I never heard the call to religious life. Being a husband and father, as poor of one as I am, was the closest I got to a "calling." Even my role as a teacher, which so many people feel called to do, is not one that I felt a "call" towards. I envy those with such a clear idea of who they are or who they are to become.
The second reading from today gives us the famous line: "... your body is a temple ...". While the reading is more attuned to spiritual rather than physical health, I can't help but think that my temple is in rather bad shape right now. Like anything, if effort doesn't go into it's daily maintenance and upkeep, it will fall apart. While I do put forth a minor effort, my body (and thus my temple) needs a bit more work than that.
