Healing Ministry Week 2009: February 5-11
17th World Day of the Sick: February 11
Healing Sunday: February 8

Theme:
Righteousness and Justice
In the Healing Ministry

We continue the tradition of celebrating the Healing Ministry week ecumenically. The Christian Medical Association of India (CMAI), The Catholic Health Association of India (CHAI) and the Health Commission of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) together have selected this year's Healing Week Theme: 'Righteousness and Justice in the Healing Ministry'.

We are happy to inform you that the National Council of Churches in India (NCCI) has also become part of this initiative. CMAI has prepared the Bible Study and Prayers for their Churches. We have prepared a Liturgy Booklet for the Catholic Church. It contains Bible text, Reflections and Prayers to make the celebration of the Healing Week more meaningful. There is also a Poster that can be displayed (in healthcare institutions, parishes etc) during the Healing Week and especially on Healing Sunday.

Suggestions to Celebrate the Healing Ministry Week

i. In Healthcare Institutions

  1. Prayer Meetings
  2. Eucharistic Celebrations
  3. Organize awareness programs and meaningful celebrations for the staff engaged in healthcare.

ii. Community/Parish level

In collaboration with committed volunteers, organize events such as: Eucharistic Celebrations, Community celebration of the Blessings and Anointing of the Sick,

Liturgical Celebrations, ecumenical bible service, inter-religious prayer service for the sick, health awareness seminar, medical camps, cultural events, charitable events, etc

*The last paragraph in each reflection of the Liturgy and the last question is specific to the healthcare sector and can be omitted for the community / parish gatherings.
