From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground." ~Psalm 104:30 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Worship can be consciousness of God's divine majesty. As we pause to worship, God can help us experience God's divinity. The earth is filled with God's presence. God can give to us a divine power, a divine love and a divine healing. We can open our minds to God and try to absorb some of God's divine spirit. Pausing quietly in the spirit of worship, we can turn our inward thoughts to God and realize that God's divine power may be ours, that we can experience God's love and healing. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may worship God by sensing the eternal spirit. I pray that I may experience a new power 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 :=.
