Pope Francis has presented "a plan for the rising up again" of humanity in the midst of a global crisis, in which he reflects on the coronavirus pandemic in the light of the resurrection of Jesus, the Americana Magazine website reports today (April 22, 2020).
"A Plan for Rising Up Again" is the title he chose for the reflection. In it, he does not conceal his concern over the crisis caused by a pandemic that has infected more than 2 million people, caused the deaths of over 140,000, and wreaked havoc on the world's economy.
In Spain alone 190,000 people have been infected and 19,600 have died.
Pope Francis says our experience today mirrors in many ways that of the disciples of Jesus after His death and burial in the tomb. Like them, "we live surrounded by an atmosphere of pain and uncertainty," and we ask, "Who will roll away the stone [from the tomb?]"
