Pope Francis’ prayer intention for the month of February is for the terminally ill.
“When some people talk about terminal illnesses, there are two words they often confuse: incurable and un-carable. But they are not the same,” the Holy Father said in a video released Jan. 30.
“Even when little chance for a cure exists, every sick person has the right to medical, psychological, spiritual, and human assistance,” he said, adding: “Sometimes they can’t talk; sometimes we think they don’t recognize us. But if we take them by the hand, we know they are relating with us.”
Pope Francis pointed out that “healing is not always possible” but that, however, “we can always care for the sick person, caress them.”
