Reflection for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sat, 09/08/2018-12:00amWhat is the Anointing of the Sick? On the First Saturday of the month at the daily morning mass, this sacrament is celebrated, but what is it really? The following is taken from various parts of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
The Church believes and confesses that among the seven sacraments there is one especially intended to strengthen those who are being tried by illness, the Anointing of the Sick. Through the anointing with the blessed oil of the sick, the Church supports those who struggle against illness or injury and continues this healing work of Christ.
