DESCRIPTION:The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick\,  one of the seven sa
 craments of the Roman Catholic Church\, used to be  called &ldquo\;the L
 ast Rites&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;Extreme Unction&rdquo\; because it was usua
 lly  reserved for the dying person. But since 1972\, the sacrament is  a
 vailable and recommended not just for the dying but for all Catholics  w
 ho are &ldquo\;sick&rdquo\; in any way.\nAnd so\, if someone is diagnose
 d with an  illness\, is struggling with addiction\,&nbsp\; depression\, 
 anxiety\, is awaiting  surgery\, has a chronic condition\, is suffering 
 with chronic pain\, or  feels in need of healing\, it is fitting to rece
 ive this sacrament.\nThere are three parts to this  sacrament:&nbsp\; th
 e prayer of faith\, the laying-on of hands and the  anointing with oil. 
 In the prayer of faith\, the whole community prays to  God for the perso
 n receiving the sacrament. The laying-on of hands on  the person&rsquo\;
 s head is a sign of blessing\, a prayer for the presence of  the Holy Sp
 irit and reminds us of the way in which Jesus healed:&nbsp\; &ldquo\;and
   he laid hands on every one of them and healed them&rdquo\; (Luke 4:40b
 ).  Anointing the forehead and hands with oil symbolizes healing\,  stre
 ngthening and the presence of the Holy Spirit.\nIn addition to other set
 tings\, it has  become a common practice to celebrate this sacrament dur
 ing a designated  Mass. The sacrament invites us to place our trust in G
 od\, to open  ourselves to the Spirit&rsquo\;s presence and to acknowled
 ge Jesus as the  source of all strength for our journey.\nPlease join us
  on Saturday\, Feb. 9 at the 4 p.m. Mass to receive the Sacrament of Ano
 inting\, if you are in need\, and/or to pray for those who will receive 
 this Sacrament.
