A Runner’s Thoughts: “O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved, as to love.” (From the Prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi) A Runner’s Thoughts: If we chose to be a spiritual person, we could learn three things about ourselves. We can learn how to keep moving forward through whatever life throws at us. We can learn who we truly are, our best self. We can learn that we are never alone and always love because we have God moving with us!
A Runner’s Thoughts: Remember the living of life is a sacred act, sacred time. Sacred is a Latin word sacraficium, meaning to cut up, or sacrifice. If we want our life to be spiritual, we need to sacrifice time, energy, and comfort. It requires that we face life head on, live wholly in the present, taking on joy and suffering, savoring each emotion, every experience while offering it all to God. (Adapted from Roger Joslin)

A Runner’s Thoughts: As you begin your day, today or any day, take a moment to reflect on a sense of balance, a sense of energy, a sense of renewal that can result from your living of life today. Think of a moment when you felt God’s presence. Think of ways that you felt God presence. Now take that energy, that balance, that presence with you throughout the day!
A Runner’s Thoughts: To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. (Steve Prefontaine)
A Runner’s Thoughts: “The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today” (St. Francis Of Assisi)
