From Father Pat Umberger =: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Jesus said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves." ~Mark 6:31-32 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We can be constantly recharged by the power of the spirit of God. We can commune with God in quiet times until the life from God, by that very contact, flows into our being and revives our fainting spirit. When weary, we can take time out and rest. We can rest and gain power and strength from God, and then we can be ready to meet whatever opportunities come our way. We can rest until every care and worry and fear have gone, and then the tide of peace and serenity, love and joy, can flow into our consciousness. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may rest and become recharged. I pray that I may pause and wait for the renewing of my strength. .=: 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 :=.
