Virtue in sports
TKC!
“Athletic competition develops some of the noblest qualities and talents in people. They must learn the secret of their own bodies, their strengths and weaknesses, their struggles and breaking points. They must develop the capacity to concentrate and the habit of self-discipline through long hours of exercise and fatigue as they learn to take account of their own strength. They must also learn how to preserve energy for the final moment when victory will depend upon a burst of speed or a last push of strength.” St. John Paul II
Whether it is running a marathon, playing tennis or any other sport, there is always a tremendous opportunity to grow in virtue, that will impact other aspects of your life.
God bless,

Build each other up!
“The real great man is the man who makes every man feel great.” C.S. Lewis
I am blessed to live in a community of priests who build each other up, rejoice with each others successes, and truly care. Special team!
God bless,

Too competitive?
Understanding others
“If you do not understand a man you cannot crush him. And if you do understand him, you probably will not.” C.S. Lewis

Miracles
“The most incredible thing about miracles is that they happen. …there is in life an element of elfin coincidence which people on the prosaic may perpetually miss. …wisdom should not reckon on the unforeseen.” C.S. Lewis
Has God performed a few miracles in your life??
