Archbishop Mgr Paul Cremona concelebrated Mass at the Mosta parish church yesterday on the occasion of the World Day of the Sick, as well as the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes.
The main celebration to mark the day was held in Seoul, South Korea.
A few days ago the Holy See published a decree of the Apostolic Penitentiary announcing the concession of indulgencies to the faithful for the World Day of the Sick.
According to the decree, plenary indulgences will be granted to the faithful who attended the celebration. Partial indulgence will be conceded to all the faithful who between February 9 and 11 prayed according to the intentions of the World Day of the Sick, especially for those suffering incurable or terminal disease.
