MESSAGE OF THE HOLY FATHER ON THE OCCASION OF THE TWENTY-THIRD WORLD DAY OF THE SICK (11 FEBRUARY 2015)
Sapientia Cordis “I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame” (Job 29:15)
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
On this, the twenty-third World Day of the Sick, begun by Saint John Paul II, I turn to all of you who are burdened by illness and are united in various ways to the flesh of the suffering Christ, as well as to you, professionals and volunteers in the field of health care.
This year’s theme invites us to reflect on a phrase from the Book of Job: “I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame” (Job 29:15). I would like to consider this phrase from the perspective of “sapientia cordis” – the wisdom of the heart.
