.=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. from Father Pat Umberger __________________________________________________ B A C K U P A N D R U N N I N G Morning Prayer is back up and running after severe list server problems and a web host and software developer pointing fingers at each other for weeks. Finally, I moved our lists to Freelists.org. Special thanks to John Madden for agreeing to host our lists. Freelists hosts only technology-related lists, so we'll increase our highlighting of technology a bit, too. If you have ideas, pleas send them to me! Service with Freelists should be better and faster. Subscribe/Unsubscribe information is slightly different, but will be included in each e-mail and at the Web Site. You can also set your account to Vacation mode. It's all done here: www.frpat.com/morningprayer.htm If you "unsubscribed" in the past few days there's a chance your e-mail address remained on the list, through a glitch in the old software that doesn't remove addresses until the next post is sent out. T E C H T I P F R O M F A T H E R P A T Secure sensitive information. On our Parish Web Site we include some information not to be seen by all. For example, phone numbers of Ministers, Knights of Columbus, etc. Some visitors have tried to access those documents and have encountered a "password" screen. There's no fancy trick to this, but it's not easy to figure out how to do it. Most webmasters have access to "Adobe Acrobat." The secret is to create an "Adobe Acrobat" password-protected document that can then be e-mailed or uploaded to your Web Site. Check this one to learn how. The password is simply password. Here's the link: www.frpat.com/documents/adobelock.pdf F A T I M A / L O U R D E S / S P A I N / L I S I E U X / P A R I S Nineteen are currently signed up. The brochure is now on-line!

"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." ~Matthew 11:28-30 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. The way sometimes seems long and wary. So many people today are weary. The weariness of others can often be shared by me. The weary and the heavy-laden, when they come to me, can be helped to find the rest that I have found. There is only one sure cure for world-weariness and that is turning to spiritual things. In order to help bring about the turning of the weary world to God, I can dare to suffer, dare to conquer selfishness in myself, and dare to be filled with spiritual peace in the face of all the weariness of the world. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may be a help to discouraged people. I pray that I may have the courage to help bring about what the weary world needs but does not know how to get. .=: 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.
