WORLD DAY OF THE SICK


February 11 is World Day of the Sick, founded by Pope John Paul II on 13th May, 1992 as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses and their caregivers.
The Pope was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 1991 which was later confirmed in 2001. It is believed that his illness was the drive for him picking this day.

On this day, people from around the world pray for the sick and their caretakers who work to relieve the pain of the sick. 
Faith organisations mark this day by providing food, medicines, and spiritual guidance to the sick.

Prayer is one of the greatest way we can show our love to people we care about. We pray to also stand in place for those who are weak, unable to pray for themselves or in hard/difficult situations.
We have a deep communication with God, creating relationship and sharing our feeling and utmost thoughts through prayer.

My prayers to the sick all around the world, those who spend time to care for them and help to ease their pain (relatives, nurse, doctors, caregivers etc.) and to everyone who help in one way or the other (prayers, donations, giving food etc) to provide for their needs. God bless you all.

Love,

Claudius prevented Roman soldiers from marrying because he believed that Roman soldiers should be completely devoted to Rome.  St Valentine married the soldiers in secret Christian ceremonies and that was the beginning of his reputation for his b...
