Sister Aurea came to visit me and asked for my prayers for the intention of her family. She suggested and volunteer to do my laundry. I really appreciate it but my friends from Sta. Maria is the one doing my laundry. I do not want to antagonize people who would like to help and suggested other work of which she could beof great help.

I celebrated Mass in unity of the celebrations of all catholics for World Day of the sick. I celebrated the Mass in the church and in the hospital and annointed those sick with oil a day after its regular schedule. It happens that February eleven of this year is sunday, my schedule could not accomodate it. People are noot used with the anointing of the sick during the said event. I thought that it is a common feeling that since drugs and medical services are expensive they will tend more to ask God for healing. However, it was not the case here.

15th World Day of the Sick Prayer Oh, God of Life, on this World Day of the Sick, We thank you for granting us the blessing of sharing with the sick their suffering. Send your Spirit onto all the sick, especially to those who suffer from incurable diseases, to console them and bolster their faith. Oh, God, Lord of Life, grant those who are suffering a faith that sure in the resurrection of Christ and grant them the possibility of participating in His glory. Grant the strength of Your Holy Spirit to all health and pastoral care workers who help the sick and make them, always and everywhere, have a profound respect for the dignity of human life.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Every 11th of February, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. It is one of the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary accepted by the Church. Mary, the mother of God appeared in Lourdes, France in 1854 to Bernadette telling how to ask the bishop of the place to build a church there in her honor. A spring, have appeared to the place of apparition to strengthen the message of the Virgin Mary. It was them that a blind man after washing his face has suddenly healed. After that many have come to this little town for healing. In 1991, the Pope John Paul II decreed that this day will also be a World Day of the Sick. One of my barrio dedicated their chapel in her honor. Though the barrio celebrates the fiestas along with the parish but it belongs to the poblacions. They have some little preparations through the sacraments of the mass and merienda siena for the said occasions. The parish celebrates the World Day of the Sick at 3:00 in the afternoon through the mass fo...
