“Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.” G.K. Chesterton
What are you feeding your soul? God’s grace and his love as the fruit of daily prayer and a strong Sacramental life?…trust me, you will last longer, perform better and run smoother over a long period of time!
God bless,

“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.

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!

“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??

“We become taller when we bow.” C.S. Lewis
Do you believe and acknowledge the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist? Do you show it through a fervent genuflection?

“And there, right in the middle of it, I find ‘Forgive us our sins as we forgive those that sin against us.’ There is no slightest suggestion that we are offered forgiveness on any other terms. It is made perfectly clear that if we do not forgive we shall not be forgiven.” G.K. Chesterton
God forgives so much in our lives…do we reciprocate in forgiving others?
“Joy is one of the best safeguards against temptation. The devil is a carrier of dust and dirt; he uses every chance to throw what he has at us. A joyful heart knows how to protect herself from such dirt. Jesus can take full possession of our soul only if it surrenders itself joyfully.” –St. Teresa of Calcutta

“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” Abraham Lincoln
I strongly recommend this book to parents. I thank God for the gift of a mom and dad who instilled the virtue of “grit” in me from an early age…we all need to “fan our gifts into a flame” for God’s glory!

“God knows our situation; He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them.” C.S. Lewis
Sometimes the best prayer are tears and a cry for help…God knows and sees everything, but he wants us to keep going and lean more into him when it gets tough!
God bless,
