“Today, let us pray for government leaders, scientists and politicians who are beginning to study a way out of the pandemic, though its “aftermath” has already begun. May they find the right way, always for the good of their people.” “We will either bet on life, in favour of the resurrection of our people, or we will bet on the god of money, turning back to the tomb of hunger, slavery, war, the making of weapons, of children without an education.”

Pope Francis,
at Mass on Easter Monday at Casa Santa Marta,  13 April 2020.
