Pope Francis: Use sport to bring people together
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
on Wednesday gave his support to the thirdInternational
Day of Sport for Development and Peace (IDSDP), sponsored by the United
Nations.
To mark the day, the UN
Office on Sport for Development and Peace launched a campaign “Let’s play for
Sustainable Development Goals”, which will encourage organisations and
individuals who carry out initiatives on the day to take a picture or a short
video of their team or beneficiaries with a “SDG card” that best describes
their activity.
In his remarks at the General
Audience, Pope Francis said “sport is a universal language that brings
together peoples, and can help persons meet and overcome conflicts.”
“Therefore, I encourage you
to live the dimension of sports as the gymnasium of virtue in the full
development of individuals and communities,” Pope Francis said.
