From Father Pat Umberger .=: S A I N T O F T H E D A Y :=. St. Anthony Claret (1807-1870) Anthony was born in Salient, Spain in 1807. After being ordained a priest he traveled many years preaching to the people of Catalonia. He founded a society of missionaries, was named a bishop in Cuba, returned to Spain and continued to work for the Church. Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: S C R I P T U R E S F O R T H E D A Y := "Do not present the parts of your bodies to sin as weapons for wickedness, but present yourselves to God as raised from the dead to life and the parts of your bodies to God as weapons for righteousness." ~ Romans 6:12-18 "Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more." ~ Luke 12 39-48 Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. It is easy for us to see our own human weakness. When we see ourselves as primarily bad, we deny the power and grace God offers us. He has filled us with good things. We can use those gifts to bring about good. And "freed from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness." .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I can appreciate the many gifts God has entrusted to me. I pray that I may reject sin as I embrace the grace God offers me. .=: 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.
