Pope Francisco wrote a letter on April 12, a significant Easter day in Christianity, to the brothers and sisters of leading social movements and organizations.

Many people who support the economy, such as workers, recyclers, workers on pilgrims, small farmers, construction workers, dressmakers, and various types of care workers, are in this difficult time There is no stable income to survive, and it has become unable to bear the city blockade, '' he said, showing a sense of crisis that people in economically strict positions are suffering from the prolonged new coronavirus crisis. Was.



Pope Francisco then said, 'I want you to think about 'life after the pandemic. This turbulence is going away, but the significant effects are already beginning to appear.'
