WATCH: WEEK 42 | BE MY WITNESSES w/ BISHOP BOYEA | MISSION: VISIT THE SICK: This week in Be My Witnesses, Bishop Earl Boyea of Lansing challenges us to embrace the corporal work of mercy: visit the sick. This will most likely not eliminate the evil afflictions, says Bishop Boyea, but will cement our solidarity with one another in Christ. Then, if asked, offer an expression of your own faith or volunteer to pray for that person.

“I know some are ill at ease to visit a hospital or to be with the sick,” observes Bishop Boyea, “However, any separation of the those who bear the brunt of any evil from the rest of us is not the Christian way. Christ wants us to be one, to be together, to love as he loved. Though this may be difficult, grace can provide us with the courage and staying power to serve others in any need.”
