GOSPEL READING

John 14:27-31. “At the end of the age, the angels will come out and separate
the evil from the righteous."
and his answers”.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world
gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard
me say to you, "I am going away, and I am coming to you." If you loved me, you
would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
And now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may
believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming.
He has no power over me; but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the
world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us be on our way."

Opening Prayer: Dear God, the qualities I see

lived out so well in some people are a reflection
of your goodness, and I know that I have much
to learn from other people who reflect your
image and likeness in different ways. Inspire me
to respect others fully as my equals, seeing and
loving in them what you see and love in them.
Amen. (Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be).

St. John Baptist de la Salle, pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!

(… Continuation of the Seven Sacraments)

https://sttmformation.org/healing

THE HEALING MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH

From the Vatican, 20 November 2011,
Solemnity of our Lord Jesus Christ, Universal King.
BENEDICTUS PP XVI

The encounter of Jesus with the ten lepers, narrated by the Gospel of Saint Luke (cf. Lk
17:11- 19), and in particular the words that the Lord addresses to one of them, “Stand up
and go; your faith has saved you” (v. 19), help us to become aware of the importance of
faith for those who, burdened by suffering and illness, draw near to the Lord. In their

9
encounter with him, they can truly experience
that he who believes is never alone! God,
indeed, in his Son, does not abandon us to our
anguish and sufferings, but is close to us,
helps us to bear them, and wishes to heal us
in the depths of our hearts (cf. Mk 2:1-12).

The faith of the lone leper who, on seeing that

he was healed, full of amazement and joy, and
unlike the others, immediately went back to
Jesus to express his gratitude, enables us to
perceive that reacquired health is a sign of
https://stmichaellivermore.com/blog/life-full
something more precious than mere physical
healing, it is a sign of the salvation that God gives us through Christ; it finds expression in
the words of Jesus: your faith has saved you. He who is suffering and ill pray to the Lord is
certain that God’s love will never abandon him, and also that the love of the Church, the
extension in time of the Lord’s saving work, will never fail. Physical healing, an outward
expression of the deepest salvation, thus reveals the importance that man – in his entirety
of soul and body – has for the Lord. Each sacrament, for that matter, expresses and
actuates the closeness of God himself, who, in a freely-given way, “touches us through
material things … that he takes up into his service, making them instruments of the
encounter between us and himself” (Homily, Chrism Mass, 1 April 2010). “The unity
between creation and redemption is made visible. The sacraments are an expression of the
physicality of our faith, which embraces the whole person, body and soul” (Homily, Chrism
Mass, 21 April 2011).

The principal task of the church is certainly proclaiming the kingdom of God, “but this very
proclamation must be a process of healing: ‘bind up the broken-hearted’ (Is 61:1)”,
according to the charge entrusted by Jesus to his disciples (cf. Lk 9:1-2; Mt 10:1,5-14; Mk
6:7-13). The tandem of physical health and renewal after lacerations of the soul thus helps
us to understand better the “sacraments of healing”.

The sacrament of Penance has

often been at the center of the
reflection of the Church’s Pastors,
specifically because of its great
importance in the journey of the
Christian life, given that “The
whole power of the sacrament of
Penance consists in restoring us
to God’s grace and joining with
him in an intimate friendship”
(Catechism of the Catholic
Church, 1468). The Church, in
https://faithmag.com/encountering-jesus-reconciliatio
continuing to proclaim Jesus’
message of forgiveness and
reconciliation, never ceases to invite the whole of humanity to convert and to believe in the

10
Gospel. She makes her own the call of the Apostle Paul: “So we are ambassadors for Christ
as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to
God” (2 Cor 5:20). Jesus, during his life, proclaimed and made present the mercy of the
Father. He came not to condemn but to forgive and to save, to give hope in the deepest
darkness of suffering and sin, and to give eternal life; thus, in the sacrament of Penance, in
the “medicine of confession”, the experience of sin does not degenerate into despair but
encounters the Love that forgives and transforms (cf. John Paul II, Post-Synodal Apostolic
Exhortation Reconciliatio et Paenitentia, 31).

God, “rich in mercy” (Eph 2:4), like the father in the

Gospel parable (cf. Lk 15:11-32), does not close his
heart to any of his children, but waits for them, looks
for them, reaches them where their rejection of
communion imprisons them in isolation and division
and calls them to gather around his table, in the joy
of the feast of forgiveness and reconciliation. A time
of suffering, in which one could be tempted to
abandon oneself to discouragement and
hopelessness, can thus be transformed into a time of
grace to return to oneself, and like the prodigal son
of the parable, to think anew about one’s life,
recognizing its errors and failures, longing for the
embrace of the Father, and following the pathway to
his home. He, in his great love, always and
everywhere watches over our lives and awaits us to
https://www.pinterest.cl/pin/536913586808160264/
offer to every child that returns to him the gift of full
reconciliation and joy.

