		</div><p>Pope Francis has called for solidarity the world over to confront the “epochal challenge” posed by the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>He urged political leaders in particular to give hope and opportunity to laid-off workers.</p>
<p>Francis made his traditional Easter address on Sunday and called for sanctions relief, debt forgiveness and ceasefires to calm conflicts and financial crises around the globe.</p>
<p>He offered special prayers for the sick, the dead, the elderly, refugees and the poor. He also offered thanks and encouragement to doctors and nurses who have worked <em>“to the point of exhaustion and not infrequently at the expense of their own health”</em>.</p>
<p>Francis urged the European Union to step up to the <em>“epochal challenge”</em> posed by Covid-19 and resist the tendency of selfishness and division.</p>
<p>He recalled that Europe rose again after the Second World War<em> “thanks to a concrete spirit of solidarity that enabled it to overcome the rivalries of the past”</em>.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“This is not a time for self-centeredness, because the challenge we are facing is shared by all, without distinguishing between persons.”</em></p>
