About the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick
Welcome to New Community Rising Church's Saint Raymond branch, where we offer the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Our church believes in the power of faith and the importance of spiritual support in times of illness, both physical and emotional. This sacrament, also known as the Last Rites or Extreme Unction, provides comfort, strength, and healing to those facing physical or mental health challenges.
Understanding the Purpose and Benefits
The Anointing of the Sick is a sacred momentin which the priest lays hands on the sick person, marking them with the sign of the cross and anointing them with holy oil. This ritual is not only a source of physical healing but also brings spiritual and emotional comfort to individuals who are suffering. It is not limited to those facing imminent death, but rather offered to anyone in need of God's healing grace and strength.
The Healing Power of Faith
At New Community Rising Church, we believe in the healing power of faith. The Anointing of the Sick is a powerful reminder of the love and compassion that God has for each of His children. Through this sacrament, we seek to witness His comforting presence, lifting the burdens of the sick and granting them peace in their time of need. Our priests are trained to administer the sacrament with reverence, compassion, and respect for the individual's unique circumstances.
