.=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. from Father Pat Umberger __________________________________________________ G O I N G T O B O S T O N I'll be in Boston from 08-12 September for medical tests. My eye cancer was treated at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary ten years ago and I go back for annual checkups. In my absence Margie, our Pastoral Minister, will send Morning Prayer. Individual intentions will not appear during that time because prayers will be prepared in advance. Let's pray for one another's intentions during that time. I'll remember you and your intentions as I visit the many Churches of Boston! B A C K T O S C H O O L B L E S S I N G New Photos at the Web Site! This weekend we blessed everybody going back to School ... from kids to teachers, college and technical school students and teachers, administrators, lunch room workers, clerical staff, bus drivers, aides ... everybody.

From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We need not become encumbered by petty annoyances. We need not respond to emotional upsets by emotional upset. It is best for us to keep calm in all circumstances. We need not fight back. We can call on the grace of God to calm us when we feel like retaliating. We can look to God for the inner strength to drop those resentments that drag us down. If we are burdened by annoyances, we can lose our inward peace and the spirit of God can be shut out. We can try to keep peaceful within. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may do the things that make for peace. I pray that I may have a mission of conciliation. .=: 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 :=. Marge requests prayers for two NY State Troopers critically injured in an ambush. Miriam requests prayers for her oldest daughter who has turned her back on the faith. A member requests prayers for her child to receive a good MCAT score and acceptance into medical school. 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.
