About this sermon
🌍 Faith Meets Fitness in the Jubilee of Sport! The Jubilee Year of Hope is in full swing — and athletes from every continent have come to Rome to celebrate the powerful bond between sport and spirituality. 🏅 Olympians, Paralympians, youth, and families gathered for a once-in-a-lifetime event, with Pope Leo XIV calling them “Missionaries of Hope.” He reflected on how sports build cooperation, presence, and humility — and how even champions must learn to rise after every fall. ⛪️ Highlights included a Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, a pilgrimage across the Holy Door, and a Vatican debut by the Giro d’Italia cyclists. From football matches to the Caritas Cup, sport became a joyful expression of faith, inclusion, and unity. Led by Athletica Vaticana, the Church’s own multi-sport team, the Jubilee of Sport reminds us: training the body can be a path to training the soul. 👉🏻 Sign up here: https://bit.ly/ewtnvatican 👥 Follow us on our social networks: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/EWTNVatican/ X: https://twitter.com/EWTNVatican Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EWTNVatican 💻 And you can also visit our website: https://www.ewtnvatican.com/ #JubileeOfSport #PopeLeoXIV #FaithInMotion #AthleticaVaticana #VaticanNews 250620 Ep682 Top3 ENG
