The COVID-19 pandemic marks an unprecedented time in modern history that will require the best of humanity to overcome. The world is grappling with possibly the worst public health crisis seen in more than a century. The new coronavirus has taken thousands of lives and spread to nearly every country in the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has gripped nations, compelling governments to impose countrywide lockdowns to contain the spread of the deadly virus. This crisis threatens everyone's way of life, but it is especially difficult for people who are already vulnerable, including those with pre-existing medical conditions, older adults, individuals experiencing homelessness, refugees and migrants, wage workers, and those with inflexible jobs.

The Jesuit Conference of India organized an online retreat “Lifeline –in solidarity with You” from 5^th April to 12 the April,2020.This was a multi-religious retreat and prayers seeking the blessings of the Almighty reverberating the Universal Aposolistic Preferences (UAP) of the Society of Jesus.- show the way to the God to come out of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 virus.

 Rev.Fr.George Pattery SJ Provincial for South Asia (POSA) and Rev.Fr.Sunny Jacob SJ,Natioanl Alumni Advisor wish many of our alumni and friends to join this online retreat to pray for benefit of the mankind against the spread of CORONO virus.
