"No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lamp stand, so that those who enter may see the light." ~Luke 8:16 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "No one after lighting a lamp hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lamp stand, so that those who enter may see the light." The glory of the Lord shines in the beauty of our character. It is risen in us, even though we can realize it only in part. "Now you see as in a glass darkly, but later we will see face to face." The glory of the Lord is too dazzling for mortals to see fully on earth. But some of God's glory is risen in us when we try to reflect that light in our lives. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may try to be a reflection of God's light. I pray that some of its rays may shine in my life. .=: 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 :=. Mary requests prayers for her mom who is 88 and had serious surgery, which affected her heart. We pray for unity in our country and that we may build a Culture of Life.
