The Pope joked about the fact that the Jubilee of Sport coincided with the Feast of the Holy Trinity, was something that, at first glance, might seem out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, he reminded everyone that the Trinity is a relationship, and that sport, for example, brings people into relationship with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
POPE LEO XIV<\/strong> Pope Leo also pointed out that sport has the ability to build community, to unite, and to foster physical contact in an increasingly digital world. Finally, he noted that it is a great teacher \u2014 especially when one loses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POPE LEO XIV<\/strong> The Pope also recalled the figure of Pope Saint John Paul II, known for being a pope who dedicated much time to prayer and to sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JRB The Pope's reflection on 'the art of learning to lose' <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":78282,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/3qV5boEMm1E","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bgiubileosporteng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bgiubileosportint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78281"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78281"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78285,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78281\/revisions\/78285"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
This is why sport can help us encounter the Triune God: because it requires a movement of the self toward the other \u2014 certainly an outward one, but also and above all an inward one. Without this, it is reduced to a sterile competition of egos.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
