(3RD SUNDAY OF THE SECOND MONTH
OF THE QTR)
All are invited to participate in the Service
of Healing, either for oneself or on the
behalf of another. Laying on hands and
anointing with oil play a central role in
the healings recorded in the New
Testament. Jesus often touched
others -- blessing children, washing feet,
healing injuries or disease, and raising
people from death. Biblical precedent
combines with our natural desire to
reach out to persons in need in prompting
us to touch gently and lovingly those who
ask for healing prayers. Such an act is a
tangible expression of the presence of
the healing Christ, working in and
through those who minister in his name.
Anointing the forehead with oil is an act
invoking the healing love of God. The
oil points beyond itself and those doing
the anointing to the action of the Holy
Spirit and the presence of the healing
Christ, who is God's Anointed One.
