From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life." ~John 6:63 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Our lives are God's gift. We use our lives to train our souls. This life we live is not so much for the body as for the spirit. We often choose the way of life that best suits the body, not the way that best suits the spirit. God wants us to choose what suits the spirit as well as the body. When we accept this belief, a wonderful molding of charter is the result. When we reject it and God's purpose for our life is frustrated, our spiritual progress is delayed. Our souls are being trained by the good we choose. Thus the purpose of our lives is being accomplished as we choose good. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may choose what is good for my spirit. I pray that I may realize God's purpose for my life and choose good. .=: 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 :=.
