The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes

This coming Friday, 11 February 2022, is World Day of the Sick, intended for ‘prayer and sharing, of offering one's suffering for the good of the Church and of reminding everyone to see in his sick brother or sister the face of Christ’. The day was instituted on 13 May 1992 by Pope John Paul II and is celebrated on February 11, and is also the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.

In the build-up to World Day of the Sick, Radio Maria is broadcasting a Novena. This includes, on Wednesday, 9 February, at 9.30am, a reflection by Chief Nurse Tina Quinn on how her faith impacts her work as a nurse.
