Illness and Our Response • Illness and suffering can be some of the greatest
challenges in life
• One’s response can depend on one’s faith and relationship with the Lord
• In the Old Testament, we find prayers for healing often linked with repentance
• Psalm 6:3 “Have pity on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for my bones are shuddering”
• Isaiah speaks of redemptive suffering and a time when God will heal every illness
![Page 9: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Jesus as Healer • Jesus heals the whole person
• Physical healing and the forgiveness of sin
• The healing of the paralytic (Mk 2:5-12)
• Christ identifies himself with the sick
• “I was ill and you cared for me” (Mt 25:36)
• He allows the sick to touch Him (Mk 5:30-34)
• He uses signs to heal including the laying of hands (Mk 7:32-36; 8:22-25)
• Christ transforms our sufferings

• “...it (suffering) can henceforth configure us to him and unite us with his redemptive Passion.” (CCC 1505)
![Page 10: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Jesus Calls Us to Minister to the Sick
• Jesus calls his disciples to share in his ministry of healing and compassion
• Parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk 10:29-37)
• “Cure the sick…” (Mt 10:8)
• …they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them” (Mk 6:13)
• Peter heals Aeneas (Acts 9:34)
• “gifts of healing by the one Spirit” (1 Cor 12:9)
• Not all illnesses are cured
• “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor 12:9)
![Page 11: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Sick as Signs of Faith to the Community• By uniting their suffering to Christ, those who
are sick can be signs of faith and witnesses of Christ’s Resurrection to the entire community (Pope John Paul II, Christifideles Laici [The Vocation and the Mission of the Lay Faithful in the Church and in the World], no. 54).
![Page 12: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Apostolic Origins of Anointing of the Sick
• Apostolic church rite documented in the Letter of James:
• “Is any among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters of the Church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven” (Jas 5:14-15)
![Page 13: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Anointing of the Sick (1/2)
• Anyone in danger of death from serious illness or advanced agemay receive the sacrament
• It “is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point ofdeath.” (CCC1514)
• It is fitting to receive the sacrament just prior to a serious operation or for the elderly whose frailty becomes more pronounced
• May receive the sacrament more than once
• Both a liturgical and communal celebration
• May take place in the family home, a hospital, or church for a single sick person or a group of sick persons
• Others not receiving the sacrament may participate by their prayers and responses
• Liturgy of the Word, preceded by an act of repentance opens the celebration
• Words of Christ and witness of the apostles awaken the faith of sick person and the community to ask the Lord for the Strength of the Spirit (CCC 1518)
![Page 14: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Priest or Bishop lays hands on the sick and in silence prays over them in the faith of the church (CCC 1519)
• Priest or Bishop then anoints on the head and hands with blessed oil saying:
“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.” (CCC 1513)
Anointing of the Sick (2/2)
![Page 15: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Effects of the Sacrament (CCC 1520-1523)• Gift of the Holy Spirit
• Strengthening, peace and courage to overcome thedifficulties of the illness or advanced age
• Leads the sick person to healing of the soul but alsoof the body if such is God’s will
• Union with the passion of Christ
• Suffering becomes a participation in the saving workof Jesus
• An ecclesial grace
• The sick who receive this sacrament “contribute to the Good of the People of God”
• A preparation for the final journey
• Completes the holy anointings that mark the whole Christian life
• Baptism seals new life in us• Confirmation strengthens us for the combat of this life
• Anointing when in danger of death fortifies the end of our earthly life like a solid rampart for the final struggles before entering the Father’s House
![Page 16: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Viaticum, Last Sacrament of the Christian
• Viaticum is Holy Communion offered to those whoare about to leave this life
• The Sacrament of Christ once dead and now risen, the Eucharist is here the sacrament of passing over from death to life, from this world to the Father (CCC 1524)
• As Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist form the sacraments of Christian initiation, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick and the Eucharist as Viaticum are the sacraments that prepare for our heavenly homeland or complete our earthly pilgrimage(CCC 1525)
![Page 17: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
All are Called to be Beacons of Hope• Following [Christ’s] example, every Christian is called to
relive, in different and ever new contexts, the Parable ofthe Good Samaritan who, passing by a man whom robbers had left half-dead by the roadside, “saw him and had compassion.” (Pope Benedict XVI 2010 Message for the World Day of the Sick)
• Anointing of the Sick testifies to the fact that all are called to participate in the redemption of the world (Sacramentum Caritatis, no. 22).
• We all have a role in sanctifying and building up the Church, whatever our physical condition. As the Synod of Bishops told an audience of sick and suffering persons, “We need you to teach the whole world what love is” (Per Concilii Semitasad Populum Dei Nuntius, no. 12).
• From “Anointing of the Sick, Joined to Christ, Witnesses of Hope and Healing” USCCB 2013

HOLY ORDERS- SACRAMENT -
• Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission
entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in
the Church until the end of time; thus it is the sacrament of
apostolic ministry. (Catechism of the Catholic Church)
![Page 24: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
HOLY ORDERS
There are 3 ordained ministers that receive Holy Orders in the
Catholic Church (Canon 1009)
• Episcopate (Bishops)
• Presbyters or Priesthood (Priests)
• Diaconate (Deacons)
![Page 25: St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation for Adultsd2y1pz2y630308.cloudfront.net/24243/documents/2020/2/2020-02-04 MC Slides...Feb 04, 2020 · (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050602/5fa94a2bdd4d2c11e75e5e24/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
HOLY ORDERS- BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH -
• Christ himself is the source of ministry in the Church.
• He instituted the Church.
• He gave her the authority and its mission, orientation, and goal.
• It wasn’t his purpose to then wait fifteen hundred years for the
reformation for the Church to flourish.

HOLY ORDERS- BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH -
Later Church (Paul’s time)
• Bishops were first appointed by apostles as their successors. (1 Tim
3:2 and Titus 1:7)
• Presbyters are appointed to help bishops as communities flourish
and spread. (Acts 14:23, Acts 15:6, Acts 15:22, James 5:14)

HOLY ORDERS- BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH -
• St. Paul to his disciple Timothy (2 Tim 1:6), “I remind you to rekindle
the gift of God that is within you through the laying of hands.”
• To Titus, St. Paul says (Titus 1:5), “This is why I left you in Crete, … to
appoint presbyters in every town, as I directed you.”

APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION
• To pass on the teachings of Christ to the Apostles.
• To pass those teachings obtained by the Apostles to bishops, priests
and deacons of the early Church.
• Then by laying on hands, pass this charism to the next generations,
and then the next, and until the end of time.
• And to direct and guide the Church through the magisterium and
councils.
