Sturm coach Säumel: Draw confidence from the win against Linz!”

A special festival of Divine Mercy will soon be celebrated worldwide. Originally created by St. Faustina Kowalska, the first Sunday after Easter is celebrated as a day of reflection on the immeasurable love and mercy of God. This tradition, strengthened by the support of figures such as Blessed Michael Sopoćko and Pope John Paul II, has become a significant event for millions of Christians, as reported on the Wolfsberg Parish website. The name of the festival in Wolfsberg, “Ocean of Mercy”, reflects the inspiring message that Faustina received in her visions, where Jesus speaks of the graces he showers on all those who draw near to his mercy.

In the sports world, however, current events also attract great interest, especially in football. Before Red Bull Salzburg and Sturm Graz face off in an important duel on Sunday, the “Steirerkrone” spoke to Sturm coach Jürgen Säumel. After a botched cup exit against Austria and a heavy 3-0 defeat against Wolfsberg, the mood in Graz seemed tense. However, the recent win over Blau-Weiß Linz, which gave the team a valuable lead at the top of the table, has boosted the team's confidence. According to Säumel, this success was not a satisfaction for the previous setbacks, but a sign of the reaction and fighting spirit of his players to improve their performance compared to the game against Wolfsberg.

Looking forward to the festival and the duel

The preparations for the Feast of Divine Mercy as well as the excitement before the football match between Salzburg and Sturm Graz illustrate the variety of events that take place in both the spiritual and sporting areas. The message of charity and the challenges of football - two worlds that connect and inspire many people in their own way. Whether in faith or sport, it will be exciting to see how both areas continue to make an impact on their communities.
