This evening, Friday 27th March 2020, Pope Francis will preside over a time of universal prayer for an end to the Pandemic. The ceremony will consist in readings from the Scriptures, prayers of supplication, and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and will conclude with Pope Francis giving the Urbi et Orbi blessing, with the possibility of gaining a plenary indulgence for all those who listen to it live through the various media. The blessing is normally only given on Christmas and Easter.

You can participate in the broadcast via the Vatican website or by setting aside a time for private prayer.
