From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day." ~John 6:40 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Faith can be the bridge between us and God. It is not possible for all to be seen and known. We do not see or know directly, but we can experience the power of God's spirit through our faith. It is the bridge between us and God, which we can take or not, as we will. There could be no morality without free will. We can make the choice ourselves. We can make the venture of belief. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may choose and decide to cross the bridge of faith. I pray that by crossing this bridge I may receive the spiritual power I need. .=: 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 :=. A mother asks for prayers for her son who is going through a difficult time. A mother asks prayers for her son who is struggling to get a new business going that he not become discouraged and depressed. Mickey asks prayers for her niece who had her first baby today. 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 "Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10 Keep me in your prayers and know you're remembered in mine as well. May God continue to draw near to you and those you love and keep you safe! All the best and God Bless, Father Pat "Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10 .................................................................. Fr.
