From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!" ~Psalm 71:12 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. I can work for God, with God and through God's help. By helping to bring about a true fellowship of human beings, I am working for God. I am also working with God because this is the way God works, and God is with me when I am doing such work. I cannot do good work, however, without God's help. In the final analysis, it is through the grace of God that any real change in human personality takes place. I can rely on God's power, and anything I accomplish is through God's help. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may work for God and with God. I pray that I may be used to change human personalities through God's help. .=: 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 :=.
