We may understand medicine like never before, but we don’t understand Christ’s healing. Healing itself comes primarily from God through love.
The Bible looks at healing always from the point of view of faith. Actually, faith is seen as the foundation for healing: “Your faith has healed you.”
Faith’s healing and gift to us offers us belonging—belonging to God and to a community. Through belonging, we experience meaning and peace. Faith is the experience of being loved by a loving Creator who is closer to us than we are to ourselves.
Priests have accompanied the sick and dying throughout the pandemic; they have been there for families and hospital personnel also.

Every day amidst the pandemic, health workers all over the world put their lives on the line to serve patients. This is the story of one of these masked heroes.
St. Joseph, who cared for his family through his work, is a source of inspiration for anyone who advocates for a dignified life. Inspired by the Saint, Brother Alberto shares his experience in Nairobi with slum dwellers in their struggle for dignified life.
Saint Joseph, “the just man” as the Gospel calls him, embraced God’s plan even though it was difficult to understand. He accepted Mary as his wife and protected the child Jesus in a creative way. He is a model of faith.
The COVID-19 pandemic that claimed many lives and continues to overwhelm the whole world, has obliged many people to live isolated and hidden. Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus who lived a hidden life, is more than ever the patron saint we need in these trying times.
Most Churches have stressed God’s continuous anger at our sins. Some Christian thinkers did not gladly support the idea of joy in one’s life. However, the Bible gives much importance to joy in people’s lives; God is shown as being happy and pursuing delight.
