Dear Parishioners,

The fifth corporal work of mercy is to visit the sick. Maya Angelou said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." People especially remember how you made them feel when they were sick. Remember, when you visit the sick, please speak less and listen more. Besides visiting the sick, give blood to the person-in-need, volunteer at a nursing home and use your talents like singing, reading, painting and so on, visit an elderly neighbours or take them out for a meal and offer to assist care-givers of chronically sick family members. At times people may not curable, but surely care-able. May our presence bring smile on the face of the sick.
