| Message on World Day of the Sick from H.E. Bishop John Bosco Panya Kritcharoen | |
| The 11th February of every year is the "World Day of the Sick" and this year is the 15th anniversary that the international community invites all to offer special prayers for the sick, the disabled and all the people in various kinds of need. | |
| We should not forget that the world day of the sick falls on the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. By this memorial the Church wants us to pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary who is "Salus Infirmorum" by which it will make our memorial of the sick complete. Hence, the Church's memorial ceremony is a special occasion whereby we will pray fervently to beg graces from God through His Blessed Mother. | |
| For the upcoming 15th World Day of the Sick the Church will celebrate it in Seoul, Korea together with Bishops, priests, religious and health-care people from all over the world. The gathering will pray and find ways to heal society and be witness to the mercy of God and to remind each of us that: | |
| Life … is the gift of God, a gift for us to extend our solidarity to our brothers and sisters, even though they are not sick. | |
| Health … is a special gift bestowed upon us by God to take care of, so that we will be able to take care of our society, especially the poor ones who are suffering from illness. | |
| Spirituality … is a source of enlightenment that God has given us from the day of our birth and gradually developing thereafter, so that we may see our own sickness, understand it, accept it and make improvement of it under God's graces. | |
| I invite all the faithful to pray and do something for the sick as the occasion may arise, to bring blessings and good wishes from the Holy Father to the sick and the poor as the occasion comes along. | |
| In conclusion, let us all pray for one another so that we will truly understand the meaning of life and good health. | |
|
Blessing
you all in Christ
