Pope Francis on Thursday
told priests to join him in praying for the whole world in a
tweet released amid the coronavirus emergency due to which he
will not be celebrating the traditional Chrism Mass.
"Dear brother priests, we are united to anoint, to donate
ourselves", the pope tweeted on Holy Thursday.
"#Letspraytogether today asking for the humility to maintain
this gift of anointment which has been entrusted to us and for
the whole world.#HolyThursday", the pontiff said on Twitter.
Chrism Mass is traditionally celebrated on Holy Thursday with
all priests of the diocese who for the occasion renew the
promises made on the day of their ordination.
