Understanding the Sacrament
The Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of the Catholic Church. It is administered to individuals who are experiencing serious illness, undergoing surgery, or facing the challenges of aging. This sacrament is an opportunity for the sick person to receive spiritual strength, forgiveness, and calmness in their time of need.
At Connecticut Korean Presbyterian Church, we believe that the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is an act of compassion and love. It is a way for our community to come together and support those who are facing health difficulties, providing them with spiritual solace and invoking God's blessing upon them.
The Process of Anointing of the Sick
The process of the Anointing of the Sick involves the anointing of the forehead and hands of the sick person with holy oil that has been blessed by a priest. This anointing is accompanied by prayers for healing, forgiveness, and inner peace.
During the sacrament, the Church gathers around the sick person, offering them the support and encouragement they need during their time of illness or suffering. Our priests are experienced in providing the sacrament with utmost care and compassion, ensuring that the sick person feels embraced by the love of God and their faith community.
