With the help of God and all of us cooperating we will be able to deal with this pandemic. We must especially remember to protect the vulnerable members of the local community
As Christians, we must take responsibility for the well being of others. We can be united in the spirit even as we are apart in the body.May the God of every consolation, the God of mercy, love, and compassion restore to health those who are ill, strengthen the families of those afflicted, and guide those ministering to them. We also direct all members of the Church to offer prayers for the afflicted, for their families, for those who are ministering to them, and for those who are anxious or troubled by this situation.
I will be ever-vigilant for the welfare of our Metropolis, praying every day for all of you, for those in charge of the health system, for our Nation, and for the world.
