.=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. from Father Pat Umberger __________________________________________________ H O L Y L A N D 2 0 0 7 Join us on this wonderful 04-15 November Pilgrimage! We have a brochure for our November 2007 Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Imagine walking where Jesus walked, following the route of the real Stations of the Cross, visiting the Tomb of Christ and his birthplace as well, renewing Baptismal Promises at the Jordan River, renewing Marriage vows or praying for a deceased spouse at Cana in Galilee. We'll stay at only two Hotels this time, the Grand Court in Jerusalem (near the old City) and the Gai Beach Spa Hotel in Tiberias, right on the Sea of Galilee. It's beautiful! As always full breakfast and dinner is included, along with luggage transfer, admissions, transfers and much more. Gary says their Holy Land Guides are the best! Visit my Web Site for complete details. You can sign up any time now, and we expect this one to fill up quickly. Gary says the Holy Land has been their most popular destination!

I wrote them for kids and adults alike, in English and Spanish as well. Just follow the link from: www.frpat.com _________________________________________________ .=: 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 :=. "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." ~Romans 12:21 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. The spiritual and moral will eventually overcome the material and immoral. That is the purpose and destiny of the human race. Gradually the spiritual can overcome the material in our minds. Gradually the moral can overcome the immoral. Faith, fellowship and service are cures for most of the ills of the world. There is nothing in the field of personal relationships that they cannot do. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may do my share in making a better world. I pray that I may be part of the cure for the ills of the world. .=: 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 :=. JP asks prayers for friend suffering from cancer that news from upcoming tests will give hope for him and his family. Jo asks prayers that God will keep her in good health and strong in spirit to continue caring for her invalid husband. A mother asks prayers for her daughter with special needs. Evelyn asks prayers for her cousin who was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. Alvina asks prayers for a special intention. Helen needs to find car documents immediately. 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!
