I thought it will be good tooffer the anointing of the sick this weekend afterall the Masses. All who need healing from avariety of spiritual, emotional or physical ills arewelcome to receive the Sacrament of Anointing ofthe Sick. Mondays and Tuesdays from12:00noon 9:00p.m. in SacredHeart of Jesus Church AdorationChapel. Monday: Dn 13:1 9, 15 17, 19 30, 33 62 or 13:41c 62/Ps 23:1 3a, 3b 4, 5 6/Jn 8:12 20 Tuesday: Nm 21:4 9/Ps 102:2 3, 16 18, 19 21/Jn8:21 30 Wednesday: Dn 3:14 20, 91 92, 95/Dn 3:52, 53, 54,55, 56/Jn 8:31 42 Thursday: Gn 17:3 9/Ps 105:4 5, 6 7, 8 9/Jn 8:51 59 Friday: Jer 20:10 13/Ps 18:2 3a, 3bc 4, 5 6, 7/Jn10:31 42 Saturday: Ez 37:21 28/Jer 31:10, 11 12abcd, 13/Jn11:45 56 The Catechism of the Catholic Church states,“This sacred anointing of the sick was institutedby Christ our Lord as a true and proper sacramentof the New Testament (James 5:14 15 and Mark6:13). The special grace of the sacrament of theAnointing of the Sick has as its effects: theuniting of the sick person to the passion of Christ,for his own good and that of the whole Church;the strengthening, peace, and courage to endure ina Christian manner the sufferings of illness or oldage; the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person wasnot able to obtain it through the sacrament ofPenance; the restoration of health, if it isconducive to the salvation of his soul; thepreparation for passing over to eternal life. (CCC,1532) Here I wish to clarify a commonmisunderstanding: This sacrament used to bereferred to as Extreme Unction or Last Rites,which sometimes led people to believe that theonly proper time to call the priest for thissacrament is when someone is about to die. TheChurch wants us to know that this Sacrament canbe administered several times for the same person,if necessary. One might certainly becomeseriously ill more than once in a lifetime, or mayface serious surgery on several occasions. In eachinstance, one can receive this anointing. Weencounter Jesus the divine healer at every Mass.Anointing of the sick is an opportunity foreveryone to pray for the Lord’s healing touchupon whatever we need to be free from anillness or mind, body or soul, an inability toforgive, unhealthy tendencies. Immediately afterthe weekend masses I will be available in thechurch to offer the anointing of the sick. Fr. Jose Holy Thursday Sacred Heart at 7:00pm Good Friday Sacred Heart at 3:00pm Holy Saturday Sacred Heart at 9:00pm Easter Sunday Sacred Heart at 8:00am St. Anthony at 10:00am
