Praying for the Sick and Housebound.
As ever we remember those from the parish families and indeed beyond who are unwell at this time. We pray too for their families and for those who care for them at this time of illness, confusion and uncertainty.
Throughout all of what we call the public ministry, Jesus was very much concerned with all who were sick. There are numerous accounts found in the synoptic gospels of Jesus visiting the sick, praying with the sick and in some recorded cases healing the sick.
The people who were in receipt of his care and attention were simply ordinary people who had fallen ill. In many ways we are the same, ordinary people going about our daily lives as best we can.
We pray then that same Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be present to all who are unwell at this time in and beyond our parish family.
Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time.
About Today - In other years: St Agatha.
She was martyred at Catania in Sicily, probably during the persecution of Decius (250-253). Devotion to her was widespread in the Church in the earliest times and she is mentioned in the Roman Canon of the Mass.
