Pope announces extraordinary Urbi et Orbi blessing
At the Angelus on Sunday, March 22nd, Pope Francis invited all Christians to join together in praying the Our Father as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, all are urged to join in prayer this coming Wednesday, March 25th, at 7 AM local time (12:00 Noon Rome time). On that day on which many Christians recall the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary of the Incarnation of the Word, may the Lord listen to the united prayer of all of His disciples who are preparing themselves to celebrate the victory of the Risen Christ.
With this same intention, this coming Friday, March 27th, at 6:00 pm (1 PM local time), the Pope will preside over a moment of prayer on the
sagrata
of Saint Peter’s Basilica, before the empty square. He invites everyone to participate spiritually through the means of communication. There will be reading of the Word of God, petitions, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, with which at the end, the Pope will give the
Urbi et Orbi
blessing.
