Before the start of Mass on the feast day of St. Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church and patron saint of Europe, Pope Francis prayed for unity across the continent.
POPE FRANCIS
Let us pray for Europe, for the unity of Europe, for the unity of the European Union, so that everyone together might move forward as brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis is very concerned the problems surrounding the coronavirus are making EU leaders forget the original point of the European Union, fraternal unity.
