An opportunity to meet Jesus

February 11, 2023, the Holy Mass for the sick at 9:00am was presided by Fr. Leonardo “Bong” Dublan Jr. with anointing and prayer.

Fr. Bong said the date of observance of the World Day of the Sick was chosen by Pope John Paul II which is also the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes because many were reported to have been healed through the intercession of Blessed Virgin Mary.

In his homily, it was also mentioned that communion of the sick who are at home and can no longer go to church will be restored and pointed out that taking care of the sick is an opportunity to meet Jesus, as quoted Jesus said “when I am sick you visited me.”

After the mass, there was a snack given to the sick and a short program to cheer them up.

In the evening, at the GKK level, during the Kasaulogan sa Pulong (KSP), there was also a prayer for the sick and for the whole month of February 2023 listed and identified sick people will be visited in their respective GKKs and will be prayed for. (Emerence Gamorot | SoCCom)
