“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. You shall never use foul language when a ref makes a crummy call or fake the number of laps you run at track practice.”
OK, maybe those aren’t Jesus’ exact words. But we know he commends self-control, hard work, good sportsmanship and other qualities possessed by athletes strong in body and soul. And if God Incarnate decided to dwell among us in the 21st century, it’s not hard to imagine he’d dribble down a basketball court or sprint across a soccer field. Our Lord evangelizes in creative ways, after all.
