Sacraments of Healing
Confession | Anointing of the Sick
quote-left
Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you."
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
"Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them;
if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld."
John 20:21-22
Reconciliation
quote-left
Jesus' call to conversion and penance, like that of the prophets before him,
does not aim at outward works, "sackcloth and ashes," fasting and mortification,
but at the conversion of the heart, interior conversion.
CCC#1430
We are all sinners, constantly in need of the mercy and forgiveness of our loving God.
By participating in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we allow ourselves, in a concrete way,
to let go of the things we've placed before loving God and others, and allow him to restore those areas
with His own very presence and healing, which keeps us in a state of Sacramental grace.
Anointing of the Sick
quote-left
By 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 may raise them up and save them.
