Encourage them to Subscribe to Morning Prayer!
If you enjoy Morning Prayer, why not forward a copy to family members and
friends. Many seem to enjoy the new format. Some say that they like to
attend Daily Mass, but cannot always do so. Morning Prayer keeps them in
touch with the daily Scriptures and Saint of the day. Not all priests preach
on all weekdays. Morning Prayer provides a short reflection and a concrete
way to apply Scriptures to our lives. Clergy too, appreciate the simple
ideas found in both Morning Prayer and This Weekend. Family members and
friends can learn more by following the banner link from: www.frpat.com

We have a minor Saint today, St. Elzear (1286-1323) along with Blessed
Delphina (1283-1358)
This is the only Franciscan couple to be canonized or beatified formally.
Both joined the Secular Franciscans and dedicated themselves to the corporal
works of mercy.

They completed the temple of God and ate the Passover. How fortunate we are
to have beautiful Churches to honor God. How fortunate we are when we come
to understand that we are the real Church, the Body of Christ here on Earth.
How fortunate we are when we establish close relationships within our
Parishes. As Jesus says, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the
word of God and act on it."

I pray that I may see myself as part of the Body of Christ. I pray that I
can hear the word of God and act on it.
