About World Day of the Sick
Christian , Food
Ends: Feb 11, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
World Day of the Sick is a feast day of the Roman Catholic Church instituted on May 13, 1992 by Pope John Paul II.
Beginning on February 11, 1993, World Day of the Sick is celebrated every year on the day of commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes. All Christians are urged to seek 'a special time of prayer and sharing, of offering one's suffering'.
Pope John Paul II was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease as early as 1991, an illness he disclosed later. It is significant that he decided to create a World Day of the Sick one year after his diagnosis.
The Pope had written a great deal on the topic of suffering and believed in redemption and salvation through Christ.
The feast of Lourdes was chosen because many pilgrims and visitors to Lourdes have reportedly been healed by intercessions of the Blessed Virgin.
This event falls on the anniversary of the first appearance of the Virgin Mary to Saint Bernadette in Lourdes, France in 1858.
