From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication." ~Ephesians 6:18 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Spirit-power comes from communication with God in prayer and times of quiet meditation. I can constantly seek spirit-communication with God. This is a matter between me and God, but can be enhanced by my relationships with other believers. From this communication can come life, joy, peace and healing. Many people do not realize the power that can come to them from direct spirit-communication. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may feel that God's power is mine. I pray that I may be able to face anything through that power. .=: 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 :=.
