“In this moment of crisis because of the pandemic we are experiencing, this nearness asks to be manifested more… Perhaps we cannot draw near physically to others because of the fear of contagion, but we can reawaken in ourselves a habit of drawing near to others through prayer, through help. There are many ways of drawing near.”

Pope Francis’
Mass celebrated on March 18 morning at the Casa Santa Marta is for those who died because of the virus.
