Pope Francis has urged other clergymen to ‘have the courage’ to visit the sick despite the risks to their heath
The Pope has delivered a blessing which is normally reserved for Christmas and Easter in an extremely rare move in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Francis delivered the ‘Urbi et Orbi’ blessing – Latin for ‘to the city and the world’ – in a totally empty St Peter’s Square this evening.
The blessing is usually given to mark the major Christian festivals of the year, or when a new Pope is elected. It was not clear whether a special blessing such as this one has ever happened before.
Catholics who watched the Pope’s appearance online have been offered forgiveness for their sins if they receive the blessing.
