From Father Pat Umberger .=: S C R I P T U R E F O R T H E D A Y :=. "Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received." ~1 Peter 4:10 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. We can try to be thankful for whatever vision we have. We can try to perform, in the little things, faithful service to God and others. We can do our small part every day in a spirit of service to God. We can be doers of God's word, not hearers only. In our daily life we can try to keep faith with God. Every day can bring a new opportunity to be of some use. Even when we are tempted to rest or let things go or to evade the issue, we can make it a habit to meet the issue squarely as a challenge and not to hold back. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may perform each task faithfully. I pray that I may meet each issue of life squarely and not hold back. .=: 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! .=: A D A I L Y B L E S S I N G :=. http://message.viditalk.com/ver12/showvideo.asp?vid=38058.65105 For a video blessing from Father Pat, just click the link above.
