From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." ~John 17:3 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." Learning to know God as best we can helps us experience eternal life. Freed from some of the limitations of humanity, we can grow in things that are eternal. We can strive for what is real and of eternal value. The more we try to live in the consciousness of the unseen world, the gentler will be our passing into it when the time comes for us to go. This life on earth can be largely a preparation for the eternal life to come. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may live each day as though it were my last. I pray that I may live my life as though it were everlasting. .=: 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! May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe!
