This weekend, Bishop Kopacz celebrated World Marriage Day in the Cathedral in downtown Jackson, recognizing couples in our Diocese who live out the sacrament of holy matrimony and who are recognizing significant wedding anniversaries this year. This upcoming week on February 11, we commemorate the world day of the sick, with the theme this year: “The compassion of the Samaritan: loving by bearing the pain of the other.” The Samaritan shows love by caring for the suffering man who fell into the hands of thieves, highlighting the importance of love of neighbor. Love of neighbor needs concrete gestures of closeness, through which we enter into the suffering of others, especially those who are ill. Pope John Paul II established the world day of the sick in 1992. May we remember the sick and our married couples recognizing significant anniversaries in our prayers this week. Father Lincoln.
