-

Covid-19 pandemic which has been ravaging the world for the past year has now assumed devastating proportion for India. Thousands of innocent lives are lost and lakhs of people are have succumbed to this fatal disease in our country. We must be strong in spirit during these testing times. We need to fight bravely in order to safeguard ourselves and our people.

Scientists, experts, medical fraternity and other specialists have experimented exhaustively regarding the nature of Corona Virus and have suggested a series of measures to our national, state and local administrations. It is our bounden duty to follow the guidelines set down by the administration without paying heed to any gossip, fake news and wrong information.

The scientists and experts who have developed a vaccine for the pandemic in record time are worthy of praise. As these vaccines are now available for the public, all must take this vaccine for themselves as early as possible. No religious or social misunderstandings must deter us from taking the vaccine.

Most Rev Gerald Isaac Lobo, Bishop, Diocese of Udupi

The Udupi district administration has declared a stringent lockdown all over the district from May 10-24. In order to break the chain of infection, it is very important for everyone to remain inside their home during the lockdown. This is not going to be easy, yet in order to keep ourselves unaffected by the contagion and also help others, we need to follow this very strictly.

Udupi diocese in 2020 went out of the way to help Covid affected, labourers, migrants, elderly and other needy people during the lockdown. The diocese with its 52 parishes is ready to do the same during these testing times. The parishes with the help of the Catholic Sabha, Youth Movement and other Associations will do everything to alleviate the pain and suffering of the needy.

Let us try our best to overcome this pandemic. God who has created us is our protector too. Let us pray to him for ourselves and for one another. May the merciful almighty protect and care for us, says Most Rev Gerald Isaac Lobo, Diocese of Udupi
