"Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them." ~Matthew 18:20 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Wherever there is true fellowship and love between people, God's spirit is always there, as the divine third. In all human relationships God's spirit is what brings them together. When a life is changed through the channel of another person, it is God, the divine third who always makes the change using the person as a means. The moving power behind all spiritual things, all personal relationships between people is God, the divine third, who is always present. No personal relationships can be entirely right without the presence of God's spirit. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may be used as a channel by God's spirit. I pray that I may know that God is always there to help me. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may choose the right. I pray that I may have God's blessing and direction in all my efforts for good. .=: 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 :=.
