For the Value of Sports Let us pray that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.
Let us pray for teachers and educators, that they may be guided by wisdom, patience, and integrity in forming young minds and hearts, and may they recognize their vocation as a noble service for the growth of individuals and the good of society.
