Is it okay to pray for a sports victory--such as a Super Bowl championship? Nuns at the Carmel of the Resurrection Monastery
in Indianapolis, whose vocation is private prayer (www.praythenews.com), say yes. Sister Terese Boersig, an apparent Indianapolis Colts fan, said in an Associated Press interview, that it was okay for Colts Quaterback Peyton Manning to pray for a victory in last Sunday's game against the New Enlgland Patriots.

After the game, Manning expressed conscerned about his spiritual etiquette: "I said a little prayer on that last drive. I don't know if you're supposed to pray for stuff like that, but I said a little prayer."

Boersig said it was "abolutely" appropriate to pray for success, but she added, ''Now, what would not be appropriate is if you prayed that Tom Brady broke his leg.''

Hmmm... who and what will you be praying for come Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 4)?
