The Best Thing You Can Do for Your Work Is Take a Walk

Dorothy Day was a lifelong walker, and it was on her strolls along the beach in Staten Island in the 1920s that she first began to feel a strong sense of God in her life and the first flickerings of the awakening that would put her on a path toward sainthood. It’s probably not a coincidence that Jesus himself was a walker — a traveler — who knew the pleasures and the divineness of putting one foot in front of the other. Indeed, it’s no coincidence that many of the greatest expressions of faith and devotion involve pilgrimages to holy sites around the globe.

Thinkers from Ernest Hemingway to Steve Jobs knew that breakthroughs happen when you get moving

The Korean American Christians of Flushing, Queens

Every morning around 5:30 to 6:00 am, Korean Americans start arriving at their churches, fast food restaurants, and circles of car service drivers for a bit of Scripture reading, prayer, and exhortation to live godly for the day. The intensity of such practice of faith indicates to its participants that they are “real” serious about religion, that they are “real Christians.”

The evangelical revival in Flushing was started by the Korean Americans. It started early in the morning.

Religions show faith in power of technology

The Vatican is praying that this year’s must-have Christmas gadget will not be an Apple Watch or Kindle, but rather its eRosary device.

The £99 bracelet, which is activated by making the sign of the cross with it, is aimed at tracking a devotee’s progress through a range of prayers and is accessed using an app called Click to Pray. It even doubles as a fitness monitor, tracking the wearer’s steps, location and calories burnt.

Apps help followers to pray, communicate with clerics and meet kindred spirits

At Flushing Catholic School, It’s the Three Rs in Mandarin - The Tablet

Starting in kindergarten and until the third grade, classes are taught half in English and half in Mandarin. In the fourth through sixth grades, about 30 percent of instruction time is in Mandarin, and in the seventh and eighth grades, students have two Mandarin classes a week.

St. Michael’s is the only Catholic elementary school in the state that has a dual English-Mandarin program, which was first developed by Boston College and has been used at St. Michael’s for the past seven years.

McClancy Memorial H.S., East Elmhurst, decided to take security into its own hands by installing bulletproo...
