GE13 MALAYSIA: WHO TO VOTE FOR?
POLLING DAY: MAY 05, 2013
First Reading
ACTS 15:1-2, 22-29
1 Then some men came
down from Judaea and taught the brothers, 'Unless you have yourselves
circumcised in the tradition of Moses you cannot be saved.'
2 This led to
disagreement, and after Paul and Barnabas had had a long argument with these
men it was decided that Paul and Barnabas and others of the church should go up
to Jerusalem and discuss the question with the apostles and elders.
22 Then the apostles and
elders, with the whole church, decided to choose delegates from among
themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas, known
as Barsabbas, and Silas, both leading men in the brotherhood,
23 and gave them this
letter to take with them: 'The apostles and elders, your brothers, send
greetings to the brothers of gentile birth in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia.
24 We hear that some
people coming from here, but acting without any authority from ourselves, have
disturbed you with their demands and have unsettled your minds;
25 and so we have
decided unanimously to elect delegates and to send them to you with our
well-beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 who have committed
their lives to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Accordingly we are
sending you Judas and Silas, who will confirm by word of mouth what we have
written.
28 It has been decided
by the Holy Spirit and by ourselves not to impose on you any burden beyond
these essentials:
29 you are to abstain
from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals
and from illicit marriages. Avoid these, and you will do what is right.
Farewell.'

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 66:2-3, 5-6, 8
2 sing psalms to the
glory of his name, glorify him with your praises,
3 say to God, 'How
awesome you are! 'Your achievements are the measure of your power, your enemies
woo your favour,
5 Come and see the
marvels of God, his awesome deeds for the children of Adam:
6 he changed the sea
into dry land, they crossed the river on foot. So let us rejoice in him,
8 Nations, bless our
God, let the sound of his praise be heard;
Second Reading
REVELATION 21:10-14,
22-23
10 In the spirit, he
carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the
holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.
11 It had all the glory
of God and glittered like some precious jewel of crystal-clear diamond.
12 Its wall was of a
great height and had twelve gates; at each of the twelve gates there was an
angel, and over the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of
Israel;
13 on the east there
were three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on
the west three gates.
14 The city walls stood
on twelve foundation stones, each one of which bore the name of one of the
twelve apostles of the Lamb.
22 I could not see any
temple in the city since the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb were themselves the
temple,
23 and the city did not
need the sun or the moon for light, since it was lit by the radiant glory of
God, and the Lamb was a lighted torch for it.
“The
Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
JOHN 14:23-29
23 Jesus replied: Anyone
who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come
to him and make a home in him.
24 Anyone who does not
love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not my own: it is
the word of the Father who sent me.
25 I have said these
things to you while still with you;
26 but the Paraclete,
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you
everything and remind you of all I have said to you.
27 Peace I bequeath to
you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my
gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
28 You heard me say: I
am going away and shall return. If you loved me you would be glad that I am
going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
29 I have told you this
now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
