May the Virgin be with you


Archbishop of Mexico Norberto Rivera has backed the national team to triumph in South Africa and is calling on God and the Virgin Mary to help the team.

"We Mexicans feel joyful and in solidarity with our brothers that are representing our country and, although not all of us can be helping physically in the stadium, from here we will will their triumphs," Rivera wrote in the Church's magazine.

The Archbishop also said that sport possesses a spiritual side that motivates people to engage in healthy competition, better themselves and happiness.

Rivera also wished for the best for the national team "with all my heart."
