World Day of the Sick

Today, the Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, the Church observes the 23rd World Day of the Sick. The theme for this year is “I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame” (Job 29:15). World Day of the Sick is a time, in the words of Pope Benedict XVI, to “to reflect upon the mystery of suffering and above all to make our communities and civil society more sensitive to our sick brothers and sisters.”
