In his statement, regarding the Holy Father’s message, Archbishop José Gomez, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops notes...

The English translation of the Litany of Supplication used during the prayer service on Friday evening presided over by Pope Francis on the steps of St Peter’s Basilica.

Please join Pope Francis for a prayer service as He prays for an end to this pandemic, pleading the Lord for mercy, protection, and deliverance. He will also impart His special Apostolic Blessing upon the whole world.

"People who cannot get to confession because of the coronavirus lockdown or another serious reason can go to God directly, be specific about their sins, request pardon and experience God's loving forgiveness, Pope Francis said."

Join the Pope in praying the rosary together today at 3:00 pm. Don’t worry if you don’t often pray the rosary, or need help remembering the prayers.
