Before celebrating Mass at Casa Santa Marta, the pope asked to pray for the sick, but also for families staying at home.
POPE FRANCIS
“May the Lord help families to discover new ways, new expressions of love, of living together in this new situation. It's a beautiful opportunity to rediscover affection, with creativity, in the family. Let us pray for families, so that the relationships within the family at this moment might flourish always for the good.”
Many countries are seeing an increase in initiatives to help those who can't leave their homes.
These go from digital assistance to facilitate working from home, to video conferences and free lectures.
