The Main Points to Teach Your Child:

1. 1. The Sacraments are divided into three groups...

      • Initiation, Healing, and Service

      • Anointing of the Sick is a Sacrament of Healing

   2. God gives us the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick to...

      • be with us in our suffering

      • to help us in our suffering

   3. Outward Signs of Confession are...

      • Matter -- the material used- - Anointing with Oil.

      • Form -- the words said -- “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."

   4. Instituted by Christ --Anointing of the Sick began with Jesus

      • Jesus makes this a constant part of His Ministry. Jesus' healings are proof to His cousin, John the Baptist, the HE (Jesus) is the one...

"...Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight , the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is he who takes no offense at me." Luke 7:19-23

1. 4. • Jesus commisssions the Apostles giving them the authority to heal in His name ( Jesus' healing) Matthew 10:1,5-8

      • This authority is passed on through the Sacrament of Holy Orders to the Pope, Bishop, and Priest.

A Note from Julie:

Dear Parents,

The Crown Retreat continues, and our journey through this time isolation continues; my reflection on how my life has changed continues and I cannot help but wonder what you have experienced in your lives over the past 6 weeks?

I recently heard someone share the following thought, "..these are difficult times for us all -- full of fear, grief, trama. God certainly didn't send it, BUT He will use it." How might God use me at this time? ...to make me a better person? ...to bring me a step closer to being the person God intends me to be? ...to allow Him to enter into my suffering in order to help others?

I pray the Lord will grant each of us peace. May He continue to bless us with His Grace by which we may be open to His working in us and through us to leads others to Him.

God bless,

-Julie Sheridan
