May 14, 2020

Pope Francis has called on believers of all religions around the world to pray together today, May 14, to ask God to end the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

World Prays Today For End To Pandemic

The Pope announced on May 3 that Catholics will join in an initiative to dedicate May 14 to fasting, prayer, and charity to implore God for the end of the pandemic. On this day, he said, “believers of all religions should unite spiritually for a day of prayer, fasting, and works of charity, to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus pandemic.”

The proposal for a World Day of Prayer was first made by the High Committee for Human Fraternity, established in September, 2019, in response to a Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhnar, during the Pope’s visit to the United Arab Emirates in 2019.
