From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." ~Matthew 6:20-21 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. The world wonders when it sees a person who can unexpectedly draw large and unsuspected sums from the bank for some emergency. But what the world has not seen is the countless small sums paid into that bank, earned by faithful work over a long time. And so it is with the bank of the spirit. The world sees the person of faith make a demand on God's stores of power and the demand is met. The world does not see what that person has been putting in, in thanks and praise, in prayer and communion, in small good deeds done faithfully, steadily over the years. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may keep making deposits in God's bank. I pray that I may always remember the reserve I have built up and the willingness of God to give me all that I need. .=: 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 :=. Sue asks prayers for her brother who is having problems with his elbows and is off work. Jim requests prayers for his daughter who is going through difficult financial and emotional struggles. Brian asks for prayer of support for his friend who has brain cancer. 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.
