Lionel Messi has publicly stated that his athletic abilities are a direct gift from God, noting, "God gave me the talent, and I always thank Him for that." He has also affirmed his personal faith with the clear declaration, "I belong to Christ."

As one of the most recognized athletes in history, Messi's decision to attribute his success to a higher power serves as a prominent example of humility. Despite his unparalleled achievements on the pitch, he recognizes that his capabilities are not entirely his own making.

Acknowledging divine providence provides a necessary foundation for individuals operating under intense global attention. Consistently pointing to a higher authority shifts the ultimate focus from personal glory to lifelong spiritual gratitude.

⚽ As the World Cup kicks off and nations come together through sport, we join with Pope Leo in praying for the values that sport can inspire in our world.

May competition foster respect, teamwork and friendship. May sport be an instrument of peace, encounter and dialogue among peoples and cultures. And may all who take part—on the field, on the sidelines, and in the stands—grow in solidarity, perseverance and mutual understanding.

At Lough Derg, we invite pilgrims and friends to remember Pope Leo’s prayer intention for June in their daily prayers.
