Bishop Wall, Fr. Masters, and Mike Sweeney are joined by former NFL player and current 49ers GM John Lynch for a discussion on how his Catholic faith shapes his approach to sports.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit:
"Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created,
and you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.
O God, who have taught the hearts of the faithful
by the light of the Holy Spirit,
grant that in the same Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolation.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen."
