All the Churches in India offered prayers for India with Prayer of Hope on Pentecost for healing the world from Coronavirus Pandemic. Christians all over India came together in churches, at homes and from where ever they were during these unprecedented times, to pray unitedly, believing for a better tomorrow, believing for a Coronavirus Free India.
Christian holiday of Pentecost is celebrated the 49th day after Easter Sunday, commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit.
Every church and every denomination in India joined hands to pray for India abiding by the law of the land on Sunday at noon. They prayed together, sang together and rang the bells to resonate the sound of hope to every corner of our nation, as per the directives in place.
During this time, Christian community in Indore especially prayed to God, for all the unsung heroes of our day namely: doctors, nurses, medical professionals, police and other law and order enforcing personals, grocers, truckers, farmers, bank employees, those maintaining supply of electricity, water and other essential services. All these and others, who are on the front lines, need God’s special protection as they serve us.
After the prayer Right Reverend Chacko Thottumarickal, the Bishop of Catholic Diocese of Indore said, “This is in obedience to what we believe to be God's word in the Bible that says, "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives."
President of Indore Christian Media Forum Fr John Paul SVD said, “Today Christians also celebrate the feast of Pentecost, which is an important day when all the Churches celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit of God on the 50th Day of the Day of Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the day that the Church was formed and is hence a very solemn and important day for the community. It is an apt time for us to come together to pray for our country.”
