From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." ~Mark 6:31 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. The spiritual life has two parts. One is the life apart, the life of prayer and quiet communion with God. We spend this part of our life apart with God. Every day our mind can be set in the right direction so that our thoughts will be of the right kind. The other is the life impart--imparting to others what we have learned from our own meditative experience. The victories we have won over ourselves through the help of God can be shared with others. we can help them by imparting to them some of the victory and security which we have gained in our life apart. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may grow strong from my times apart with God. I pray that I may pass on some of this strength to others. .=: 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 :=.
