Recently we have been talking about corona virus outbreak. This has caused fear and anxiety among us as scientist have been unable to develop a vaccine for it, so far.

Friends, we depend solely on God, the creator of all things. So in this moment of havoc I request you all to fast and pray earnestly to God our savior. Just as Esther prayed and fasted when she was alone and God answered her prayers. We too must pray for our scientists that they may be able to prevent and control coronavirus.

On behalf of the Archdiocese of Lahore, from 2nd March till 6th March, we all will observe fasting specifically for this cause.”
