From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete." ~John 16:24 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Ask and you will receive." We need not let ourselves think that we cannot do something useful or that we never will be able to accomplish a useful task. The fact is that we can do practically anything in the field of human relationships, if we are willing to call on God's supply of strength. The supply may not be immediately available, because we may not be entirely ready to receive it, but it will surely come when we are properly prepared for it. As we grow spiritually, a feeling of being plentifully supplied by God's strength will possess us and we will be able to accomplish many useful things. =: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may claim God's supply of strength by my faith in God. I pray that I shall be given to me when I am ready to receive it. .=: 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 :=.
