St. Paulinus of Nola (354?-431) 
Anyone who is praised in the letters of six or seven saints undoubtedly must
be of extraordinary character. Such a person was Paulinus of Nola,
correspondent and friend of Augustine, Jerome, Melania, Martin, Gregory and
Ambrose. 
Born near Bordeaux, he was the son of the Roman prefect of Gaul, who had
extensive property in both Gaul and Italy. Paulinus became a distinguished
lawyer, holding several public offices in the Roman Empire. With his Spanish
wife, Therasia, he retired at an early age to a life of cultured leisure.

Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me, but he
said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you,
for power is made perfect in weakness." I will rather boast most gladly of
my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. ~2
Corinthians 12:1-10

And he said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I
must be in my Father's house?" But they did not understand what he said to
them. ~Luke 2:41-51

When we feel strong, when things seem to be going well, then we can forget
to depend on God.  We are truly the strongest in every way when we
acknowledge our dependence on God, that the power of Christ may dwell with
us. We don't need to understand, just depend.

.=: P R A Y E R    F O R    T H E    D A Y :=.

I pray that I may face life not alone, but with God.  I pray that I may
never forget to depend on the God who is my constant strength.

.=: 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!

May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!

Father Pat

      "Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10
