What's Happening

World Day of the Sick

2/1/2025

 
"...Dear brothers and sisters who are ill or who care for the suffering, in this Jubilee you play an especially important part. Your journey together is a sign for everyone: “a hymn to human dignity, a song of hope” (Spes Non Confundit, 11). Its strains are heard far beyond the rooms and beds of health facilities, and serve to elicit in charity “the choral participation of society as a whole” (ibid.) in a harmony that is at times difficult to achieve, but for that very reason is so comforting and powerful, capable of bringing light and warmth wherever they are most needed.
The whole Church thanks you for this! I do as well, and I remember you always in my prayers. I entrust you to Our Lady, Health of the Sick, in the words that so many of our brothers and sisters have addressed to her in their hour of need:
We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our petitions in our necessities,
but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin."
- Message of the Holy Father for 33rd World Day of the Sick (11 February 2025)
-------------------------------------
​Queridos enfermos, queridos hermanos y hermanas que asisten a los que sufren, en este Jubileo ustedes tienen más que nunca un rol especial. Su caminar juntos, en efecto, es un signo para todos, «un himno a la dignidad humana, un canto de esperanza» (Bula Spes non confundit, 11), cuya voz va mucho más allá de las habitaciones y las camas de los sanatorios donde se encuentren, estimulando y animando en la caridad “el concierto de toda la sociedad” (cf. ibíd.), en una armonía a veces difícil de realizar, pero precisamente por eso, muy dulce y fuerte, capaz de llevar luz y calor allí donde más se necesita.
Toda la Iglesia les está agradecida. También yo lo estoy y rezo por ustedes encomendándolos a María, Salud de los enfermos, por medio de las palabras con las que tantos hermanos y hermanas se han dirigido a ella en las dificultades:
Bajo tu amparo nos acogemos, Santa Madre de Dios;
no deseches las súplicas que te dirigimos en nuestras necesidades,
antes bien, líbranos de todo peligro,
¡oh siempre Virgen, gloriosa y bendita!
