From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?" ~1 Corinthians 3:16 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We can gently breathe in God's spirit, that spirit which, if not barred out by selfishness, will enable us to do good works. This means rather that God can be enabled to do good works through us. We can become channels for God's spirit to flow through us and into the lives of others. The works that we can do will be limited only by our spiritual development. We can let our spirits be in harmony with God's spirit and there need be no limit to what we can do in the realm of human relationships. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may become a channel for God's spirit. I pray that God's spirit may flow through me into the lives of others. .=: 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 :=.
