Papa Francesco benedice la fiaccola di Special Olympics

Roma,Giugno 2018 – “Rivolgo uno speciale benvenuto alla delegazione dell’organizzazione Special Olympics in occasione del 50esimo anniversario della sua fondazione. Il mondo dello sport offre una particolare opportunità alle persone di crescere nella reciproca comprensione e amicizia. Io credo affinchè questa fiamma olimpica possa essere un segno di gioia e di speranza nel Signore che concede i doni dell’unità e della pace. Su tutti coloro che sostengono le finalità di Special Olympics volentieri invoco la benedizione di gioia e di pace che Dio vi protegga”.

Il Santo Padre, in occasione dell’Udienza Generale che si è appena conclusa presso l’aula Paolo VI in Vaticano ha acceso e benedetto la torcia di Special Olympics riaffermando l’importanza dello sport nella costruzione di società più fraterne, in cui le persone abbiano tutte la medesima opportunità di crescere coltivando le proprie capacità, nello sport come nella vita.

Come già precedentemente affermato da Papa Francesco, in occasione di un’udienza privata con una delegazione di atleti Special Olympics nell’ottobre scorso, la Santa Sede non manca di sostenere e incoraggiare quelle iniziative, legate al mondo dello sport, che favoriscono il bene delle persone e delle comunità. Lo sport è uno di quei linguaggi universali che supera le differenze culturali, sociali, religiose e fisiche, e riesce ad unire le persone, rendendole partecipi sullo stesso campo di gioco, protagoniste, insieme, di vittorie e sconfitte.

La Torcia benedetta dal Santo Padre farà il suo ingresso, il prossimo 20 luglio, al “Soldier Field” di Chicago per accendere il tripode e celebrare l’anniversario di un Movimento, oggi presente in oltre 170 paesi, che ha visto nella sua fondatrice, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, una pioniera nella lotta per i diritti delle persone con disabilità intellettive. Era il 20 luglio del 1968 quando, presso lo stesso stadio dell’Illinois, un centinaio di atleti, provenienti dal Canada e dagli Stati Uniti, e circa mille spettatori si riunirono per i primi Giochi Internazionali di Special Olympics.

Un impegno, quello di Eunice Kennedy Shriver, partito diversi anni prima e diventato una vera e propria ragione di vita. La disabilità intellettiva di Rosemary, la sorella più piccola, fu tenuta segreta fino a quando la stessa Eunice decise di renderla pubblica. La rabbia e la grande preoccupazione che nutriva nei confronti dei pregiudizi culturali di cui Rosemary era vittima fecero nascere in lei una passione rivoluzionaria che si trasformò in un appello alla mobilitazione. Contattò tutti gli esperti nel campo delle disabilità intellettive, visitò gli istituti dove le persone vivevano, come prigionieri, in condizioni igienico sanitarie precarie; bambini che non interessavano a nessuno, fonte di imbarazzo, dimenticati e tenuti a distanza. Una vergogna talmente forte e diffusa che le famiglie non potevano fare altro che nascondere questi bambini. Eunice Kennedy Shriver cominciò con l’organizzare attività sportive per persone con disabilità intellettiva, nel 1962, nel giardino di casa sua. I partecipanti provenivano proprio da questi istituti e prima d’allora non erano mai stati in una piscina o non avevano mai corso sull’erba di un campo di calcio. Quel benvenuto a casa Shriver era un invito ad unirsi al resto del mondo; lo strumento per riuscirci sarebbe stato il gioco.

Chicago, a distanza di 50 anni, sarà la cornice di un evento sportivo internazionale, la Special Olympics “Unified Football Cup”. Un torneo di calcio a 11 Unificato, attraverso il quale atleti con e senza disabilità intellettiva giocano insieme, nella stessa squadra. Una realtà, quella dello Sport Unificato, che Special Olympics porta avanti con impegno e convinzione, alimentando la speranza di un futuro positivo e fecondo dello sport, perché fa sì che esso diventi una vera occasione di inclusione e di coinvolgimento.

La Unified Football Cup, in programma a Chicago dal 17 al 20 luglio, vedrà la partecipazione di 21 paesi nel mondo. Un torneo femminile, composto da 8 squadre, di calcio a 7 unificato ed uno maschile di calcio a 11 unificato con 16 squadre partecipanti, tra le quali anche l’Italia. La delegazione azzurra è composta da 16 calciatori, selezionati su tutto il territorio nazionale, di cui 9 atleti e 7 partner (atleti senza disabilità intellettive).
Il sorteggio del torneo, articolato in 4 gironi da 4 squadre ognuno, ha collocato l’Italia nel Girone C con la Giamaica, il Giappone e la Nigeria.

    I have seen loads of useful factors on your web-site about computer systems. However, I’ve the thoughts and opinions that laptops are still less than powerful sufficiently to be a good choice if you often do things that require loads of power, for instance video enhancing. But for net surfing, statement processing, and many other typical computer functions they are just great, provided you can’t mind the screen size. Many thanks for sharing your thinking.

    Thanks for these tips. One thing I should also believe is credit cards featuring a 0% rate often appeal to consumers in zero monthly interest, instant approval and easy over-the-internet balance transfers, nonetheless beware of the main factor that will certainly void that 0% easy street annual percentage rate and also throw one out into the bad house rapid.

    My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this website could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche. Great blog!
