 Earlier in October, Eliud Kipchoge broke the Two-Hour Marathon Barrier with a time of 1:59:40.
His achievement is a tremendous accomplishment and highlights his own individual ability, but it also speaks to the importance of training. And our training as Christians is just as intense sometimes as Eliud's was, just in a different way.

"Generously Grant to me, O Lord my God, Intelligence in knowing you, Diligence in seeking you, Wisdom in finding you, Conduct pleasing to you, Perseverance in trustingly awaiting you, And Trust in finally embracing you." Every day, we Dominican Friars of St. Dominic Priory, and guests who join us, celebrate the Mass together and encounter the one we worship, Jesus Christ, who multiplied fishes and loaves to feed the hungry, who healed countless people and who was crucified and rose from the dead.
We who gather believe that this same Jesus is radically present in the Eucharist - His Body and Blood, which he leaves for us to eat and drink so we can be more easily and quickly healed for eternal life with Him. We strive daily during Mass to invite Jesus more and more into our hearts to heal us and to become more like Him.  This past weekend, I attended and participated in the wedding of one of my best friends.
It was a beautiful wedding Mass. The music was gorgeous, friends from all over the country had arrived in town for it, and you could see the depth and breadth of the love my friend had for her soon-to-be husband. Also, in a moment of delicious irony, I was also wearing white on her wedding day since I was in my religious habit for the ceremony. |
