Women religious across the globe call for a Day
of Worldwide Solidarity and Prayer on Sunday, 22 March, to express closeness to
those suffering from the coronavirus pandemic.
By Linda Bordoni
“Now is the time for each one of us to respond to
the worldwide coronavirus crisis by being in solidarity with others, especially
with those who are most vulnerable and most at risk.”
A statement signed by Sr. Jolanta Kafka rmi,
President of the International Union of Superiors General (UISG), invites all
members of the organization to make next Sunday, 22 March, a day of worldwide
solidarity and prayer especially for all those directly affected by the
Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.
Sr. Jolanta notes that it is the time to follow
the directives provided by the World Health Organization and our respective
governments.
A special time
She adds it is also a “special time for prayer
and for witnessing through practical solidarity and awareness, our
responsibility to care for one another.”
“This extraordinary time,” Sr. Jolanta continues,
“provides space for acts of generosity and expressions of gratitude especially
to those who are in the front line caring for the sick and those engaged in
research projects searching for remedies, and those at work in the public
services. No matter who they are or where they are, they should know that they
are in the thoughts and prayers of sisters worldwide.”
