During this time of coronavirus pandemic, Pope Francis is calling for prayers not only for our elected leaders who are dealing with the crisis, but also for religious who are trying to provide spiritual sustenance for their flocks.

Many things have been cancelled because of the coronavirus. Love is not one of them.

The call of Christ can appear as one more demand upon your time and energy.

Signore, Gesù Cristo, hai percorso città e villaggi “curando ogni malattia e infermità.” Al tuo comando, i malati erano guariti.

Cardinal Peter Turkson says that this period of the coronavirus pandemic is a time for solidarity among peoples.

Diocesan leaders also asked people who are ill to refrain from attending Mass and have urged prayers for the recovery of those afflicted by the illness and for their family members and other caretakers.
