Quotes

• We bishops have urged the people to keep praying for the patients and for the medical staff fighting the disease and to provide all the necessary assistance.

I would encourage Chinese Catholics to sustain the doctors and nurses with their prayers offering all the love and solidarity possible. I call on the whole human community to unite to overcome SARS.
