J.M.J.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
“'Are you envious because I am generous?' Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
Do I envy those who are more generous than I? What if I were to rejoice instead? How God wants us to give thanks when those who have gifts share them freely! This is how we really experience unity among us, when: we love the Lord and one another; we rejoice when each person reaches the spiritual heights that God has designated for him.
*Let us pray for +Maralyn Marks, Michael Grove, Father Jonathan Venner, Elizabeth Bullard, Father Daniel Wolfgram, Marilyn Finley, Monsignor Stephen Barnett, Father Daniel Moris, Diane Moen, Father Dana Christensen, Father Ken Lulf, Ugo Cavallero, Father John Rader, Kathy Engerbrecht, Bishop James Conley, Noelle Martinez, Monsignor James Doyle and Analis Dannen.
*Thank you for your prayers for all students and teachers who are beginning the C.R.E. year in our three Parishes.
"What is Your Question?"
By Father Ben Miriam
Q. Who is eligible to receive the Anointing of the Sick?
A. The Anointing of the Sick is one of the Seven Sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ. The Code of Canon Law states: "The anointing of the sick, by which the Church commends the Faithful who are dangerously ill to the suffering and glorified Lord in order that He relieve and save them, is conferred by anointing them with Oil and pronouncing the words prescribed in the liturgical books." (Canon 998) Furthermore, "The Anointing of the Sick can be administered to a member of the Faithful who, having reached the use of reason, begins to be in danger due to sickness or old age." (Canon 1004, §1). Please contact your parish priest should you or someone you know need the Anointing of the Sick.
