We celebrate the signs of hope as people are being helped, particularly children and the vulnerable.

With more than 312 million doses of vaccine having been administered by 9 March 2021, we pray for an equitable distribution of vaccines, especially in low-income countries, so that people everywhere will be protected.

We lament the more than 2 million people who have died and the deadly impact of the pandemic on the vulnerable, especially children.

We remember the front-line, health care, and humanitarian workers around the world and the healing of bodies and minds and all of creation.

We remember the world’s leaders, especially those leading advanced-economies countries whose decision impact conditions in low-income countries.

We remember the millions suffering from food insecurity, children and youth being trafficked and the 235 million people worldwide who need living assistance.
