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

Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/
" ... mercy came to us from the LORD, our God, who left us a remnant and
gave us a stake in his holy place; thus our God has brightened our eyes and
given us relief in our servitude." Ezra 9:5-9
"Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the good
news and curing diseases everywhere." Luke 9:1-6

Saints Cosmas and Damian (d. 303?)
The only thing we know about these Saints is that they were martyred in the
persecutions of Diocletian. According to legend they were twin brothers and
doctors born in Arabia. They have been venerated in the Eastern Church as
"moneyless ones" since they didn't charge for their services. They certainly
stood out from other people and were arrested and beheaded. Their names were
added to the Canon of the Mass, probably about the sixth century.
Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/
.=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=.
Jesus sent out his disciples saying, "Take nothing for the journey, neither
walking stick, nor sac, nor food, nor money ... " According to their story
Cosmas and Damian were physicians who didn't accept money for the care they
divided. When externals are stripped away people can see us as people of
faith and love. We are different from those who are attached to worldly
things.

I pray that I may know that my worth does not lie in what I own. I pray that
I can help build God's kingdom by the faithful and loving example I set.
