The healing that occurs in this sacrament of anointing is not necessarily physical healing. While we believe that physical healing can occur through the great power of God, the grace that is infused through this special sacrament is the reminder of the eternal presence of God in our human suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sacrament of the Anointing is offered at all the Masses one weekend during the Spring and again in the Fall.&nbsp;For the dates of these Masses, please call the parish office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual anointing is always available by calling the parish office. If you are aware of anyone seriously ill, at home or in the hospital, or who may be anticipating a serious surgery, you are urged to call the office as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-center has-white-color has-quaternary-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-026a20841af6a7ff3d09baf212dbc716\">God of all consolation,\nyou chose and sent your Son to heal the world.\nGraciously listen to our prayer of faith:\nSend the power of your Holy Spirit, the Consoler,\ninto this precious oil, this soothing ointment,\nthis rich gift, this fruit of the earth.\n\nMake this oil a remedy for all\nwho are anointed with it;\nheal them in body, soul, and in spirit,\nand deliver them from every affliction.\n(Pastoral care of the Sick)<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHe summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two\u2026&nbsp;They anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.\u201d Mark 6:7, 13 \u201cBy the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests, the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2501,"parent":597,"menu_order":47,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/page-tabs.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-609","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/609","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=609"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2507,"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/609\/revisions\/2507"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/597"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/assumptionbvm.com\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
