Holy Goals for Body and Soul links lessons from the world of sports and fitness, especially the experiences of a Catholic bishop who plays ice hockey, with concrete ways to live a holy life. In Bishop Paprockis view, everyone is called to holiness and holiness can be encountered anywhere. These eight steps help the reader navigate a life of holiness: Fear - The beginning of any new situation brings anxiety and fear. What can you learn from athletics?; Frustration - Succeeding in sport is challenging. Despite any frustrations, you can succeed if you dont give up!; Failure - Roadblocks to success are inherent in athletics. How can you deal with failure?; Fortitude - Here is a God-given virtue to give you the strength to face the challenges of sports (and life).; Faith - Success requires confidence. Confidence grows with faith. Real success comes from gratefully accepting the gifts God has given to you.; Friendship - Participating in sports is a great way to make friends and to learn how to work together.; Family - Family life is the first team sport. How you work and play together with those closest to you will teach you lessons to last a lifetime.;
Fun - Do you live your life only to win or do you pause to enjoy Gods great gifts? Can you do both? Certainly you can!
