Warmorama to Kyrie Eleison
Opening Speech: Men, we’re up against the sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) and the dynapenia (loss of muscle strength), both associated with aging. And I’m afraid all the research, which I am now fully caught up on thanks to reading one article, can be reduced to “eat less, exercise more.” I can’t help you with the former, but we’re here for the latter. Research shows “the effect of exercise seems to be comparable or even superior to antidepressant medication and psychotherapy.” There is MICT (moderate intensity continuous training) and HIIT (high intensity interval training). We’re going to the second, in honor of the Japanese coach, Izumi Tabata, who invented it.

Moleskin:
Find your “prayer closet” (Mt. 6:5-6).
As Merton put it in Thoughts in Solitude,
“As soon as a man is fully disposed to be alone with God… [a]t that moment he sees that though he seems to be in the middle of his journey, he has already arrived at the end. For the life of grace on earth is the beginning of the life of glory. Although he is a traveler in time, he has opened his eyes, for a moment, in eternity.”
