Friday
of the Fifth Week of Easter
Deuteronomy, Chapter 10, Verse 12-13
12
Now, therefore, Israel, what does the LORD, your God,
ask of you but to FEAR the LORD, your
God, to follow in all his ways, to love and serve the LORD, your God, with your
whole heart and with your whole being, 13
to keep the commandments
and statutes of the LORD that I am commanding you today for your own
well-being?
What is meant by serving God?
Doing the will of God in all things which He requires of us, in whatever state of life we may be placed, and doing this with fidelity, with unwearied zeal, and out of love for Him. (Goffine’s Devout Instructions, 1896)
When we are bored and familiar with routine work, let us generously offer ourselves to the Lord for He indeed knows our needs and will take care of our well-being.
Fitness Friday-Water[1]
In order to prevent dehydration, anyone who exercises
(especially athletes) should drink water before, during, and after the workout.
The following tips can help ensure your body has the
hydration it requires for optimum exercise performance and recovery. These are
general guidelines and may need to be increased for high-intensity or endurance
activities or races.
If you are a serious athlete, you may want to weigh
yourself before and after workouts to keep track of your fluid losses. Doing so
will help you develop an individual hydration schedule.
Before Exercise
· Drink at 16 ounces of water about two to three hours before
exercising.
· Drink 8 ounces of water about 30 minutes before exercising.
During Exercise
· Drink 8 ounces of water every 15 to 30 minutes during exercise
· If exercising longer than 60 minutes, drink about 12 ounces
of a sports drink that contains a mixture of carbohydrates every 20 to 30
minutes.
After Exercise
· Drink 8 to 16 ounces of water 30 minutes after exercise.
· If you weighed yourself before exercise, weigh yourself
again and drink 16 to 24 ounces of water for every pound of body weight lost.
Throughout the Day
· Drink at least one-half to three-fourths of your body
weight in ounces of clean water throughout the entire day.
· Drink an additional 8 ounces of water for every cup of
soda, coffee, tea, or alcohol consumed. These beverages are acidic and
contribute to additional water loss in the body.
Important notes:
· The body can only utilize about 12-16 ounces of water at
one time. Thus, when rehydrating, drink 16 ounces of water every 30 to 60
minutes.
· Drink water BEFORE you get thirsty. When you feel thirsty,
you are already dehydrated. Thus, drink water regularly throughout the day.
· In preparation for a sports performance, the time to really
focus on proper hydration is the three days prior to the event.
Catechism
of the Catholic Church
PROLOGUE
I. The life of man - to know and love God
1 God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan
of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life.
For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He
calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls
together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family,
the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent
his Son as Redeemer and Savior. In his Son and through him, he invites men to
become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed
life.
2 So that this call should resound throughout the world,
Christ sent forth the apostles he had chosen, commissioning them to proclaim
the gospel: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to
the close of the age." Strengthened by this mission, the apostles
"went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and
confirmed the message by the signs that attended it."
3 Those who with God's help have welcomed Christ's call and
freely responded to it are urged on by love of Christ to proclaim the Good News
everywhere in the world. This treasure, received from the apostles, has been
faithfully guarded by their successors. All Christ's faithful are called to
hand it on from generation to generation, by professing the faith, by living it
in fraternal sharing, and by celebrating it in liturgy and prayer.
