Our Lady of Lourdes; World Day of Prayer for the Sick
Date: 11th February 2020
In 1992, Pope (now Saint) John Paul II asked that Catholics worldwide should pray for the sick and their caregivers on 11 February, when we commemorate Our Lady of Lourdes, who has helped so many who are suffering from illness. Each year, the Pope gives a message to the Church to focus on current issues for the sick and those who care for them. In 2020, he reminds us of the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28: 'Come to me all you who labour and are burdened.'
