The 16 Documents of Vatican II

Resolution  


Reflection
 163:   Based on the Vatican II document 
Gaudium et Spes (Church in the world) 
Article 61

 

 

This article has some encouraging words about tourism and sport:

With the reduction of working hours,
the leisure time of most people has increased.
May this leisure be used properly to relax,
to fortify the health of soul and body through spontaneous study and activity,
through tourism which refines our character and enriches us with understanding of others,
through sports activity which helps to preserve equilibrium of spirit,
and to build relationships among people of all conditions, nations and races.
May all of the above be imbued with a human and a Christian spirit.

Jesus, may tourism and sport
promote friendship and other good values
