PRE-GAME AND POST-GAME PRAYER
The
Cleveland CYO initiated the Pre-game and Post-Game Prayer for all
CYO Events. The animation of our faith that this action brought has
set a positive tone in athletics. As you know, our Pastors and
Pastoral Designees have called for us to return to our roots as a
faith based sports organization, and the Pre-Game and Post-Game
Prayer helps us to establish our CYO identity. It is our hope that
the continued action of praying together will foster fellowship,
respect, sportsmanship and dignity of players, coaches, event
workers, parents and officials. We wish you the best of luck in the
upcoming season.
Pre-Game Prayer
Lord God, thank you for bringing us together in
your name.
We know you are with us now,
you are with
us now, as you promised.
Please help
the players, coaches and officials to play and be fair.
Keep us all
safe from injury.
Thank you for
giving us the chance to teach our faith to others
by our
actions.
Amen.
Post-Game Prayer
Lord, we thank
you for the opportunity and challenge of this game.
You call us to
compete well, finish the race
and grow
in our faith!
Help us to
remember we can do all things through You,
who gives us
strength.
Amen.
