Is It Necessary To Be In Danger of Death To Receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick? NO!

“If anyone is sick among you, he should summon the priests of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.” (James 5:14)

The document on the liturgy from the Second Vatican Council (Sacrosanctum Concilium) notes that the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick “is a sacrament not only for those who are at the point of death.” This Sacrament of God’s mercy and healing is by no means only for those who are dying. According to the Rite for this Sacrament, a person need not be in danger of death, but “dangerously ill”, either from sickness or advanced age. This means that those who are older may receive this Sacrament, if they are weakened by the ordinary infirmities of old age, even if they are not suffering from any specific affliction or disease. It is important to recall that the illness and suffering need not only be physical.

On Saturday, April 13th at 9:00am, we will be celebrating a bi-lingual Mass, which will include the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. It will be an opportunity for us to join together with those are suffering and offer them the company of our faith, hope, and love. If you are ill, please join us. If you are weak from age—even if there is no dangerous illness present—please let us pray with you. If you have a loved one who is dangerously ill due to sickness or old age, please bring him/her.

“The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick brings Jesus closer to those in need, strengthening their faith and hope. It permits us to touch with our hands God's compassion for humanity. The priest and those who are

present during the anointing of the sick, in fact, represent the whole Christian community, who, as one body with Jesus, embrace the person who is suffering and his or her family members, providing them with strength and hope

and sustaining them with their prayers and love.” (Pope Francis) Msgr. Geno Sylva

Es necesario estar en peligro de muerte para recibir el Sacramento de la Unción de los Enfermos? ¡NO!

"Si hay algún enfermo entre ustedes, debe llamar a los sacerdotes de la iglesia, y ellos oraran por él y lo

ungirán con el aceite en el nombre del Señor" (Santiago 5:14)

El documento sobre la liturgia del Concilio Vaticano II (Sacrosanctum Concilium) señala que el Sacramento de la Unción de los Enfermos "es un sacramento no solo para aquellos que están a punto de morir". Este Sacramento de la misericordia y la curación de Dios no es por ningún medio para aquellos que están muriendo. Según el Rito para este sacramento, una persona no necesita estar en peligro de muerte, sino que está "enferma de manera peligrosa", ya sea por enfermedad o edad avanzada. Esto significa que aquellos que son mayores pueden recibir este Sacramento, si están debilitados por las enfermedades comunes de la vejez, incluso si no padecen ninguna aflicción o enfermedad específica. Es importante recordar que la enfermedad y el sufrimiento no solo tienen que ser físicos.

El sábado 13 de abril a las 9:00 am, celebraremos una misa bilingüe, que incluirá el Sacramento de la Unción de los Enfermos. Será una oportunidad para que nos unamos a los que están sufriendo y les ofrezcamos la compañía de nuestra fe, esperanza y amor. Si estás enfermo, únete a nosotros. Si estas débil de edad, incluso si no ninguna enfermedad peligrosa, permítenos orar con usted. Y si tiene un ser querido que está gravemente enfermo debido a una enfermedad o vejez, tráigalo.

“El Sacramento de la Unción de los Enfermos acerca a Jesús a los necesitados, fortaleciendo su fe y esperanza. Nos permite tocar con nuestras manos la compasión de Dios por la humanidad. De hecho, el sacerdote y los que están presentes durante la unción de los enfermos representan a toda la comunidad cristiana, quienes, como

un solo cuerpo con Jesús, abrazan a la persona que sufre y a los miembros de su familia, brindándoles fortaleza y esperanza. y sosteniéndolos con sus oraciones y su amor ". (Papa Francisco) Mons. Geno Sylva
