Its president, Mgr. Rino Fisichella, has come twice in recent months, sent by the Pope, for a detailed visit to the Sanctuary of Lourdes, to learn about its evangelising dynamics, its pastoral projects, as well as its economic and financial means.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20f4d603 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"20f4d603\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"color: #e8a700;\"><b>Evangelization work <\/b> <\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51850e33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51850e33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At a time like ours, which is often marked by individuals withdrawing into themselves without any possibility of inter-personal relationships and by the fact that delegating seems to be gaining the upper hand over direct participation, the call to social responsibility commits people to a testimony showing that they care for their brothers and sisters in greater need. There is nothing extraordinary for us in that; in fact, this is our history. Following the Lord\u2019s word, we stubbornly insisted on favouring everything that the world has refused, considering it useless and underperforming. The chronically ill, the dying, outsiders, disabled people, and any other person who in the eyes of the world expresses lack of future and hope encounter the commitment of the Christians. We have examples that forcefully remind us of the holiness of men and women who made this programme a concrete preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and, with it, the start of a true cultural revolution. Faced with this holiness, any possible alibi collapses. Utopia gives way to credibility and to the passion for truth and freedom which find their synthesis in a love that\u2019s given without asking for anything in return.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7e8cca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a7e8cca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Before this backdrop, the precious assistance provided by so many physicians and nurses at the Sanctuary of Lourdes acquires significance as true Christian preaching, taking the dignity of each individual into serious consideration. How important this presence is in the life of the Sanctuary! \u2013 not only for those working there day by day, who are tangible signs of proximity and assistance, but also for the groups and associations coming to the Sanctuary as pilgrims. At a time when everything seems to become possible only because it is bought, there should be many more signs showing that love and solidarity have no other price than personal commitment and sacrifice. This testimony demonstrates that a person\u2019s life finds its complete fulfilment only when it is placed before the backdrop of gratuitousness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66b4d14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"66b4d14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>The Shrine as a <span style=\"color: #e8a702;\">place of mercy<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa46ea9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aa46ea9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><i><\/i><em>Sanctuarium in Ecclesia<\/em> reminds us that the Shrine is a privileged place where the pilgrims experience God\u2019s mercy, especially when they receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (cfr. SiE 4). It is sufficient to see the crowds in the Chapel of Reconciliation to understand the meaning of these words. But physicians, too, can let the sick experience God\u2019s mercy by their highly valuable and often silent ministry. Visiting the sick belongs in its own right to the <em>seven corporal works of mercy<\/em>. After all, Jesus himself lived this work at first hand. He cured sick people with all kinds of illnesses: blind, deaf, mute, and even lepers, the outcasts of society. Some of them he cured from a distance, such as the Centurion\u2019s servant or the Syrophoenician woman\u2019s daughter, thanks to their great faith. He also healed several people possessed by demons. It is evident that Jesus spent a lot of his time with the sick. In this sense, the physicians playing an active role at the Sanctuary experience one further grace: it\u2019s the sick who come to visit them, and it\u2019s them who ask for help to be able to accomplish something that is important to them, like the pilgrimage to the Grotto of the Mother of God. The words of the Gospel, that touch the physicians in the first place, cannot but find a strong echo in them: \u201cWhatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me\u201d (Mt 25:40). <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98012e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"98012e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>A glimpse of <span style=\"color: #e8a702;\">Paradise<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d206fe0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d206fe0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In <em>Sanctuarium in Ecclesia<\/em> we read: \u201cThese places, despite the crisis of faith that is affecting the contemporary world, are still perceived as sacred spaces to which pilgrims go to find a moment of rest, silence and contemplation in today\u2019s often hectic life\u201d (SiE 3). It is thus also thanks to many physicians that those coming to Lourdes as pilgrims can really <em>get a glimpse of paradise<\/em>: a place where everything seems to have been conceived to favour the sick and put them in first place. Here, they are welcomed not as guests, but as protagonists. The daily activities are conceived and implemented for their wellbeing. One of the most beautiful aspects of the pilgrimage for the sick is the quantity of love lavished on them by people they have never met before. Stretcher bearers and dames, especially young people who have had no previous contacts with sick people, do their best to make these least ones feel comfortable and convince them that they are loved. Serving the sick during a pilgrimage to a place of this kind can deeply consolidate the Christian values of a young adult.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2558dd1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2558dd1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b>The sick as <span style=\"color: #e8a702;\">evangelisers<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-200b4fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"200b4fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In this context, we must not forget that the sick and disabled pilgrims are called in person to become evangelisers themselves by including their illness and pain in the mystery of the Cross and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12133b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12133b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>John Paul II reminded of this deep truth when he said: \u201cDear brothers and sisters who experience suffering in a particular way, you are called to a special mission in the new evangelization and to find your inspiration in Mary, Mother of love and human pain. You are supported in this difficult witness by health-care workers, family members and the volunteers who accompany you on your daily path of suffering\u201d. So, we may say that the sick are truly the first evangelisers at the Lourdes Sanctuary. They are called to internalise the awareness and responsibility of preaching the good news of the saving Gospel starting from their own condition. This is quite meaningful also for those accompanying and assisting them, because it forces to look more intensely and committedly to the education that no-one can do without, so as to live the beauty of the Faith with ever greater awareness. Nobody turns into an evangeliser all of a sudden or manages to give pain a meaning overnight. All this requires preparation, and this preparation grows and ripens together with the Faith in the mystery of an active and real participation in Christ\u2019s mystery and in the life of communion with Him that is offered by baptism. This outlook enables us to look at each sick pilgrim with the eyes of Faith to recognize the presence of Christ, who is asking for help and offering his saving love in exchange. With these eyes of Faith, many physicians have the privilege of experiencing first-hand how much grace is spread over the Sanctuary and how much love is offered by the Virgin Mary to the point that people are able to do things that go beyond science and reveal the miracle of creation transformed and saved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bb792f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5bb792f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f3ca03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9f3ca03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In conclusion, we can resume the words of Pope Francis with their provocative force: \u201cBeing Church means being God\u2019s people, in accordance with the great plan of his fatherly love. This means that we are to be God\u2019s leaven in the midst of humanity. It means proclaiming and bringing God\u2019s salvation into our world, which often goes astray and needs to be encouraged, given hope and strengthened on the way. The Church must be a place of mercy freely given, where everyone can feel welcomed, loved, forgiven and encouraged to live the good life of the Gospel\u201d (Evangelii gaudium 114). This implies \u2013 in the whole life of the Sanctuary and therefore also in the work of the physicians, nurses and medical staff \u2013 not letting oneself be overwhelmed by the many activities or contingent needs in order to aim at the essential aspect that any pilgrim is looking for in his innermost, especially if he is sick or disabled: plunging into the mystery of the Faith that brings hope, because one has experienced true love.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-211d514 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"211d514\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>H.E.
