Excerpts from Pope Francis´message at Easter
Pope Francis has called for solidarity across the world to confront the "epochal challenge" posed by the coronavirus pandemic, in his traditional Easter address on Sunday.
Pope Francis broke with centuries of tradition to livestream Easter Sunday mass to those suffering in the solitude of a coronavirus lockdown that forced the world's Catholics to improvise on their holiest day.
"This is not a time for self-centredness, because the challenge we are facing is shared by all, without distinguishing between persons," he said.
He also offered thanks and encouragement to doctors and nurses who have worked "to the point of exhaustion and not infrequently at the expense of their own health".
On Saturday, Pope Francis led an Easter eve mass at St Peter's Basilica, and urged people to "not yield to fear" and focus on a "message of hope".
"Darkness and death do not have the last word," the pontiff said, referring to the outbreak.
"Over these weeks, we have kept repeating, 'All will be well', clinging to the beauty of our humanity and allowing words of encouragement to rise up from our hearts. But as the days go by and fears grow, even the boldest hope can dissipate.
"Let us not give in to resignation ... We can and must hope," Francis added at the vigil, which was livestreamed.
