Early in the morning, before presiding over the General Audience, Pope Francis received in audience at the Vatican the players of the Celtic Football Club, a team from Glasgow, Scotland.

During this meeting, the Holy Father specified that, although it is always preferable to win a game than lose it, “this is not the most important thing.”

“What matters most is the example you set, both winning and losing, on and off the field. An example that embodies virtues such as courage, perseverance, generosity and respect for the dignity of others, which is a gift from God.”
