Sport has “great social power, capable of peacefully uniting people of different cultures,” the pontiff said.

In Sunday prayers at the Vatican, Pope Francis called for a truce at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. AP reported this on Sunday, July 21.

The Pontiff recalled the ancient Greek tradition of cessation of hostilities. He emphasized that sport also has “great social power, capable of peacefully uniting people of different cultures.”

“I hope that this event can be a sign of the inclusive world that we want to build, and that the athletes, through their sporting achievements, can become ambassadors of peace and role models for young people,” said by Francis.

The Pope asked the faithful to pray for peace, remembering the wars waged around the world.

“Let’s not forget about the martyrs of Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Myanmar and many other countries that are at war. Don’t forget that war is defeat,” the pope said.

The 2024 Olympics will be held in France from July 26 to August 11.

Let’s remember that in April, Pope Francis called for world peace against the backdrop of the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip. The Pontiff called on Ukraine to “seek peace.”
