On February 11, we recognize World Day of the Sick— a time to prayerfully remember all who are sick and suffering, and all who care for them. Initiated by Pope John Paul II and coinciding with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes, this day is a reminder for us serving in Catholic health care of the importance of the sacred mission we are called to do.

In his message for this year’s World Day of the Sick, Pope Leo XIV invites us to reflect in a special way. Read his full message:
