The Bishop of Funchal, D. Nuno Brás, presided over the Eucharist celebrating the 53rd anniversary of Dr. Nélio Mendonça Hospital in Madeira. In his homily, the bishop emphasized the transience of life and human fragility, noting that the hospital is a place where this perception becomes more pronounced.
Reflecting on biblical readings, D. Nuno Brás addressed the apparent contradiction between human suffering and the happiness announced by Jesus, explaining that fragility and pain can lead to the discovery of God as a source of comfort and strength. This year's celebration theme is 'For 53 years, dedicated to what matters most: Life'.
