Easter Fest –

Pope announces extraordinary ‘urbi et orbi’ blessing

March 27

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — In response to the

ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Pope Francis said

he will give an extraordinary blessing “urbi et

orbi” (to the city and the world) at 6 p.m. Rome

time March 27.

The formal blessing — usually given only

immediately after a new pope’s election and on

Christmas and Easter — carries with it a plenary

indulgence for all who follow by television,

internet or radio, are sorry for their sins, recite a

few prescribed prayers and promise to go to

confession and to receive the Eucharist as soon as

possible.

After reciting the Angelus prayer March 22

from the library of the Apostolic Palace, Pope

Francis announced his plans for the special

blessing, which, he said, would be given in an

“empty” St. Peter’s Square because all of Italy is on

lockdown to prevent further spread of the virus.

With the public joining him only by television,

internet or radio, “we will listen to the word of

God, raise our prayer (and) adore the Blessed

Sacrament,” he said. “At the end, I will give the

benediction ‘urbi et orbi,’ to which will be

connected the possibility of receiving a plenary

indulgence.”

An indulgence is an ancient practice of

prayer and penance for the remission of the

temporal punishment a person is due for sins that

have been forgiven. In Catholic teaching, a person

can draw on the merits of Jesus and the saints to

claim the indulgence for themselves or offer it on

behalf of someone who has died.

In addition to announcing the special

blessing, Pope Francis said that at a time “when

humanity trembles” because of the COVID-19

pandemic, he was asking Christians of every

denomination to join together at noon March 25 to

recite the Lord’s Prayer. The Catholic Church and

many others mark March 25 as the feast of the

Annunciation.

“To the pandemic of the virus we want to

respond with the universality of prayer,

compassion and tenderness,” he said. “Let’s stay

united. Let us make those who are alone and tested

feel our closeness,” as well as doctors, nurses, other

healthcare workers and volunteers.

Pope Francis also expressed concern for

“authorities who have to take strong measures for

our good” and the police and soldiers maintaining

public order and enforcing the lockdown.

ALL MASSES & CHURCH FUNCTIONS ARE SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!
