From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "So we can say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?'" ~Hebrews 13:6 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We can make it a daily practice to review our character. We can take our character in relation to our daily life, to our dear ones, our friends, our acquaintances and our work. Each day we can try to see where God wants us to change. We can plan how best each fault can be eradicated or each mistake be corrected. We need never be satisfied with a comparison with those around us. We can strive toward a better life as our ultimate goal. God is our helper through weakness to power, through danger to security, through fear and worry to peace and serenity. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may make real progress toward a better life. I pray that I may never be satisfied with my present state. .=: 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 :=. Pat asks prayers for several intentions. Marge requests prayers for her daughter to find a teaching job close to home. JaniceMarie asks prayers for herself and family as the mediation of law suit takes place August 16th. Brian thanks God in prayer for helping him stay away from the unhealthy relationships that were draining him of his mental, emotional & spiritual wellbeing. 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! May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!
