DEACON'S DIARY
ADVERSITY
Adversity makes us wise, not rich.
- Proverbs 23:4
The Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick
The Anointing of the Sick; “Extreme Unction” known to some as the “Last Rites” is administered to bring spiritual and physical strength during an illness. It is a rite that is performed to convey God’s grace to the recipient, through the power of the Holy Spirit. The anointing “is not a sacrament for only those who are at the point of death” but is intended for the seriously ill. The Sacrament may be repeated, if one recovers and becomes ill again, before surgery, the elderly and frail. Anyone who is seriously ill is encouraged to receive this Sacrament by calling the Parish Office 425-353-1211
