Mass of
the Healing Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick
Saturday, November 7, Good Shepherd
Parish will celebrate a Healing Mass at 11Am. Many people have asked what
is a "Healing Mass" ? It is a Mass where the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the sick will be celebrated. The purpose of the sacrament is
to unite the ones who are sick, the elderly, those who suffer from
emotional and physical problems with the suffering, death, and
resurrection of Christ. So, those who receive the sacrament may know the
healing presence and love of the Lord, strengthened in faith, and
experience the support of the church. This Sacrament is a prayer, normally
celebrated with sufficient time and suitable surroundings. The Mass is
wonderful setting to celebrate this Sacrament. There is no absolute nor
emergency requirement for this sacrament. It can be celebrated with anyone
at least seven years of age. We invite all who would like to receive this
sacrament and their caregivers to this special Mass. |
