"I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~Romans 8:38-39 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We need never doubt that God's spirit is always with us, wherever we are, to keep us on the right path. God's keeping power is never at fault, only our realization of it. We can try to believe in God's nearness and the availability of God's grace. It is not a question of whether God can provide a shelter from the storm, but of whether or not we will seek the security of that shelter. Every fear, worry or doubt keeps us farther from God. We can endeavor to trust God wholly. We can practice saying: "All is going to be well." We can say it to ourselves until we feel it deeply. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may feel deeply that all is well. I pray that nothing will be able to move me from that deep conviction. .=: 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.
