World Day of the Sick

February 11 has been designated as the World Day of the Sick since 1992 by Pope Saint John Paul II.  A few weeks ago Pope Francis offered a message for the 32nd Word Day of the Sick entitled: “It is not good that man should be alone”: Healing the Sick by Healing Relationships.  

Echoing the Holy Father's message, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) renews its commitment to prayer and accompaniment of the sick and encourages the faithful across Canada to remember with compassion all who are sick and those that care for them.  They offer a prayer card for World Day of the Sick that you can view here (pdf).

Also a reminder that the CCCB offers  Horizons of Hope: A Toolkit for Catholic Parishes on Palliative Care as a helpful resource for parishes.