From a reading of the Gospels, it emerges clearly that Jesus always showed special concern
for sick people. He not only sent out his disciples to tend their wounds (cf. Mt 10:8; Lk 9:2;
10:9) but also instituted for them a specific sacrament: The Anointing of the Sick. The Letter
of James attests to the presence of this sacramental act already in the first Christian
community (cf. 5:14-16): by the Anointing of the Sick, accompanied by the prayer of the
elders, the whole of the Church commends the sick to the suffering and glorified Lord so
that he may alleviate their sufferings and save them; indeed, she exhorts them to unite
themselves spiritually to the passion and death of Christ to contribute thereby to the good of
the People of God.

This sacrament leads us to contemplate the double mystery of the Mount of Olives, where
Jesus found himself dramatically confronted by the path indicated to him by the Father, that
of his Passion, the supreme act of love; and he accepted it. In that hour of tribulation, he is
the mediator, “bearing in himself, taking upon himself the sufferings and passion of the
world, transforming it into a cry to God, bringing it before the eyes and into the hands of God
and thus truly bringing it to the moment of redemption” (Lectio Divina, Meeting with the
Parish Priests of Rome, 18 February 2010). But “the Garden of Olives is also the place from
which he ascended to the Father, and is, therefore, the place of redemption … This double

11
 mystery of the Mount of Olives is
also always ‘at work’ within the
Church’s sacramental oil … the
sign of God’s goodness reaching
out to touch us”. In the Anointing of
the Sick, the sacramental matter of
the oil is offered to us, so to speak,
“as God’s medicine … which now
assures us of his goodness,
offering us strength and
consolation, yet at the same time
points beyond the moment of the
illness towards the definitive
healing, the resurrection (cf. Jas
5:14)” (ibid.).
https://avemariaradio.net/gethsemane-agony-garden-prayer-jesus/
This sacrament deserves greater consideration today both in theological reflection and in
pastoral ministry among the sick. Through a proper appreciation of the content of the
liturgical prayers that are adapted to the various human situations connected with illness,
and not only when a person is at the end of his or her life (cf. Catechism of the Catholic
Church, 1514), the Anointing of the Sick should not be held to be almost “a minor
sacrament” when compared to the others. Attention to and pastoral care for sick people,
while, on the one hand, a sign of God’s tenderness towards those who are suffering, on the
other brings spiritual advantage to priests and the whole Christian community as well, in the
awareness that what is done to the least, is done to Jesus himself (cf. Mt 25:40).

As regards the “sacraments of healing”, St. Augustine affirms: “God heals all your infirmities.
Do not be afraid, therefore, all your infirmities will be healed, you must only allow him to cure
you and you must not reject his hands” (Exposition on Psalm 102, 5; PL 36, 1319-1320).
These are precious instruments of God’s grace that help a sick person to conform himself or
herself ever more fully to the mystery of the death and resurrection of Christ. Together with
these two sacraments, I would also like to emphasize the importance of the Eucharist.
Received at a time of illness, it contributes in a singular way to working this transformation,
associating the person who partakes of the Body and Blood of Christ to the offering that he
made of himself to the Father for the salvation of
all. The whole ecclesial community, and parish
communities, in particular, should pay attention to
guaranteeing the possibility of frequently receiving
Holy Communion, to those people who, for
reasons of health or age, cannot go to a place of
worship. In this way, these brothers and sisters
are offered the possibility of strengthening their
relationship with Christ, crucified and risen,
participating, through their lives offered up for the
love of Christ, in the very mission of the Church.
From this point of view, it is important that priests
who offer their discreet work in hospitals, in https://fatherstevegrunow.wordpress.com/2015/08
/27/memorial-of-saint-augustine-bishop-and-
doctor-of-the-church-august-28th-2015/

12
nursing homes, and the homes of sick people, feel they are true “’ ministers of the sick’,
signs and instruments of Christ’s compassion who must reach out to every person marked
by suffering” (Message for the XVIII World Day of the Sick, 22 November 2009).

Becoming conformed to the Paschal Mystery of Christ, which can also be achieved through
the practice of spiritual Communion, takes on a very particular meaning when the Eucharist
is administered and received as Viaticum. At that stage in life, these words of the Lord are
even more telling: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will
raise him on the last day” (Jn 6:54). The Eucharist, especially as Viaticum, is – according to
the definition of Saint Ignatius of Antioch – “medicine of immortality, the antidote for death”
(Letter to the Ephesians, 20: PG 5, 661); the sacrament of the passage from death to life,
from this world to the Father, who awaits everyone in the celestial Jerusalem.

