───── MASS OF MARATHON
6 pm on Saturday 16 March at Basilica of St Mary of the Altar (Campidoglio)
MARATHON MASS – In this Olympic and Paralympic Year, Athletica Vaticana – the official multi-sport association of the Holy See – will be organising a “Mass for Marathon Runners and Athletes” in a spirit of fraternity and friendship, on the eve of Acea Run Rome The Marathon.
The Mass, accompanied by the choir of the Diocese of Rome, will be celebrated at 6 pm, in the beautiful and ancient Basilica of St Mary of the Altar in Heaven (Campidoglio) in the heart of Rome. The Franciscan basilica overlooks the route that the marathon runners will take on Sunday morning.
At the end of the Mass, a “Marathon Prayer” will also be recited to illustrate the marathon as a metaphor for life and sport, followed by the blessing of the male and female athletes and others closely involved in the sporting world.
The invitation to celebrate the “Mass for Marathon Runners and Athletes” is addressed to women and men from any sporting discipline: amateurs, professionals, coaches, managers and family members, who will offer the congregation their readings and prayers.
The hope is that the Mass will be a sign of peace, through sport.
The service will be led by Archbishop Cesare Pagazzi, the secretary of the Holy See’s Dicastery for Culture and Education, appointed by Pope Francis to manage sporting affairs.
