From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind-- just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you-- so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ." ~1 Corinthians 1:4-7 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. The grace of God is an assurance against all evil. It holds out security to the believing soul. The grace of God means safety in the midst of evil. We can be kept unspotted by the world through the power of God's grace. We can have a new life of power. But only in close contact with the grace of God in its power realized. In order to realize it and benefit from it, we can have daily quiet communion with God, so that the power of God's grace will come unhindered into your soul. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may be kept from evil by the grace of God. I pray that henceforth I will try to keep myself more unspotted by the world. .=: 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 :=.
