Fast on Good Friday for Covid19

President of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints calls for global Fast for relief from Covid19 on April 10th (Good Friday). Invites everyone to join.

If you are unable to go without food for health reasons (or you just wish to do so), consider giving something else up. Typical fasts are for 2 consecutive meals or 24 hours. Do it with a purpose (covid 19)--otherwise you're just starving (or dieting).

President Nelson called on everyone around the world to fast and pray again for relief from COVID-19. (A previous fast for relief from COVID-19 was held March 29, 2020.) This global fast will take place on Good Friday, April 10, 2020.

“Let us unite in pleading for healing throughout the world,” the prophet said. “Good Friday would be the perfect day to have our Heavenly Father and His Son hear us! … Let us prayerfully plead … that the present pandemic may be controlled, caregivers protected, the economy strengthened, and life normalized.”
