     From Father Pat Umberger

.  S C R I P T U R E   F O R   T H E   D A Y  .

Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one's
nearest kin.   ~Proverbs 18:24

.  M E D I T A T I O N   F O R   T H E   D A Y  .

What is sometimes called by religion as conversion is often only the
discovery of God as a friend in need.  What is sometimes called religion is
often only the experiencing of the help and strength of God's power in our
lives.  What is sometimes called holiness is often only the invitation of
God to be our friend.  As God becomes our friend, we can become a friend to
others.  We experience true human friendship and from this experience we can
imagine what kind of a great friend God can be.  We can believe God to be a
tireless, selfless, all conquering, miracle-working friend.  We can reach
out to the Great Friend and figuratively take God's hand in ours.

.  P R A Y E R   F O R   T H E   D A Y  .

I pray that I may think of God as a Great Friend in need.  I pray that I may
go along with God.

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!
