World Day of the Sick

Yesterday the Catholic Church celebrated her 17th World Day of the Sick, which is a special day at Saint Catherine of Siena Church for all the priests, consecrated men and women, health-care workers and volunteers and who dedicate themselves to treating and alleviating the sufferings of those who have to face up to illness. Pope Benedict XVI’s message for this year focuses particularly on sick and suffering children. Previous World Day of the Sick messages by Pope Benedict addressed: in 2006, the mentally ill; in 2007, the incurably ill and those dying from terminal diseases; and in 2008, the Eucharist, Lourdes and pastoral care of the sick.
