Earlier this year, the Vatican published Pope Francis’ message for the 32nd World Day of the Sick, celebrated each year on February 11. The Holy Father’s message for this year is entitled: “It is not good that man should be alone” – Caring for the sick by caring for relationships. Echoing the Holy Father’s message, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) renews its commitment to prayer and accompaniment of the sick. Pope Francis reminds us of the fundamental importance of human relationships in the process of healing and comforting the sick.
Yesterday, on the liturgical memorial of Saint Francis de Sales, and with the approval of the Permanent Council, the Episcopal Commission for Justice and Peace of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) releases its Pastoral Letter on the use of social media titled: “Let Your Speech Always Be Gracious.”
The 2024 edition of the Week of the Word of God will take place from 19 to 28 January 2024, under the theme: "Never seen anything like it! This week is grafted onto Sunday of the Word of God, instituted by Pope Francis.
The theme proposed this year, is inspired by the finale of the story of the paralysed man forgiven and healed. "We have never seen anything like it" (Mk 2:12). A varied programme will allow us to enter into the amazement and wonder that God's work brings to our lives.
