"Glorify God with your body," says Saint Paul (1 Cor 6:20). How can sport help us to grow closer to God and strengthen our faith? And conversely, can faith help us in our sporting activities, to the point of "moving mountains"? Or simply to better accept our bodies as the Creator made them? And to help them grow, strengthening them in wisdom and grace?
