'Urbi et Orbi' ( to the city of Rome and to the whole world) denotes a papal address and apostolic blessing given by the Pope on certain solemn occasions. Usually it is given during Christmas, Easter and when a new Pope assumes office. It is the occasion when Pope blesses all with plenary indulgence. Urbi et Orbi 2020 is on the very special occasion when millions fight the growing pandemic , novel Corona Virus 'Covid-19'
Pope meditated on the calming of the storm from the Gospel of Mark. The meditation centres round Christ's question "Are you afraid? Have you no faith?
His Holiness calls on each and every one to have that trust and Faith instead of the alarming cry " We are perishing. Teacher, do you not care if we perish?"
No ship wrecks if there is the Lord at the stern. Let us all row together. Have the faith and the trust in the Lord. His cross is our anchor and our rudder. Let us invite Jesus into the boats of our lives. Let us hand over our fears to Him so that He can conquer them.He brings serenity into our storms , because with God life never dies.
