.=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. from Father Pat Umberger __________________________________________________ J O I N M E A great Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. 04-15 November 2007 Now is a great time to sign up! The brochure and full information, including hotel links, is on-line. We'll renew our Baptismal Promises at the Jordan River, where Jesus was Baptized by John. We'll renew our marriage vows and pray for any deceased husbands and wives at Cana in Galilee where Jesus attended a wedding with his Mother and turned water into wine. We'll take a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. We'll even have a chance to visit Masada and to swim in the Dead Sea. We'll visit the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem too, and see the Dead Sea Scrolls. You'll never read Scripture in the same way after this wonderful Pilgrimage! Follow the link from: www.frpat.com _________________________________________________ .=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "You must follow exactly the path that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you are to possess." ~Deuteronomy 5:33 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Our real work in life is to grow spiritually. To do this we can follow the path of diligently seeking good. The hidden spiritual wonders are revealed to those who diligently seek this treasure. From one point to the next, we can follow the way of obedience to God's will until finally we reach greater and greater spiritual heights. Work on the material plane can be secondary to our real life's work. The material things which we need most are those which help us to attain the spiritual. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may keep growing spiritually. I pray that I may make this my real life's work. .=: 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 :=.
