In 1991 Pope St. John Paul II declared Feb. 11, the date the
Church commemorates Our Lady of Lourdes, as the first World Day of the Sick, to
call to mind and prayer our suffering brothers and sisters who are ill and
their caregivers. The theme of this year’s observance is “You have but one
teacher and you are all brothers” (Mt 23:8), which calls for “a trust-based
relationship to guide care for the sick.” During this current pandemic, which
has ravaged our nation and world and taken untold precious lives, the sick are
foremost on our minds.
