From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "If I say, 'Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light around me become night,' even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you. For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed." ~Psalm 139:11-16 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Sunshine is the laughter of nature. We can live out in the sunshine. The sun and air are good medicine. Nature is a good nurse for tired bodies. We can let nature have her way with us. God's grace is like the sunshine. We can let our whole being be enwrapped in God's spirit. It can make glad the hearts of all of us. God's spirit can heal and cure the mind. We can let it have its way and know that all will be well! .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may live in the sunshine of God's spirit. I pray that my mind and soul may be energized by 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 :=.
