"Now, discipline always seems painful rather than pleasant at the time, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed." ~Hebrews 12:11-13 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. I can learn to accept self-discipline. I can try not to yield one point that I have already won. I need not let myself go in resentments, hates, fears, pride, lust or gossip. Even if my self-discipline keeps me separated from some people who are without discipline, nevertheless I can carry on. I may have different ways and a different standard of living than some others. I may be actuated by different motives than some people. But I can try to live the way I believe God wants me to live, no matter what others say. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may be an example to others of a better way of living. I pray that I may carry on in spite of hindrances and setbacks. .=: 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 :=. 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! May God Bless you and those you love, and keep you safe! Father Pat "Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10 Keep me in your prayers and know you're remembered in mine as well. May God continue to draw near to you and those you love and keep you safe! All the best and God Bless, Father Pat "Be still and know that I am God." ~Psalm 46:10 .................................................................. Fr.
