His Holiness Pope Francis hails from the land of FOOTBALL.
An Argentine always dreams of Soccer.
So this wish comes in the language of his favourite game!!
May the Good Lord Bless Your Holiness.......!
To DRIBBLE PAST the renovation of the Church
in an Assissian Way
To TACKLE the attacks on the Church
with an Ignatian Method
To ATTACK the evils in the Church
through a Jesuit Outlook
To DEFEND the faith of the Church
with a Xavierian Spirit
To STRIKE at the exact moments
in order to defeat the opponents
To BICYCLE CUT certain decisions
for an unexpected scoring chance
To curve the CORNER KICKS
to mesmerize the committed faithful
To pierce the FREE KICKS
all the blocks set on their way
To utilize the INJURY TIME
to play a fairer game
To score a GOLDEN GOAL
in the extra time given at hand
Let the game
Not prolong to a SUDDEN DEATH
Where the GOAL KEEPER
jumps to either of the sides
With an intuition which often
misleads him to the wrong side
at the mercy of the opponents!
Let us pray to the Merciful Lord
To STRETCH His hands
Whenever, wherever and however necessary
To SCORE decisive goals
in the crucial matches
In order to instill
in the TEAM MEMBERS
A sense of belongingness
and an approach of hope
To win the game and
LIFT the trophy at the end!!
Viva il Papa...!!!
