-------Original Message------- From: Fr. Pat Umberger Date: 01/02/07 12:30:25 Subject: Friday, 19 January 2007 .=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. from Father Pat Umberger __________________________________________________ I N M E X I C O C I T Y I'll be in Mexico City and Guadalupe until late on the night of Friday, 19 January. Margie, our Pastoral Minister will send Morning Prayer in my absence. Since Morning Prayer has already been prepared, intentions will not be included during this time. If you need to "unsubscribe" during this time, just do so in the manner described at the bottom of each e-mail you receive. Keep us in your prayers. We'll remember your intentions in our daily prayers, at our daily Mass, at Guadalupe and the many Churches we'll visit in Mexico City, Guadalupe and the area. _________________________________________________ .=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God through us; for the rendering of this ministry not only supplies the needs of the saints but also overflows with many thanksgivings to God." ~2 Corinthians 9:10-12 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. I believe that God had already seen my heart's needs before I cried to God, before I was conscious of those needs myself. I believe that God was already preparing the answer. God does not have to be petitioned with sighs and tears and much speaking before God reluctantly looses the desired help. God has already anticipated our every want and need. I can try to see this, and humbly receive all that God has to offer me. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may understand my real wants and needs. I pray that my understanding of those needs and wants may help to bring the answer to them. .=: 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 :=. Intentions will not be included during our time in Mexico City. We've taken hundreds of intentions with us. Please remember them in your prayers. Be assured too, that we'll remember you and your intentions in our prayers, at our daily Mass, and in the many Churches we'll visit in Mexico City and the area. 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! .=: A D A I L Y B L E S S I N G :=. http://message.viditalk.com/ver12/showvideo.asp?vid=38058.65105 For a video blessing from Father Pat, just click the link above.
