“As he himself affirmed at today’s Angelus, in this time of emergency for humanity the Holy Father Francis invites Catholics all over the world to join spiritually in prayer with him next Friday, 27 March at 18.00.

The Holy Father’s prayer may be followed live through the media and will conclude with a Eucharistic Blessing, which will be imparted “Urbi et Orbi” through the media.

To all those who join spiritually in this moment of prayer via the media, plenary indulgence will be granted in accordance with the conditions of the recent decree of the Apostolic Penitentiary”.
