A Runner’s Thoughts: “Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.” (Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ)
A Runner’s Thoughts: “We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become. If we love things, we become a thing. If we love nothing, we become nothing. Imitation is not a literal mimicking of Christ, rather it means becoming the image of the beloved, an image disclosed through transformation. This means we are to become vessels of God's compassionate love for others.” (St. Clare of Assisi)

A Runner’s Thoughts: Let us live life today with a spirit of gratefulness. Before we set out on our journey through this day let us declare our intention to look upon all we encounter with the freshness of the unexpected. Let us live life today with a sense of miraculous expectation and allow a feeling of gratitude for the extraordinary and the ordinary to flow through our being. (Adapted from Roger Joslin – Running the Spiritual Path)
A Runner’s Thoughts: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson) Can’t this thought be found in how Jesus is asking us to live? – Have a blessed day!

A Runner’s Thoughts: If you happened to catch The Sunday Mass today on TV or on our website, a few years ago, Fr. Paul Ruttle, C.P. opened his homily by asking the congregation what 1+1+1 equals. One of the young high school students in the congregation yelled out 3! Fr. Paul said on any other day, at any other time you would be right but today you are wrong, because today 1+1+1=1. The person of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit equal one God.
You might say we are not using, new math or old math, we are using Faith math! Happy Trinity Sunday! A Runner’s Thoughts: “Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what is still possible to do.” (St. John XXIII)
