During a time of global pandemic, Pope Francis has prayed that all of those facing fears will find the strength to conquer them.

“In these days there’s so much suffering. There’s a lot of fear,” Vatican news cites Pope Francis as saying during his homily at the Casa Santa Marta chapel in the Vatican on March 26.

“The fear of the elderly who are alone in nursing homes, or hospitals, or in their own homes, and don’t know what will happen. The fear of those who don’t have regular jobs and are thinking about how to feed their children. They foresee they may go hungry,” the pope said.

“The fear of many civil servants. At this moment they’re working to keep society functioning and they might get sick. There’s also the fear, the fears, of each one of us. Each one knows what their own fears are,” he said.

“We pray to the Lord that He might help us to trust, and to tolerate and conquer these fears,” Pope Francis said. - LiCAS.news
