Pray for a Brother and His Team

Hello all,

I would like to reveal to you that I run cross country and track & field for the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).

On March 1-2, 2008, we will be competing in the Horizon League Indoor Track and Field Championships which will take place in Kent, Ohio.

This meet is one of the most important meets of the year, so I would like to ask you to please pray for me and for the team.

Please pray that I may “fight the good fight, and finish the race” AD MAJOREM DEI GLORIAM; that is, for the greater glory of God!!!! :)

MIL GRACIAS!!!

    Best of luck and prayers Jorge!

    Just looking at those still shots make me winded! I can’t understand how you do it (I don’t run uless a doberman is chasing me) but I do admire the tenacity!

    Thank you for the prayers, my brother!

    Don’t forget that physical activity is very important for a healthy life! So, if you are a sedentary person, get off the couch and start doing some exercise!

    Guilty as charged, Jorje. Back trouble has set me down for the past 4 years and it is time to get off the “couch.”

    How did you do today? or, how did our prayers do?

    Dear Father,

    The swimming pool is a great alternative for those who may have back problems like yourself.

    Water aerobics causes minimal stress on the joints and it is very safe for most people.

    If water aerobics is not your thing, then maybe you should try brisk walking.

    But always remember to check with your physician before engaging in any kind of exercise. :)

    About the race, I will be competing on March 1 & 2. That means that we still have the chance to pray some more!!!

    SAINT GEORGE, PRAY FOR US!
