From Father Pat Umberger =: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." ~Romans 15:13 =: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. The power of God's spirit is the greatest power in the universe. Our conquest of each other, the great kings and conquerors, the conquest of wealth, the leaders of the money society, all amount to very little in the end. But the one that conquers him or herself is greater than the one who conquers a city. Material things have no permanence. But God's spirit is eternal. Everything really worthwhile in the world is the result of the power of God's spirit. =: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may open myself to the power of God's spirit. I pray that my relationships with others may be improved by this spirit. .=: 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 :=.
