Prayer, Blessing, Encouragement, Call

The days of Christmas and Easter have been the occasions for popes to bless the city of Rome and the world (Latin: urbi et orbi). Yesterday Pope Francis blessed the world from Rome. It followed three-quarters of an hour of prayer. Francis’ reflection on the occasion spoke to our current fear and noted an invitation resides in the pandemic: “to reawaken and [enact] solidarity and hope.”
