Jubilee of the Sick marks the 7th in the list of Holy Year events
Patients,
doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, healthcare personnel,
and technicians from 90 countries will participate in the events held in
Rome and Vatican City.
Pilgrimage to the Holy Door
On
Saturday, April 5, the two-day event will begin with the opportunity
for a pilgrimage to the Holy Door in St. Peter’s Basilica. In the
afternoon, a series of cultural, spiritual, and artistic offerings
called “Dialogues with the City” will take place in the squares of Rome,
organized by associations, organizations, and movements.
Events of hope, giving, and care
In
the afternoon, in Piazza di Spagna, a meeting titled “The Value of
Giving and Solidarity,” organized by the Ministry of Health, will
feature speeches by Archbishop Rino Fisichella, the Italian Minister of
Health, the Mayor of Rome, and other civil authorities.
Later
that day, the jubilee events are scheduled to continue with a conference
titled “Hospice = Hope” on the topic of palliative care, hosted by the
Pontifical University of the Holy Cross and organized by the Campus
Bio-Medico University of Rome.
The American Heart Association is
to offer practical support by leading a session to teach CPR techniques
in English, Spanish, French, Polish, and German.
The Fratres
association, in collaboration with the National Office for Health
Pastoral Care of the Central European Initiative, will raise awareness
about a blood drive taking place in Piazza San Giovanni in the evening.
From a medical case to a cause for canonization
At
the Church of Santa Monica, a conference on Blessed Benedetta Bianchi
Porro, a medical student who passed away from a rare disease, will be
held. Her sister, Emanuela, and her biographer and postulator, Fr.
Andrea Vena, will speak.
There will also be moments of prayer
for the sick, with Eucharistic Adoration and catecheses led by religious
congregations whose charism is care. Other appointments include a
moment of prayer titled "Following the Footsteps of Blessed Luigi
Novarese. Finding Blessing When Life is Marked by Fragility," held at
the Church of St. Mary of the Suffrage.
The second and final day
of the Jubilee for the Sick and the World of Healthcare will feature a
Mass in St. Peter’s Square presided over by Archbishop Fisichella, who
will read the homily written by Pope Francis for the occasion.
