A Call and Invitation to a Special Day of Prayer for our Frontline Medical Personnel
20-18TO ALL THE BISHOPS AND THE DIOCESAN ADMINISTRATORS Your Eminences, Your Excellencies and Reverend Administrators: RE: A CALL AND INVITATION TO A SPECIAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR OUR FRONTLINE MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN THIS TIME OF CRISIS Although I am quite sure that many of us, if not all, have been remembering and keeping in our prayers, like our Oratio Imperata, those who are in the medical frontline of our collective efforts to face the menace that the Corona Virus disease has brought to our people, we make this call and invitation to all our bishops, clergy and religious, and to all our faithful, to be united in a Special Day of Prayer for All our Frontline Medical Personnel in our fight against the Corona Virus Disease Pandemic On March 29, 2020, the 5th Sunday of Lent We do this in all our Masses, our Rosaries, during our Holy Hour, and in our moments of Personal Prayer. May our prayers move us to action: Among the actions of support we can do is to remind ourselves and our people to cooperate with and obey and follow the quarantine measures that our local government directed us to follow, most especially the directive to stay at home. May our prayer move us to action: As dioceses and parishes, can we start assisting them by providing facilities for them to go home to, some place for rest and sleep, and perhaps some meals – a second home for our dedicated medical frontliners – like some available buildings and rooms in our dioceses and parishes, for example, formation centers, retreat houses, and pastoral centers?
