A prayer in Saint Sébastien to support the XV of France against Scotland

Saint Sébastien would have lived in the 3rd century. Officer in the army of the Diocletian emperor, he would have converted to Christianity. He was sentenced to death for his faith.

Martyr Christian, he is presented as the patron saint of sportsmen because of his physical resistance to the pain inflicted on him. Amateurs or professionals, all athletes can request their intercession to achieve physical performance or place a competition under their protection.

Prayer in Saint Sébastien, boss of all athletes.

Lord of courage and fraternity,
Today, the XV of France enters the field, united as a single team,
Give their strength to play with passion,
Endurance in the face of effort, and humility in victory as in defeat.

O saint Sébastien, protect them from wounds,
Watch over their body and mind,
And make that, under the gaze of God,
They give the best of themselves.

Lord, whom they always play with heart,
And that, whatever the final score,
They come out of the growing ground,
In Ovalie brothers.

Amen
