Anointing of the Sick
Anointing of the sick is the Sacrament in which those who are ill are anointed to impart spiritual strength and physical healing.
The celebration of the anointing of the sick is a prayer of faith, a belief that God is with us, cares deeply for us, and desires our wholeness. When this sacrament is administered, the priest lays his hands on the head of the sick, silently prays for them, and then anoints the person with the oil of the sick, one of the three blessed oils used sacramentally, on their forehead and hands.
~ Anointing with oil
~ Words: "Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord, who frees you from sin save you and raise you up."
If you or a loved one is in need of healing, please contact the Parish Office. (508) 829-4508 or email: [email protected]
