The Higher Committee of Human Fraternity called on people all over the world to pray to God for an end to the coronavirus pandemic on 14 May 2020, the Emirates News Agency, WAM reported on 3 May 2020.
Bishop Paul Hinder, Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia, has invited the Catholic faithful in the UAE and Oman to observe the day of prayer and supplication for the end of the pandemic. “I welcome the initiative of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity and invite our faithful to join in the day of prayer. May God bring a swift end to the pandemic”, he said. 
Earlier, on 04 May, Pope Francis welcomed and accepted the proposal of the Higher Committee for the Human Fraternity, so believers of all religions will spiritually unite on 14 May in a day of prayer and fasting and works of charity, to implore God to help humanity overcome the coronavirus pandemic.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, responded to the call of the Higher Committee and has asked all people everywhere to be united against the challenge of the pandemic in asking for God’s mercy.
Let us respond to the above appeal by observing a Day of Prayer on 14 May 2020.
