"Wisdom of the Heart" for World Day of the Sick

February 11, 2015 marks the twenty-third commemoration of World Day of the Sick.  This year's theme is, "I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame" (Job 29:15).  The message of Pope Francis for today asks us to consider the theme from the perspective of "the wisdom of the heart."  According to Pope Francis, "the wisdom of the heart" means serving our brothers and sisters, being with our brothers and sisters, going forth from ourselves toward our brothers and sisters and showing solidarity with our brothers and sisters without judging them.  Please click here to read the letter in its entirety.

As Sisters of Christian Charity, we thank and support all of our Sisters and Companions who minister in health care.  As we continue to pray for them and those they serve, we remember those pioneer Sisters who cared for the sick in the past and built health care institutions to bring the healing ministry of Jesus Christ to them.
