Boston Marathon

“Sport, rightly understood, is an occupation of the whole person, and while perfecting the body as an instrument of the mind, it also makes the mind itself a more refined instrument for the search and communication of truth”. Venerable Pope Pius XII

Joy

“Joy is the echo of God’s life within us.” Blessed Columba Marmion
The gift of joy
Jealousy

“God has given different gifts for different people. There is no basis for feeling inferior to another who has a different gift. Once it is realized that we shall be judged by the gift we have received, rather than the gift we have not, one is completely delivered from a false sense of inferiority.” Venerable Fulton Sheen
Fan your gifts into a flame!
My latest poem

Battles ahead…conflict looming?
Darkness and dread…glum and glooming?
Flying solo? Who’s your wingman?
You need the glow…with Christ! Cling, man!!
He’s your brother, friend and greatest fan!
Lean into Him and trust in His plan!!
Divine Mercy Sunday
Heavenly hope!

“The trouble with our times is that we focus on the temporal, rather than the eternal.” Venerable Fulton Sheen
