Reflection
A Lonely Place
Jesus often went off to a lonely place to pray yet the same Jesus who prayed in lonely place said, ‘When you pray, go into your room, and pray to your father in secret.’
This means that the lonely place is not necessarily a place far away, or that by ‘room’ he means four walls that separate us physically from others. The room is the room of our inner most heart.
This room is with us at all times.
We should make it a place to which we can go to find rest and spiritual recovery when the world is too much with us.
Then we will discover that the inner room is not empty after all, but is occupied by the God of love who dwells in all of us.

World Day of the Sick
February 11th
The ministry of Jesus to the sick is central to the life of the Church. February 11 (memorial of our Lady of Lourdes) highlights the healing ministry of the Church. It reminds us that service to the sick and suffering cannot be neglected. It recognizes the great efforts of doctors, nurses, health care institutions and pastoral care givers to restore health to those afflicted with illness and disease.
