Why Are You Afraid? Have You No Faith?

The world facing the pandemic

What happened in an empty Saint Peter’s Square on March 27, 2020?

Something both simple and huge happened. An extraordinary moment of prayer united the world. The images were powerful and dramatic.

While the entire world was deserted and people were holed up in their homes, terrified of the contagious virus, Pope Francis implored God to come to our aid in an extraordinary blessing "Urbi et Orbi."

Commemorating an historically important chapter in both the papacy of Francis and the history of the modern world, this book is another avenue by which the Holy Father shares his uplifting message of wisdom, hope, and love with those who have suffered in pain, loneliness, and fear. Despite the dire challenges we have faced during this pandemic, Pope Francis reminds us that evil does not destroy confidence in God, and it does not break the solidarity of humanity.
