Visit the Sick

This week we delve into Visiting the Sick and Rights on the Worker. I give you three components straight from the New Testament about caring for the sick, and share a story about a time I received care and healing. I included a video below about ways we can all, the big, the small, the fury, and not so fury, care for the sick.

Here is the High School lesson for this week:

February Week 1:

Each week you will receive a thought provoking question that has to do with the themes for the month. This month, the themes are Visiting the Sick, and the Catholic Social Teaching, Rights of the Worker.

Use your journal to privately respond to the question. You may also find it beneficial to have your journal handy for the Sunday Night lessons.

Here is your journal question for this week:

How would you answer someone who says they have prayed for healing, but are still sick?

Healer

I want to introduce you to some new Christian music every week through the rest of the year. This song was introduced to me at a Youth Ministry conference. At the time, my father was receiving treatment for lymphoma. This brought me comfort.

Mental Health

With the pandemic still going, the collective mental health of the world population is facing a difficult recovery. Suicide, mental anxiety, and stress are all rising.

We all approach our mental health differently. It is universally accepted, however, that we need some kind of outlet. My brother, a physician in New York, recently shared with me an app called Gris, which has helped him deal with the death, long hours, and stress he has experienced and witnessed in the past 10 months.

Fr. Mike Schmidt has started a new podcast called The Bible in a Year, which goes through the bible and discusses various themes and meanings. This is a wonderful way to alleviate the daily grind and worry.

Finally, if you are struggling mentally, I encourage you to reach out to a licensed health professional to talk, seek advice, or any other help you might need. It is difficult for us to be united as a church if we do not feel whole inside. Partners in Change has set up a series of local doctors to speak once a month via Google Meet.
