DESCRIPTION:

World Day of the Sick is a feast day of the Roman Catholic Church instituted on May 13, 1992, by Pope John Paul II.

Beginning on February 11, 1993, World Day of the Sick is celebrated every year on the day of commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes. All Christians are urged to seek "a special time of prayer and sharing, of offering one's suffering."

Pope John Paul II was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease as early as 1991, an illness he disclosed later. Significantly, he created a World Day of the Sick one year after his diagnosis.

The Pope had written much on suffering and believed in redemption and salvation through Christ.

The feast of Lourdes is chosen as the day, given the Blessed Virgin (Our Lady of Lourdes) has been proven to generate a minimum of 70 miracles since 1858.

This event falls on the anniversary of the first appearance of the Virgin Mary to Saint Bernadette in Lourdes, France, in 1858.
