From Father Pat Umberger
=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=.
"Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you through
prophecy with the laying on of hands by the council of elders.
Put these things into practice, devote yourself to them, so that all may see
your progress. Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching;
continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and
your hearers." ~1 Timothy 4:14-16
=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=.
Each day is a day of progress, steady progress forward, if we make it so. We
may not see it, but God does. God does not judge by outward appearance. God
judges by the heart. We can let God see in our heart a simple desire to
always do God's will. Though we may feel that our work has been spoiled or
tarnished, God can see it as an offering for God. When climbing a steep
hill, a person is often more conscious of the weakness of his stumbling feet
than of the view, the grandeur, or even of the upward progress.
=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=.
I pray that I may persevere in all good things. I pray that I may advance
each day in spite of my stumbling feet.

That the Holy Spirit will guide and help us to do His will and speak His
words. Rosemarie asks prayers for a special intention. Cherie requesting
prayers that her family have a wonderful weekend. Debbie needs help with the
family and financially.
Nancy from PA requests prayers for her daughter-in-law's stepfather who has
chosen jail time over rehab that he may come to realize he is an alcoholic
and seeks treatment. Denise requests prayers for a woman who lost her mother
this week. Linda requests prayers for her friend who struggling with
depression and also for their relationship that is undergoing many
difficulties. Amanda asks that she will make the right decision in her job
and future.
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

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,
