Mumbai(CCBI): His Eminence Oswald Cardinal Gracias, the Archbishop of Bombay, President of the CBCI, and one of the topmost consultors of Pope Francis, appealed to everyone to journey together along the path of healing a Covid-19 stricken world with discernment for the future. We have to transform the interdependent approach of the Church in India into solidarity. The post-pandemic Church needs a more humanized pastoral approach.

Cardinal Oswald released the Indian edition of Healing the World: Life After Pandemic, a book by Pope Francis, on Sunday, 12 September 2021. This was at the Holy Name Cathedral, Mumbai, after his online Sunday Eucharistic celebration. More than thirty thousand people all over the world attended the event.

“It is a visionary book, to equip the Church to face the post-pandemic challenges. We cannot be indifferent nor lookers-on from the balcony. The exit path is from the crisis as better human beings. It lies in healthier societies with a common venture.” said Cardinal Oswald.

The book, Healing the World by Pope Francis, is published in India by the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI).
