“If we followed the same rules for health that we do about religion, we would all be bedridden. It is not enough to talk about the necessity of health; we must do something practical about it – for example, eat, exercise and rest. So it is with religion. We must nourish ourselves with the truths of God, exercise our spiritual muscles in prayer, mortify ourselves of those things which are harmful to the soul, and be just as scrupulous in avoiding moral evil as we are in avoiding physical evil.” – Archbishop Fulton Sheen

If we stop exercising, does that make us prone to stop praying? It would seem like the focus and discipline correlation between physical activity and spiritual activity would be significant. Quitting, and other easy options, say excuses, can become quite an unhealthy habit.
