From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." ~Matthew 7:21 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. Character is developed by the daily discipline of duties done. We can be obedient to the heavenly vision and take the straight way. We need not fall into the error of calling "Lord, Lord," and doing not the things that should be done. We need a life of prayer and meditation, but we can still do our work in the busy ways of life. The busy person is wise to rest and wait patiently for God's guidance. If we are obedient to the heavenly vision, we can be at peace. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may be obedient to the heavenly vision. I pray if I fall, I will pick myself up and go on. .=: 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 :=.
