A Runner’s Thoughts: “Active waiting for the Lord means not allowing ourselves to be lulled into purely private interests in our homes, but donating our attention, time and talents. It implies sharing our strengths and accepting our weaknesses in our parishes, schools, community work and in society at large.” (Joseph Cardinal Bernardin)

A Runner’s Thoughts: The reading for morning prayer today struck me as good advice as we begin our day – you might say it give us much food for thought! “Never let evil pass your lips; say only good things people need to hear, things that will really help them. Do nothing that will sadden the Holy Spirit with whom you were sealed against the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, all passion and anger, harsh words, slander, and malice of every kind. In place of these, be kind to one another, compassionate, and mutually forgiving just as God has forgiven you in Christ.” (Ephesians 4:29-32)
A Runner’s Thoughts: On this Feast of the Passion of St. John the Baptist we might ask ourselves – “Herod’s choosing appearance over substance, over truth, is an invitation to all of us to reflect on the voices to which we listen in our everyday lives.” (Sr. Chris Koellhoffer, IHM)

A Runner’s Thoughts: “May the Passion of Jesus Christ be always in our hearts!”
A Runner’s Thoughts: “Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” (St. Francis Of Assisi)
A Runner’s Thoughts: “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
A Runner’s Thoughts: “Be mindful. Be grateful. Be positive. Be true. Be kind.”
(Roy T. Bennett) A Runner’s Thoughts: “Sweat cleanses from the inside. It comes from places a shower will never reach.” (George Sheehan) We might say that prayer is the sweat of the spiritual life and it too cleanses from within and it touches places no rituals can reach. So, if we take the time to pray each day, we can cleanse our total self!
