.=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. from Father Pat Umberger __________________________________________________ I'll be out of town until Monday, so here's Monday's Morning Prayer! Have a good 4th of July Weekend, Father Pat Fatima / Lourdes/ Spain /France 2006 NUMBER OF SEATS DRASTICALLY REDUCED AFTER MONDAY There is still time to sign up for our October 2006 Pilgrimage to Lourdes, Fatima and Spain. Still, seats need to be surrendered to the airline this coming Monday, 03 July and the number of seats will be drastically reduced after that. If nobody else signs up before then, we'll have only four more reserved seats after Monday. If more are signed up then it may be possible to hold onto another seat or two. Our absolute capacity though, is 50. It may be possible to procure several more at a later date, but with a re-negotiated air fare. The price of this 12-day Pilgrimage is $2999, plus tips and taxes. You will need to make payment arrangements before Pentecost Tours closes on Monday in order to hold these seats. If you're planning to join us, please let me know by e-mail. And then CALL PENTECOST TOURS and make arrangements: 1 800 713-9800 As always, the Pilgrimage Brochure, map of our travels, links to our Hotels and much more are available at my Web Site.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." ~Matthew 5:6 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Only in the fullness of faith can the heart-sick and faint and weary be satisfied, healed, and rested. We can think of the wonderful spiritual revelations still to be found by those who are trying to live the spiritual life. Much of life is spiritually unexplored country. Only to the consecrated and loving people who walk with God in spirit can these great spiritual discoveries be revealed. We can keep going forward and keep growing in righteousness. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may not be held back by the material things of the world. I pray that I may let God lead me forward. .=: 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 :=. 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.
