword may save people
and also may kill people.
A swordsman may be a samurai
and also may be a killer.
Please, Jesus,
help me listen to Your word carefully
so that I can use Your sword
as Your will.
Amen.
PTH
Prayer 240
Jesus,
In Israel then,
servants had to serve their masters
but they had the right not to wash other’s feet,
even their masters’.
But you washed other’s feet
and washed your own disciples’ feet.
You acted as a servant.
Oh no, your act was lowlier than a servant’s act. Continue reading Prayer 240
Prayer 239

In Israel then,
the Jews saw tax collectors as betrayers

Prayer 238
Jesus,
You said,
“I am the vine; you are the branches.
If you remain in me and I in you,
you will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing.”*
Perhaps the grapevine was important in Israel then, Continue reading Prayer 238
Prayer 237
Jesus,
When a teacher of the law came to you and said,
“Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
You replied,
“Foxes have dens and birds have nests,
but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”(1)
What did you mean? Continue reading Prayer 237
Prayer 236
Jesus,
I’m thinking about your act –
the washing of the disciples’ feet.*

that was the washing the others’ feet

Lời cầu nguyện 235 – Prayer 235
Giêsu ơi,
Em dâng Chúa ngày hôm nay.
Thành công và thất bại.
Hạnh phúc và mệt mỏi.
Lúc tốt và lúc tệ.
Em dâng Chúa tất cả.
Lời cầu nguyện 234 – Prayer 234
Giêsu ơi,
Giêsu phán,
“Chính Thầy là con đường…
Không ai có thể đến với Chúa Cha mà không qua Thầy.”*
Vì Giêsu và Chúa Cha là một,
không ai đến với Giêsu nếu không qua Giêsu. Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 234 – Prayer 234
Lời cầu nguyện 233 – Prayer 233
Giêsu ơi,
Tài liệu đầu tiên về Giêsu mà em đọc
có lẽ là cuốn Mật mã Da Vinci của Dan Brown.
Cuốn tiểu thuyết này làm em yêu mến Giêsu
vì nó kể cho em nghe về Giêsu – một con người,
không phải Đức Chúa Trời.
Người đàn ông đó có vợ và con gái,
và con cháu của họ vẫn còn sống đến ngày nay.
Prayer 232
Jesus,
Mary Magdalene anointed your feet
and wiped them with her hair.*
So, that was Mary’s way of washing your feet?
And she washed your feet in a luxurious way
(using a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard), Continue reading Prayer 232
Prayer 231
Jesus,
Do you remember?
You said,
“Come to me,
…and I will give you rest,
…and you will find rest for your souls.”
Please lead me to you,
and give me rest
in your meek and lowly heart.
Amen.
PTH
* Matthew 11:28-30
Lời cầu nguyện 230 – Prayer 230
Giêsu ơi,
Khi rửa chân cho các môn đệ,*
Giêsu không nghĩ
mình là người rửa,
các môn đệ là những người mình rửa
và mình đang rửa chân cho họ,
phải không? Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 230 – Prayer 230
