Blessed John of Vercelli (c. 1205-1283) 
John was born near Vercelli in northwest Italy in the early 13th century.
Little is known of his early life. He entered the Dominican Order in the
1240s and served in various leadership capacities over the years. Elected
sixth master general of the Dominicans in 1264, he served for almost two
decades. Known for his tireless energy and his commitment to simplicity,
John made personal visits-typically on foot-to almost all the Dominican
houses, urging his fellow friars to strictly observe the rules and
constitutions of the Order.  For more, click the link below:

"Give glory and eternal praise to him."  Daniel 3:82-87

Jesus said to his disciples: "Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy
from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day
catch you by surprise like a trap."  ~Luke 21:34-36

It's good for us to stay at the top of our game.  Sometimes we're distracted
by worldly things, selfishness, addictions or the anxieties of daily life.
We can focus ourselves once more, on the God who made us, who calls us, and
who redeems us.

.=: P R A Y E R    F O R    T H E    D A Y :=.

I pray that I may not be distracted by unworthy things, but focus on those
that will last.  I pray that when Jesus comes again in His glory, that I
will be waiting in joyful hope!

.=: 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!

May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!

Father Pat
