Calling the comfort of the Lord upon the sick...

Rowan Williams is the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Anglican Church. His video message for World Aids Day (December 1) has much to offer to all peoples of good faith and in particular to all who share faith in Christ.

Pope Benedict has also called us to join in prayer on December 1 for a cure for this disease and for all who suffer with it: "This coming December 1 marks World AIDS Day. I wish greatly that this occasion promotes an increased responsibility for the care of this illness, together with the pledge of avoiding each instance of discrimination toward the many stricken with it. Calling the comfort of the Lord upon the sick and their families, I encourage the many initiatives that the Church maintains in this area."
