VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- With the coronavirus pandemic forcing many countries to dig mass graves for countless victims, Pope Francis offered his daily morning Mass for the deceased who remain unknown. Other countries such as Brazil, England and Iran have also had to resort to digging mass graves due to the increased death rate caused by COVID-19. This restlessness, the pope explained, was God preparing him to receive his word and an important aspect to consider when evangelizing. "This is valid for our apostolate, for our apostolic mission as Christians," the pope said. The pope recalled a woman "of goodwill" who told him about how she converted two young people to Catholicism.
