The Vatican has released a 192-page book, entitled Strong in the Face of Tribulation. It is a collection of prayers and supplications (including blessings for the sick and liberation from evil), pastoral indications on how we can continue to live out a sacramental life during isolation, and homilies of Pope Francis beginning March 9, 2020.
According to the editorial director of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication, Andrea Tornielli, this is “A little help offered to all, so as to know how to discern and experience God’s closeness and tenderness in pain, in suffering, in solitude and in fear.” He also said that the cover features the image of St. Michael, the Archangel who “protects the Church against evil and supports us in this difficult trial, so that this evil may not prejudice our trust in the Father and the solidarity among us.”
The book is free for download here.
