“To come out of this crisis better, we have to recover the
knowledge that as a people we have a shared destination.
The pandemic has reminded us that no one is saved alone.
What ties us to one another is what we commonly call solidarity.”
-Pope Francis

Pope Francis says in this 3-minute video recorded in Spanish with English subtitles.
