Pope Francis and Christians worldwide prayed for an end to the coronavirus pandemic which has infected nearly half a million people and disrupted countless lives
VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis and Christians worldwide recited “The Lord’s Prayer” on Wednesday to ask God to stop the coronavirus pandemic which has infected nearly half a million people, disrupted countless lives and shut down churches and other public venues.
In an introduction to the “Our Father”, which is also known as “The Lord’s Prayer”, he said it was also for “the sick and their families, health workers and those who assist them, for authorities, police forces and volunteers, for the ministers of our communities”.The 83-year-old Francis prayed from inside the Vatican, where he has been holed up for the past few weeks as a precaution as Italy has imposed stringent measures to tackle what has become the world’s worst outbreak of the disease.
Italy had reported 6,820 coronavirus-linked deaths as of 1700 GMT on Tuesday, the highest toll in the world.
