A great Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

Now is a great time to sign up! The brochure and full information, including

We'll renew our Baptismal Promises at the Jordan River, where Jesus was
Baptized by John. We'll renew our marriage vows and pray for any deceased
husbands and wives at Cana in Galilee where Jesus attended a wedding with
his Mother and turned water into wine. We'll take a boat ride on the Sea of
Galilee. We'll even have a chance to visit Masada and to swim in the Dead
Sea. We'll visit the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem too, and see the Dead Sea
Scrolls. You'll never read Scripture in the same way after this wonderful
Pilgrimage! Follow the link from: www.frpat.com

"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will
never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child
is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child
in my name welcomes me." ~Matthew 18:3-5
.=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=.
"Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will
never enter the kingdom of heaven." In this saying it is urged that all who
seek heaven on earth or in the hereafter should become like little children.
In seeking things of the spirit and in our faith, we can try to become
childlike. Even as we grow older, the years of seeking can give us the
attitude of the trusting child. Not only for its simple trust should we
have the childlike spirit, but also for its joy in life, its ready laughter,
its lack of criticism, and its desire to share. In the Charles Dickens
story, "A Christmas Carol," even old Scrooge changed when he got the
child-spirit.

I pray that I may become like a child in faith and hope. I pray that I may,
like a child, be friendly and trusting.

Debbie requests prayers for the healing of a friend who has had a
reoccurrence of breast cancer.
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!
