Pope Francis offers Easter prayer for those sick with coronavirus
ROME — Pope Francis offers an Easter Sunday prayer for those killed and suffering from a novel coronavirus that has killed more than 100,000 people worldwide.
“Today my thoughts turn in the first place to the many who have been directly affected by the coronavirus: the sick, those who have died and family members who mourn the loss of their loved ones, to whom, in some cases, they were unable even to bid a final farewell,” the pope says in a livestreamed message from an empty Saint Peter’s Basilica.
