From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God." ~Colossians 1:9 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We can persevere in all that God's guidance moves us to do. The persistent carrying out of what seems right and good can bring us to that place where we would be. If we look back over God's guidance, we can see that God's leading has been very gradual and that only as we have carried out God's wishes, as far as we can understand them, has God been able to give us more clear and definite leading. We can be led by God's touch on a quickened responsive mind. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may persevere in doing what seems right. I pray that I may carry out all of God's leading as far as I can understand it. .=: 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 :=.
