Lord, help us to remember that Christ dwells within and among each of us on our team and that we have a responsibility to be Christ for each other. St. Theresa of Avila reminds us that “Christ has no body now on earth but yours. No hands but yours, no feet but yours. Yours are the eyes, which look out with Jesus’ compassion to the world. Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which He is to bless others now.” Help us Lord to see when our teammates are down and to walk over to them to provide encouragement. Remind us to high five each other as a sign of our friendship and to huddle together in solidarity and brotherhood/sisterhood to always play for God’s glory.
Amen.
