This year's edition pays homage to football giant Diego Maradona, who participated in both of the previous Matches for Peace, leading the 'Scholas squad.' Maradona passed away in November 2020.Peace, the Pope said, is the fruit of gestures like theirs, namely"of closeness, friendship, the outstretched hand, always," and"not with the stone in your hand to throw it."The Holy Father thanked the athletes for sowing seeds of peace in a world marked by war.
They met in 2002 during the restoration of the Cathedral of Buenos Aires, and in 2005, they created a chalice together, which they would gift to then-Pope Benedict XVI. Expressing his joy for the Pope's closeness to the encounter, he remembered that the day's events began in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall on Monday afternoon, where the Holy Father received soccer players and those involved.The silver olive tree, Mr. Pallarols said, is"a symbol," showing that"planting and taking care of a plant" lays the roots for"a project of life.
