    • Pray with the Pope


      Pope Leo XIV's prayer intention for June: For the values of sports |  The values expressed in sports can unite people, break down barriers, and create spaces bringing together cultures and generations. At a time when competition can become empty rivalry, and exclusion leaves many out, it is important that we rediscover the true meaning of sports as a school of fraternity, respect, and solidarity.

      In this month’s prayer, the Holy Father invites us to pray “for the values of sports” so we “discover in sport a universal language that brings cultures together, unites peoples, and sows respect, solidarity and personal growth.”

      Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. In addition to being kind and gentle, Christians must be compassionate, love selflessly, and seek the good of others, knowing that in every brother and sister who suffers it is the Lord Himself who asks and receives, who is welcomed or rejected, loved, or despised.
      - Pope Leo XIV -
