From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "As for that in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance." ~Luke 8:15 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. The laws of nature cannot be changed and must be obeyed if we are to stay healthy. No exceptions can be made in our case. We can submit to the laws of nature or they will finally break us. And in the realm of the spirit, in all human relationships, we can submit to the moral laws and to the will of God. If we continue to break the laws of honesty, purity, unselfishness and love, we can be broken to some extent ourselves. The moral and spiritual laws of God, like the laws of nature, are unbreakable without some disaster. If we are dishonest, impure, selfish and unloving, we are not living according to the laws of the spirit and we may suffer the consequences. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may submit to the laws of nature and to the laws of God. I pray that I may live in harmony with all the laws of 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 :=.
