Hope does not disappoint” (Rom 5:5), but strengthens us in times of trial. Bethany sisters at Silchar, celebrated the 33rd World Day of the Sick in this Jubilee Year 2025, at Shishu Bhavan, Tarapur. It was a moment of joy and hope to around 60 inmates of Shishu Bhavan as they eagerly waited for our arrival. Sr Nirmala Toppo BS at the very outset enumerated the purpose of our gathering and welcomed the inmates telling them about the healing power of prayer and the solidarity we have to show to the suffering members of society, even when they themselves are one of them. The inmates, along with sisters of the Missionaries of Charity, Bethany Sisters and well-wishers, gathered in front of the decorated grotto which reflected the spirit of peace and healing.
 
Joy shared in Prayer- World Day of the Sick
In a meaningful prayer service that followed, we lifted them up to the Lord, instilling in them the hope in which the Church invites us to become “pilgrims of hope”. We reflected upon the gospel where Jesus healed Simon’s mother-in-law and many who were sick. In the intercessory prayers, we prayed for the divine healing for the sick, peace for the troubled, and strength for the caregivers. As the hymn was sung, all the sisters present prayed over all the residents for healing, strength and courage. The sense of unity and shared compassion filled the place. The prayer service was continued with honouring Our Lady, Health of the Sick by praying the Rosary in Bengali and Hindi languages. The residents too joined in, some through silent prayer, others in reciting rosary prayerfully. .

Throughout the service, there was a profound sense of joy and hope that seemed to uplift the spirits of all the inmates. Coming together in prayer brought a sense of purpose and solidarity among the inmates, reminding them that they are not alone in their struggles. Several inmates shared that the service provided them with a renewed sense of hope, helping them feel more connected not only to their faith but also to one another. The joy was not so much in physical well-being, but in the community’s loving presence, prayer, and encouragement. This shared experience of spiritual unity provided hope to the inmates, making them feel valued and cared for.
