@coquito..nothing wrong to taking a pilgrimage or going on a retreat. But this Gym work out stuff is nonsense. When souls are persishing! I don't believe we would have ever seen the Saints doing this form of exercise, building up the muscles, etc. Yea, just imagine seeing saints like St. john Vianney,. St. Benedict,.etc ...working out at the local gym...Get real...they had better things to do with their time...like saving souls.

Balance of the body mind and spirit. Saint Paul mentions that our body is the temple of God. A fit priest gives his community the example of perseverance discipline and respect to what his vocation askshim of. I personally admire our pastor of myparish whom takes hikes to serene places and on pilgrimages overseas, if he keeps his body fit we willhavea healthy priest almost every day. Amen to a fit lifestyle.
