We visit Pilate's Judgment Hall, the Chapel of Flagellation, Lithostrotos, the Arch of Ecce Homo ("Behold the Man") and the Convent of the Sisters of Zion. Ewe prayerfully follow the Via Dolorosa (Way of the Cross) through the Old City to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre where we pray on the top of the Rock of Calvary and inside the Lord's tomb. Keep us in your prayers and know you're very much in ours as well! I N T H E H O L Y L A N D I'm leading a Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and will return late on Thursday, 15 November. Margie, our Pastoral Minister will be sending Morning Prayer in my absence. No prayer intentions will be accepted at this time, since Morning Prayer has already been prepared. Be assured that we'll remember your intentions in our prayers, during our Daily Masses and in the many important Churches we'll visit. Please "Subscribe" and "Unsubscribe" in the way described at the bottom of this e-mail, since I won't have regular Internet access in the Holy Land. _________________________________________________ .=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=.

For, I tell you, none of those men who where invited will taste my dinner." ~ Luke 14:15-24 Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "I might be out of town that day." Many of us avoid getting involved by having some ready excuses. The invitations we receive may be coming from God. We may face the same fate as those in today's Gospel parable about those invited to "dine in the Kingdom of God." .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that my love for others may be sincere. I pray that I may be ready to abandon my excuses and say "yes" when I'm invited to do something good for God. .=: W E P R A Y :=. 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!
