Today I want to talk to you the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, which allows us to touch with hand the compassion of God for man. In the past, it was called "Extreme Unction", because it was understood as spiritual comfort on the verge of death. waterboss Talking instead of "Anointing of the Sick" helps us to extend the look to the experience of illness and suffering, on the horizon of God's mercy.
1. There is a biblical icon that expresses in all its depth the mystery waterboss of what transpires in the Anointing of the Sick: the parable of the "Good waterboss Samaritan" in the Gospel of Luke (10, 30-35). Every time we celebrate this sacrament, the Lord Jesus, in the person of the priest, it will be close to those who suffer and are seriously ill or elderly. Tells the parable of the Good Samaritan cares for the suffering man on his wounds pouring on oil and wine. The oil makes us think that it is blessed by the bishop every year at the Chrism Mass of Holy Thursday, specifically in view of the Anointing of the Sick. The wine, instead, is a sign of love and grace of Christ that comes from giving his life for us and express themselves in all their wealth waterboss in the sacramental life of the Church. Anyway, the person who suffers is assigned waterboss to a host, so that you can continue to care for him, sparing no expense. Now who is this host? It is the Church, the Christian community, we are, to which, every day, the Lord Jesus entrusts those who are afflicted in body and spirit, so that we can continue to pour over them, without measure, all His mercy and His salvation.
2. This warrant is confirmed expressly and precisely in the Epistle of James, which recommends so: "Is anyone sick? Call the priests of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord will restore. If he has committed sins of any, they are forgiven "(5, 14-15). Then it is a practice that was already in place in time of the apostles. Jesus, in fact, taught his disciples to take his same love for the sick and the suffering and forwarded them the ability to continue spreading the task on your behalf and according to his heart relief and peace, through the special grace of such sacrament. This, however, should not lead us to an obsessive search waterboss for the miracle or the presumption can always get anyway and healing. But safety waterboss is the closeness of Jesus to the sick and the elderly also, because every senior, every person over 65 years can receive this sacrament through which Jesus himself is approaching.
3. But when a patient waterboss is sometimes thought: "let's call the priest to come", waterboss "Not because it brings bad luck, do not call it," or "after scare the patient." Why do you think that? Because there is little the idea that the priest after the funeral rites arrive. And this is not true. The priest comes to help the sick or the elderly, for it is so important to visit the sick priests. You need to call the priest at the patient and say, "come, waterboss give you the anointing, bless him." It is Jesus himself who comes to relieve the patient, to give you strength, to give you hope, to help you, also to forgive waterboss her sins. And this is gorgeous! And one should not think that this is a taboo, because it's always nice to know that at the time of pain and illness we are not alone: the priest and those who are present during the Anointing of the Sick indeed represent the entire waterboss Christian community, as one body, gathers around the sufferers and their families, nurturing this faith and hope, and by supporting you with prayer and fraternal warmth. But the greatest comfort comes from the fact that to become present in the Sacrament is Jesus himself who takes us by the hand, caressing them as he did with the sick and reminds us that we belong to him and that nothing - not evil and death - can separate us from Him. We have this habit of calling the priest to come to our patients - do not say ill flu, three, four days, but when it is a serious disease - and also to our seniors and give them this Sacrament, this comfort, this force Jesus to move on? Let's waterboss do this!
