Stations of the Cross in English and Spanish illustrated by Saint Pat's
School 4th Graders. You'll find materials on Reconciliation, an Examination
of Conscience and even a Credit Card to Heaven.  Lenten regulations are
there too, along with a complete schedule of Services and Activities.  Be
sure to visit our ON-LINE STATIONS OF THE CROSS.  I've written them for
children and adults alike.  They've been newly illustrated this year by the
4th Graders at our own Saint Patrick's School and are available in English
and Spanish as well.

"All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.  For you did not
receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a
spirit of adoption. When we cry, 'Abba! Father!'"  ~Romans
8:14-15

.=:  M E D I T A T I O N   F O R   T H E   D A Y  :=.

God's spirit is all around us all day long.  We have no thoughts, no plans,
no impulses, no emotions that God doesn't know about.  We can hide nothing
from God.  We need not make our conduct conform only to that of the world.
We need not depend on the approval or disapproval of others.  God sees in
secret, but God rewards openly.  If we are in harmony with God, doing our
best to live the way we believe God wants us to live, we can be at peace.

.=: P R A Y E R   F O R   T H E   D A Y  :=.

I pray that I may always feel God's presence.  I pray that I may live in
God's presence all day long.

Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ 

.=: W E     P R A Y  :=.

Betty asks prayers for a special intention. Jane requests prayers for her
daughter who is thinking about leaving the Catholic Church. Bill requests
prayers to make the right decision concerning cancer treatment.

Marilyn asks prayers for a special intention. Ana requests prayers for a
priest who passed away last week after a brief illness.

We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life. We
pray for the safety of our troops, their safe return and their families at
home.  We pray for a deep and profound respect for life, and for the courage
and willingness to stand up for life. We pray for one another, for those who
have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most. Have a
good day!

May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!

Father Pat
