The brochure and full information, including hotel links, is on-line. We'll renew our Baptismal Promises at the Jordan River, where Jesus was Baptized by John. We'll renew our marriage vows and pray for any deceased husbands and wives at Cana in Galilee where Jesus attended a wedding with his Mother and turned water into wine. We'll take a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. We'll even have a chance to visit Masada and to swim in the Dead Sea. We'll visit the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem too, and see the Dead Sea Scrolls. You'll never read Scripture in the same way after this wonderful Pilgrimage! Follow the link from: www.frpat.com _________________________________________________ .=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today." ~Matthew 6:34 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Its best for us not to think of the Red Sea of difficulties that lies ahead. We can be sure that when we come to that Red Sea, the waters will part and we will be given all the power we need to face and overcome many difficulties and meet what is in store for us with courage. We can believe that we will pass through that Red Sea to the promised land, the land of the spirit where many souls meet in perfect comradeship. We can believe that when that time comes, we will be freed of influence of material things and find peace. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may face the future with courage. I pray that I may be given strength to face both life and death fearlessly. .=: S C R I P T U R E S A N D S A I N T O F T H E D A Y := Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: W E P R A Y :=.
