In these unprecedented times, no one knows what’s happening from day to day.
Thankfully here in Ireland, people are being paid a few quid to keep going – but not everywhere is as fortunately, as Pope Francis points out.
The popular Pontiff tweeted that everyone should pray for families who cannot work because of coronavirus, have no food to eat and have “usurers” (creditors) demanding what little they do have.
The post has been liked some 20,000 times with many saying that creditors need to lay off people who can’t work due to not fault of their own.
There are families in need who cannot work and have nothing to eat. Then along come usurers to take what little they have. Let us #PrayTogether for these families’ dignity. And let us pray also for the usurers, that the Lord might touch their hearts and convert them.
