It's the day that the Blessed Mother appeared in Lourdes to St. Bernadette and, where thousand and thousand of people have been healed from bodily and spiritual sickness.

Dear Friend,
11When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, "The gods have come down to us in human form!" 12Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. 13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.
14But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15"Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them. 16In the past, he let all nations go their own way. 17Yet he has not left himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy." 18Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.
Worship only God in Jesus name, for only he is worthy of your praise.
God Bless

Find 1 poor sick person and buy him/her medicine to cure his/her sickness. Go to an orphanage and wash or bath a sick person and give him/her some goodies to Cheer him/her up. That will do a world of good to 1 sick person, much more productive than the whole world saying prayers for all sick people of the world.

Good idea, but of course like any 'designated memorial day' it's about awareness. Take it to the bank that awareness is a beginning, a day of the year a novel note but one which helps perpetuate the cause.
So yep, it may seem useless to some, but - like spreading cheer or growing ill feelings, it can make a cause 'catch on.'

I'm still praying for lost limbs to grow back. It aint gonna happen. Talking to yourself don't achieve anything. Only madness.
