Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one." ~Matthew 6:9-13 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Hallowed be your name." What does that mean to us? Here "name" is used in the sense of "spirit." The words mean praise to God for his spirit in the world, making us better. We can be especially grateful for God's spirit, which can give us the strength to overcome all that is base in our lives. God's spirit is powerful. It can help us to live a conquering, abundant life. So we praise and thank God for the spirit in our lives and in the lives of others. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may be grateful for God's spirit in me. I pray that I may try to live in accordance with his 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 :=.
