The World Cup 2010    Five meditations inspired by the World Cup 2010


On 11th June 2010, the World Cup kicks off with the host nation South Africa, taking on Mexico. Pray-as-you-go in partnership with the Jesuit Institute in South Africa are providing 5 reflections on themes surrounding the World Cup and South Africa.

'Feel it! It is here!'. That's the local slogan for the World Cup. The Jesuit Institute in Johannesburg thought it might be good to help people 'feel it' in perhaps a somewhat less hype-filled way. Hence this series of 5 meditations which are inspired by this Global event, a first for the African Continent. They are read by Puleng Matsaneng of the Jesuit Institute and Thabo Mokone of Radio Veritas, who also helped in the production along with Khanya Litabe, Niall Collie and Olinda Orlando, to whom we are most grateful. We also thank St John Vianney Seminary, Pretoria, for granting permission to use the choral music of their powerful CD Litlase (Give greater glory).

The five prayer sessions are available here in MP3 format, separately or in a single ZIP file.
