Your love must be sincere. Detest what is evil, cling to what is good. Love one another with the affection of brothers and sisters. Anticipate each other in showing respect...Rejoice in hope, be patient under trial, persevere in prayer. (Romans 12:9-12)

A Runner’s Thoughts: “You have been told, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you: Only to do the right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)
A Runner’s Thoughts: “Let your love for one another be constant, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be mutually hospitable without complaining. As generous distributors of God’s Manifold grace, put your gifts at the service of one another, each in the measure you have received.” (1 Peter 4:8-9)
A Runner’s Thoughts: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
(Eleanor Roosevelt) A Runner’s Thoughts: “Faith, like active prayer is a grace. For prayer, when activated by love through the power of the Spirit, renders true faith manifest – the faith that reveals the life of Jesus.” (St. Gregory of Sinai)
A Runner’s Thoughts: We need to always remember that there are different forms of prayer, of communication with God and that they are possible in everything we do. So, let us make our living of life this day to be a prayer – a prayer of thanksgiving, a prayer of petition or intercession, a prayer of praise, a prayer of struggle, or a prayer seeking help or perhaps just a prayer that says hello God how are you today?
A Runner’s Thoughts: St. Teresa of Calcutta saw Christ in the face of everyone she met; Is it possible to live life in a way that models her behavior? Perhaps, as we journey through life today, we might try placing a smile on our face and through it offer a blessing to everyone we meet!
A Runner’s Thoughts: Shakespeare once wrote, “Now bid me run, and I will strive with things impossible.” Jesus said, “…with God all things are possible.” Thus, if we live life with God then as we strive with things impossible, they will become possible!
A Runner’s Thoughts: “Always speak and act as people destined for judgment under the law of freedom. Merciless is the judgment on the person who has not shown mercy; but mercy triumphs over judgment.” (James 2:12) A Runner's Thoughts: “The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person’s determination.” (Tommy Lasorda)
