The inter-religious soccer match is played in Rome’s Olympic Stadium today, gathering greats from around the world, featuring Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Hindu and Buddhist players. The match is intended to promote peace and to raise money for at-risk kids. The event has the backing of Pope Francis.
This video has the match’s mascot, Plim Plim, playing Pope Francis.
Okay, it is silly. But the music and the pope’s eyes made me smile.
Oh, Lord, if only we can spread this spirit of coming together!!!!!! Let’s try!!!
