Celebrate?
To many people, times of illness and suffering
seem senseless and devoid of meaning,
permeated by an overwhelming emptiness.

by the whole Christian community
that Gods gracious concern does not
leave us in times of suffering, illness,
and even death.

Gods Loving Concern


Gods loving concern for sick,
suffering, or dying people is the first
and foremost truth celebrated in the
sacrament of Anointing.

Knowing that God cares


about us when we are
hurting can have a powerful
healing effect on us.

Healing the Whole


Person
If you or someone close to you has ever been
seriously injured or been sick, you know that
being sick affects all of you your body, mind,
and soul. Physical illnesses do not just affect
our
body. Likewise, emotional difficulties

usually have
some sort of negative impact on your
physical
health. Such as depression.
