Sunday, February 11, is the World Day of the Sick. After praying the Angelus, the Pope loudly reminded that many people “have been deprived of their right to medical treatment and therefore their right to life!” Because in Ukraine, Palestine, and Israel , Myanmar and other conflicts, people are left in abject poverty or “tortured” under fire. He also invited everyone to treat the sick and vulnerable with “care, compassion and tenderness.”
(Vatican News) “Basic human rights are violated every day” in war zones, which is “intolerable”! February 11 is the Solemnity of Our Lady of Lourdes and the World Day of the Sick. After praying the Angelus, Pope Francis loudly reminded that “Today many people are deprived of their right to medical care and therefore their right to life!”
“When we are sick,” the Pope said, “the first thing we need is the care of our loved ones, our medical staff, and the care of God within us. We are all called to be close to those who suffer, to visit the sick, as Jesus said in the Gospel He teaches us. For this reason, I would like to express my concern and that of the entire Church to all those who are sick or most vulnerable. Let us not forget the style of God: care, mercy and tenderness.”
Finally, the Pope loudly pointed out: “Brothers and sisters, on this World Day of the Sick, we cannot ignore the fact that today many people are deprived of their right to medical treatment and therefore their right to life! I think of those who live in extreme People in poverty; I also think of war zones: where basic human rights are violated every day! This is unbearable. Let us pray for the tormented Ukraine, Palestine and Israel, but also for Myanmar and all those suffering from war People prayed.”
