My All Souls Day Run: Remembering and Praying for Those who have "Finished the Race"

"I have competed well; I have finished the race. I kept the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7)  St. Paul wrote these words at the close of his life as a testimony to the accomplishment of his mission in life. It is also a fitting tribute to our loved ones who have done their work here on earth and has gone before us.

On November 2nd, All Souls Day, we remember those who are no longer with us. To honor the memories of  our dearly departed, I am praying and running one mile for each name of your loved one you send to me. Please list for me their names (or initials) and your relation to them (family or friend) and send them to me by posting it here, on http://www.facebook.com/prayingrunner or via email to prayingrunner@gmail.com

No list is too short or too long; I shall run and pray for them all. Your loved ones will remain in your heart forever and I shall keep that sacred memory in my heart as I run and pray for them starting on October 29th up to November 2nd.

May I request that if you are so inspired to share or repost this on your page.  Thank you.
