Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another." ~Mark 9:50 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. I believe that in the spiritual world, as in the material world, there is no empty space. As fears and worries and resentments depart out of my life, the things of the spirit can come in to take their places. Calm comes after a storm. As soon as I am rid of fears and hates and selfishness, God's love and pace and calm can come in. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may rid myself of all fears and resentments, so that peace and serenity may take their place. I pray that I may sweep my life clean of evil, so that good may come in. .=: 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! 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 Keep me in your prayers and know you're remembered in mine as well. May God continue to draw near to you and those you love and keep you safe!
