READ THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: https://bibleinayearonline.com/february-oyb/?version=63&startmmdd=0101

(Jas 5:14-16) Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man. And the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.

Bishop J. Strickland:  As Pope Francis remains in serious condition in the hospital let us not fail to pray for him. Let us pray for his eternal salvation, his conversion to the Sacred Heart of Christ and that any suffering he endures may draw Him closer to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  May the mercy that flows from the side of Christ call him to deep repentance of sin and wash him in God’s forgiving love.

CNA: Pope receives prisoners’ prayers for recovery while hospitalized in Rome

Pope Francis received heartfelt letters from inmates at Milan’s San Vittore prison after his hospitalization forced the cancellation of a planned meeting where the prisoners were to perform in a special concert.

The Holy Father knows well that judicial sentences are served behind bars and, above all, in the heart. That’s where he intended to enter this Monday, Feb. 17, when he was scheduled to meet with a group of inmates from San Vittore prison at Rome’s historic Cinecittà studios.

However, the event was canceled following his hospitalization at Rome’s Gemelli hospital.

Upon receiving official confirmation of the cancellation from the Vatican, some inmates decided to write letters to the pontiff. “It was a spontaneous gesture through which they wanted to express their affection,” Eliana Onofrio, president of the Amici della Nave association noted.

In one of the letters, an inmate expressed his sadness, saying that “everything had been organized in great detail” to offer Pope Francis a concert into which they had poured all their effort and affection. The inmate considers the pope a central figure, expressing his closeness and assuring his prayers.

Another detained person laments being unable to meet the pope but understands this is “a necessary pause due to his constant dedication and efforts.” Nevertheless, he emphasizes that the pope’s health is paramount and promises prayers for a swift recovery. He also asks Francis not to feel “distressed about the event’s cancellation” and wishes him a speedy return to strength.
