Margie, our Pastoral Minister will send Morning Prayer in my absence. Since Morning Prayer has already been prepared, intentions will not be included during this time. If you need to "unsubscribe" during this time, just do so in the manner described at the bottom of each e-mail you receive. Keep us in your prayers. We'll remember your intentions in our daily prayers, at our daily Mass, at Guadalupe and the many Churches we'll visit in Mexico City, Guadalupe and the area. _________________________________________________ ..=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. From Father Pat Umberger ..=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it. Turn my heart to your decrees, and not to selfish gain. Turn my eyes from looking at vanities; give me life in your ways." ~Psalm 119:35-37 ..=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. I can learn to overcome myself, because every blow to selfishness is used to shape the real, eternal, imperishable me. As I overcome myself, I can gain that power which God releases in my soul. And I too can be victorious. It is not the difficulties of life that I have to conquer, so much as my own selfishness. ..=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may obey God and walk with God and listen to God. I pray that I may strive to overcome my own selfishness. ..=: 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 :=. Intentions will not be included during our time in Mexico City. We've taken hundreds of intentions with us. Please remember them in your prayers. Be assured too, that we'll remember you and your intentions in our prayers, at our daily Mass, and in the many Churches we'll visit in Mexico City and the area. 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.
