.=: 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. Early Sign-up Discount Expires on 27 July. Sign up now and save $100! SAFETY. Gary from Pentecost Tours has no concerns about safety during this Pilgrimage. We'll be away from the West Bank and Gaza areas and will follow all local recommendations and regulations. If there is any danger we won't go to Jericho. If the trip is canceled by Pentecost Tours everyone will receive a full refund. Gary says it's safer than travel to many other countries we've visited, and even through this country. As Charlie, one of our veteran travelers puts it, I'd rather spend two weeks in Israel than drive downtown in Cincinnati. Nothing against Cincinnati at all, that's just where he lives. 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 :=. "O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand." ~Isaiah 64:8 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We can expect miracles of change in people's lives. We need not be held back by unbelief. People can be changed and they are often ready and waiting to be changed. We need never believe that human nature cannot be changed. We can see changed people every day. Do we have the faith to make those changes possible? Modern miracles happen every day in the lives of people. Miracles are often in the realm of personalities. Human nature can be changed and is always being changed. We can have enough faith so that we can be channels for God's strength into the lives of others. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may have the faith to expect miracles. I pray that I may be used by God to help change 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 :=. Maureen asks prayers for two friends who are spiritually lost. Gwen asks prayers for her brother-in-law to have peaceful and comfort days ahead due to cancer. John asks prayers for co-workers who are preparing for a leadership retreat. Pat asks prayers for sale of land. Brian requests prayers for his friend whose husband was called home to The Lord, and for their grieving family and friends. Pat requests prayers for the repose of the soul of someone who died yesterday, and the souls of all the faithful departed. 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!