The theme of this Message for the Twentieth World Day of the Sick, “Stand up and go; your
faith has saved you”, also looks forward to the forthcoming Year of Faith which will begin on
Oct. 11, a propitious and valuable occasion to rediscover the strength and beauty of faith, to
examine its contents, and to bear witness to it in daily life (cf. Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei, 11
October 2011). I wish to encourage sick people and the suffering always to find a safe
anchor in faith, nourished by listening to the word of god, by personal prayer, and by the
sacraments, while I invite pastors to be increasingly ready to celebrate them for the sick.
Following the example of the Good Shepherd and as guides of the flocks entrusted to them,
priests should be full of joy, attentive to the weakest, the simple and sinners, expressing the
infinite mercy of God with reassuring words of hope (cf. Saint Augustine, Letter 95, 1: PL 33,
351-352).

To all those who work in the field of health, and to the families who see in their relatives the
suffering face of the Lord Jesus, I renew my thanks and that of the Church, because, in their
professional expertise and silence, often without even mentioning the name of Christ, they
concretely manifest him (cf. Homily, Chrism Mass, 21 April 2011).

To Mary, Mother of Mercy and Health of the Sick, we raise

our trusting gaze and our prayer; may her maternal
compassion, manifested as she stood beside her dying Son
on the Cross, accompany and sustain the faith and the hope
of every sick and suffering person on the journey of healing
for the wounds of body and spirit!

I assure you all of a remembrance in my prayers, and I

bestow upon each one of you a special Apostolic Blessing.

GOSPEL READING

Matthew 9:35-38. “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few."
Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and
proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every
sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they
were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his
disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore, ask the Lord
of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."

Opening Prayer: Dear God, teach me to seek you, for I cannot seek you unless you teach me,
or find you unless you show yourself to me. Let me seek you in my desire; let me desire you in
my seeking. Let me find you by loving you; let me love you when I find you. Amen. (Our
Father… Hail Mary… Glory be).

St. John Baptist de la Salle, pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!

Instruction: Write your Gospel reflection here.

Thoughts for reflection:

1. In the Gospels, sickness is clearly not treated as a mere medical problem. Once again,
sickness (like sin and even like death) is ultimately ascribed to the activity of the Evil
One. The demonic power was feared. So, Jesus saw his mission as: hand-to-hand
combat with the Enemy.
2. I bring to mind those who feel harassed and helpless. I pray for the compassion that
Jesus had: that I may recognize those in need around me and be a shepherd to them

 VOCATION AND HEALING
Christian vocation is the fulfillment of God's purpose in us as His children. As such, it is the
end of healing. It is the result of our being brought into the presence of God and equipped
with the wholeness He has in mind for me. It is the result of His preparing me to work
together with Him as a New Creation.

The healing of the spirit, or the

mind, or the soul or the body all
point to this one end. We are to
become all that He has created us
to be so that we might do all that
he has created us to do. It is the
BEING and DOING with God in His
will that defines our vocation. It is
our living into Jesus' saying on the
mount, "You shall be perfect as
your Father in heaven is perfect."
Mt 5:48.
http://www.picturequotes.com/see-your-vocation-as-a-god-given-path-to-
holiness-quote-1010078

It has been my experience that when we realize what it is, we are trying to do, we are better
able to find the tools which we are to use to use for the task at hand. To consider healing
without considering what God is seeking for us is often to look for the wrong thing.

When we seek wholeness, we must see that God alone holds the key to its meaning. He
alone knows why we are here, and what we are to be and do. We begin with the Author of
the Creation who knows what the task entails, not with the methodology we will use to
accomplish the task He calls us to engage.

THE HEALING OF THE SPIRIT is an essential element in the whole of the healing quest since
it is the one that brings us into the relationship with God that we seek, and it enables Him to
lead us into the way that He has created for us to walk in.

We are to be reconciled to God that He might have access to our lives and direct us to the
wholeness which He alone can define for us.

Called to Discipleship
God does not call us first to go, minister. He calls us to Himself. When Jesus called Peter and
Andrew, he said, "COME FOLLOW ME, AND I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN." HE DID NOT
SAY, "GO FISH FOR MEN."

16
They were not able to go fish for men until they
had first been equipped to know what Jesus was
talking about when He said, "The Kingdom of
God is at hand." They had to see that the
Kingdom would not be brought in by any effort of
their own, but by Holy Spirit working God's will
through them.

