Pope Francis invites everyone to pray on 14 May for end to pandemic At the weekly General Audience, Pope Francis appealed for the Day of Prayer on 14 May launched by the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity. "Prayer is a means to communicate with and listen to God. In this spirit, I have welcomed the invitation of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity to dedicate tomorrow, 14 May, to prayer, fasting, and works of charity. I invite and encourage everyone to join in this event. May we unite as brothers and sisters in asking the Lord to save humanity from the pandemic, to enlighten scientists, and to heal the sick. May the Lord bless each one of you, and always protect you from every evil." Join with The Carmelites of Australia and East Timor as we pray: Eternal God, calm the fear in our hearts. Help us to work together to protect and look after each other. May your healing spirit be with those suffering from this disease, and those caring for them, all healthcare professionals and researchers. Be with those who mourn the loss of their loved ones. Be with all of us in our fear and uncertainty. Save us from panic and distress. May we continue to be your strong, calm, loving and compassionate presence to one another. This we ask in the name of Jesus, healer of the sick and friend of the forgotten ones.
