Today, the Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, the Church observes the 30th
World Day of the Sick. The theme for this year is "Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful" (Luke 6:36).
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."
