‘Lord, Stop it’: The Pope Has Asked God to End the Coronavirus Epidemic
While Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church has mostly been restricted to the walled confines of the Vatican since the national lockdown in Italy was imposed on March 9, he decided to step out, to pray.
He left the Vatican on the Sabbath and went to Rome, where he prayed at Basilica of Saint Mary Major and the church of San Marcello al Corso Sunday, reported Newsweek.
When asked by La Repubblica journalist Paolo Rodari what he prayed for at the two churches, the pontiff replied: “I asked the Lord to stop the epidemic: Lord, stop it with your hand. That’s what I prayed for.”
