May 13, 2020 "Prayer is the way to communicate and listen to God, and with this spirit I have accepted the invitation of the High Committee for Human Brotherhood to dedicate tomorrow, May 14, to prayer, fasting and works. of charity. Let us join together as brothers to ask the Lord to save the world from the pandemic. "

Pope Francis announced it today during the general audience on Wednesday. "Prayer - he underlined - is the way to communicate and listen to God". In this spirit, "I accepted the invitation of the High Committee for Human Brotherhood to dedicate tomorrow, May 14, to prayer, fasting and works of charity".

"Prayer belongs to everyone: to men of all religions, and probably also to those who profess none. Prayer arises in the secret of ourselves, in that interior place that spiritual authors often call the 'heart'", he underlined the Pope from the library of the apostolic palace, continuing the catechesis on prayer. God "does not know hatred, is hated but only knows love: this is the God we pray to", added Bergoglio.

The prayer 'against' the coronavirus will be followed by many other dioceses in Italy.
