8th.February .FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, and Feast also of Sts;Jerome Emiliani,Josephine Bakhita,John of Matha and Honoratus.Anointing of the Sick for World Day of Prayer for the Sick.150 Year Celebration for Lourdes ends this week.
17th. WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE SICK.HELD ON THE FEAST OF OUR LADY OF LOURDES EACH YEAR IN THE CHURCH.HOW IS IT HELPFUL TO ILL PEOPLE?
Pope John Paul established World Day of Prayer for the Sick 17 years ago with a view to helping all who were ill at home and in hospital feel they were always included in the prayers of the Church.It was arranged as well that the World Day of Prayer would be held in Lourdes and in another city in the world on the same day.The Cardinal in charge of the Commission for Pastoral Care for all Health Care Personnel and the sick themselves,Lorenzo Barragan from Mexico and living in Rome, would represent the Holy Father at the different venue each year, while the Lourdes ceremony would go on as usual on its own.At these celebrations great emphasis is placed on the Sacraments of Confession and the Anointing of the Sick and the Mass is also celebrated, during which the annual Message for World Day of Prayer for the Sick from the Pope is read. This year that message in not yet to hand and extracts will be published in next week`s newsletter, if we receive it on the day.
World Day of Prayer for the Sick, really concentrates on giving those who are ill a clearer identity with the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus.It proclaims that that unity with Christ in His sufferings makes their suffering help to build up what is lacking in the Body of Christ.Christ died an ignominious death on the Cross, after much agony and torture of a heinous kind, for the days beforehand. He did not suffer from disease of any kind nor from an accident of one sort or another.But all who do then,as members of His Body, The Church, represent Him in suffering.His redemptive suffering is joined with theirs, making theirs also salvific and with generous purpose, in the context of redemption. The sick who unite their suffering with those of Jesus, now have a calling of great worth and become effective instruments for Christ`s work.
World Day of Prayer for the Sick also draws into its net of prayer all who care for the sick in the, spiritual, medical and ancilliary services and all who worry about those who are ill, as well as all involved in caring and every other back up service for the ill, the housebound, those who are impaired in any way,and all who suffer from various terminal diseases.It is indeed a day of great charity and bringsblessings.

CASTLEPOLLARD, CASTLETOWN & FINEA PARISH
1st.February .FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AND DIOCESAN CELEBRATION OF SILVER JUBILEE OF EPISCOPAL ORDINATION OF BISHOP MICHAEL SMITH, and Feast also of Sts;Brigid, Mary of the Gael and Patroness of Ireland.Last day of week of prayer for The Catholic School.
THE COMMENCEMENT OF SPRING PUTS US IN TOUCH WITH LIFE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINING IT AS A GIFT FROM GOD TO US ALONG WITH OUR WORLD.
The feast of St.Brigid brings the touch of Spring into our hearts at this time of year.Even though the sting of this severe winter is still with us, the recent growth of snowdrops and other little jewels of Spring in gardens and hedges, tell us life is beginning to burst out.This hopefilled time is symbolic of the love for life that St.Brigid had and the respect she showed for all the gifts of God.Followed by the Feast of the Presentation in the Temple next day, we find the symbol of the lighted candle put before us.This also shows the path of hope and light and life which Jesus offers us as the Light of the Nations.One of the great gifts of Spring is that the days lengthen and there is more light around and so more hope brightening up our lives.Later in the week we celebrate St.Blaise and a little later World Day of prayer for the Sick and the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes on February 11th.
On St.Blaise`s day, we think of the sick and we celebrate the blessing of throats, which is very traditional and gives people confidence to feel that God is close to them and helps them have good health and heals them from bad health.God does not want us to be unwell and so He gives sustenance to our well being and health.On World Day of the Sick, which is now celebrating its 17th year ,since it was established by Pope John Paul, people who are ill get great hope and a helpful boost to know that the whole Church is praying for and with them.It also highlights the Sacrament of the Sick, which is lifegiving for those who want to be healed.Then, this Day of the Sick is associated deliberately with Lourdes and the healing arena of prayer that Lourdes has become over the years.Anyone who pilgrims to Lourdes for healing usually gets more that expected in inner peace and joy, coming from the great atmosphere of prayer and respect and care for those who are ill, giving us a deep appreciation of the gifts of life and health.Let us pray that in the coming week and month, we will all deepen our respect for life, from womb to tomb and thank God for all He has given us in our faith, our spirit, minds, bodies and world.
