"'May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers.' For the sake of my relatives and friends I will say, 'Peace be within you.' For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good." ~Psalm 122:6-9 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. I believe that God's presence can bring peace and that peace, like a quiet-flowing river, can cleanse all irritants away. In these quiet times, God can teach me how to rest my nerves. I need not be afraid. I can learn how to relax. When I am relaxed, God's strength can flow into me. I can be at peace. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray for that peace which passes all understanding. I pray for that peace which the world can neither give nor take away. .=: 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 :=.
