Keep me in your prayers, and know you'll be remembered in mine as well. I'll remember your intentions remembered at Guadalupe, daily Mass and during visits to the many Churches of Mexico City. Since Morning Prayer is already prepared, Prayer Intentions will not be included with Morning Prayer during this time. Margie, our Pastoral Minister, will send Morning Prayer in my absence. You cannot e-mail Margie by replying to this e-mail, but may do so by e-mailing marge@xxxxxxxxxxx If you'd like to "unsubscribe" during this time, just follow the directions at the bottom of this e-mail. I cannot do it for you during this time away. _________________________________________________ .=: M O R N I N G P R A Y E R :=. From Father Pat Umberger .=: S A I N T O F T H E D A Y :=. 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 := Jesus came to Capernaum with his followers, and on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. ~Mark 1:21-28 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 :=. In school we have encountered many teachers. Some seem to read their notes to us, but others seem to have taken their subject into themselves and teach from their very hearts. Jesus taught in that way, because he was the living Word of God made flesh. We can learn from him, and take his Word into our hearts as well. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may take the Word of God into my heart. I pray that I may "live" the Word of God naturally and effectively, drawing ever more people closer to Him. .=: 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 __________________________________________________ <MP>Morning Prayer is free, and comes from: Father Pat Umberger, a priest of the Diocese of La Crosse in Wisconsin U.S.A.

Please leave these credits when doing so. Newly written each day by Father Pat Umberger. Morning Prayer may not be published by others, but is a good resource for preachers and those who attend Daily Mass, and those who would like to keep up with the Lectionary Readings and are not always able to attend Daily Mass. .=: C H A N G E Y O U R S U B S C R I P T I O N :=.
