J
esus Christ remains the succour of
the sick and those who are heavily
burdened, the sure path to lasting

health and true happiness, says Arch-
bishop Alfred Adewale Martins.

He said this recently at a Mass held at
Holy Cross Cathedral to celebrate the
2020 World Day of the sick.

The Mass which was part of the ac-
tivities organized by the Directorate of

Health of the Archdiocese led by Sister

Theresa Afareha, was concelebrated by
the Cathedral Administrator, Rev Fr

Marcellinus Teko, the Director of So-
cial Communications, Rev Fr Anthony

Godonu and the Secretary to the Arch-
bishop, Rev Fr Vitalis Ezeigwe.

According to the Archbishop, the Day

is set aside by the church in order to de-
liver messages of hope to the sick and

infirmed.
“While on earth, those that were sick

approached Jesus with faith for healing.
As many as came to him were healed of
all their sicknesses. As many as touched

the helm of His garment received heal-
ing. Never ever lose hope. Touch the

garment of Jesus in prayers and be
healed.”.
He encouraged the sick to always be
encouraged by the words of Jesus when
He said “Come to me all you who are
overburdened and I will give you rest.”

He reminded them that God’s prom-
ises are never in vain and do not go un-
fulfilled.

The Mass was attended by Catholic
doctors, nurses and health workers in

various medical fields in the Archdio-
cese of Lagos.

The highlight of the event was the
anointing of the sick people present at

the Mass. This was later followed by In-
teractive session.
