"If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear." ~Mark 4:23 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "He that has eyes to see, let him see." To the seeing eye, the world is good. We can pray for a seeing eye, to see the purpose of God in everything good. We can pray for enough faith to see God's care in God's dealings with us. We can try to see how God has brought us safely through our past life so that now we can be of use in the world. With the eyes of faith we can see God's care and purpose everywhere. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may have a seeing eye. I pray that with the eye of faith, I may see God's purpose everywhere. .=: 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! .=: 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.