They had to receive Holy Spirit so that they could

be the expression of the presence of the
incarnate Lord in their flesh. The works that He
did, they were to do; but only as they were
empowered by the same Holy Spirit that He had
received into His humanity at His baptism.
Humanity cannot do God's work FOR God. They can only do it WITH God as He comes to
make Himself known through us. https://tommyboland.com/2020/01/24/from-
follower-to-friend/
They had to see that THEIR ALLEGIANCE WAS TO HIM AND HIM ALONE. It was only then that
they could embark on their vocation. That did not mean that they were perfect. It meant that
they were moving toward the perfection for which they had been created, and to which they
had been called.

They spent three years in Jesus' presence listening to His teaching, watching His love,
witnessing He complete devotion to prayer in which He communed with Abba, trying to
protect Him from the assault of the people, even to the end in the Garden of Gethsemane.
They did not understand their vocation until they had received Holy Spirit in the power and
love to get about being Jesus' presence in the world for which He had died.

Our Vocation
WE FIND OUR VOCATION, NOT THROUGH TAKING TESTS, but through asking the Lord what
we are here to BE and to DO. We enter into a disciplined dialog that enables Him to teach us
what we are to know about prayer as an ongoing, living communication line that is so
important to our vital relationship with Abba.

It is not a matter of knowing what our talents or

desires are in the flesh. He does not need our
ability; He seeks our availability. He wants our
attention to His voice. HE INVITES US TO ENTER
INTO HIS PRESENCE, TO KNOW HIS LOVE FOR US.
He asks us to abide with Him that He might direct
us in His will, that we might be able to say with
Jesus, "The words that I speak are not my words
but the words of Him who sent me."

To be led by the Spirit of God means that we learn

https://toniawoolever.com/its-a-conversation-not-a-canon/

to listen for His voice and obey what we hear.

Since there are a lot of spirits in the world that would gladly lead us into some new area of

17
hell, to admonish us to accomplish God's work with the world's wisdom, He has placed us in
a community of His Body wherein w might not be left in isolation.

We have a community in which we can seek the prayer and wisdom of others when we hear
some call that we do not quite trust to be Abba's speaking to us. The one measure that we
have for any word from God is, "Is it in His love?" If it is not, it is not of Him.

The direction is not something that we hear before we decide to follow God's will. DIRECTION
IS SOMETHING WE HEAR AFTER WE HAVE DECIDED THAT WE WILL TO BE HIS, AND HIS
ALONE. It is the communication that follows, "The Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. Nothing more, nothing less, nothing else."

It is then that we begin to hear, and as we obey, we hear with greater clarity. We can walk
with the Lord in the power of the Holy Spirit. We can perceive what we need, and seek that
provision from Abba.

It is as we come into that relationship with Abba in the Spirit and find out His will for us that
we begin to enter into our vocation. We are led to seek the healing of the body as He shows
us the need. We begin to seek the cleansing of the soul as He shows us the need for inner
healing, to move us through death into resurrection.

He can show us the need we have for the healing of the mind through revelation that He
brings to us, either directly or through another member of the Body. We can show us our
part in the healing of the Body as we can
minister His love to those whom He sends to be
loved into wholeness.

Finally, He can show us what we need to forgive

and release those we have forgiven into the
redemptive power of His love for recreation. He
can show us how to release those things that
tie us to the world so that we might approach
Him to receive all that He has in store for us
and know the perfect freedom of His service.

ALL HEALING COMES TOGETHER IN THIS ONE

EXPRESSION OF BEING MADE WHOLE THAT WE
MIGHT DO WITH HIM, ALL THAT HE CREATED US
TO DO. BEGINNING WITH THE HEALING OF OUR
SPIRIT, THAT WE MIGHT BECOME ONE WITH
HIM, THE HEALING MINISTRY IS ABBA'S LOVE
EQUIPPING US FOR OUR VOCATION TO BECOME
HIS CHILD IN THE INTIMACY OF HIS LOVE. https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Whole-Beloved-
Leeland-Jones-ebook/dp/B07M6MRJH3
It is in this light that we can see that finding vocation is vital to our wholeness. It is not
simply a matter of our decision about a profession or a career. It is the fulfillment of God's
purpose in the life He has given us now. It is the living of that new life in the fullness of the

18
grace that He has given us in the healing presence of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

GOSPEL READING

Luke 17:3-6. “You must forgive."

Jesus said to his disciples, "Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must
rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. And if the same
person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and
says, 'I repent,' you must forgive." The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our
faith!" The Lord replied, "If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say
to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."

Opening Prayer: Dear God, may the fire of the Holy Spirit burn up the dross in our hearts,
warm them with love, and set them on fire with zeal for your service. Amen. (Our Father… Hail
Mary… Glory be).

St. John Baptist de la Salle, pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!

B. Sacraments of Healing

4. SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION AND PENANCE

Sacred Scriptures
When Jesus Christ instituted the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist on Holy Thursday during the
Last Supper, Jesus also instituted the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Penance on the
evening of His resurrection when He appeared to the Apostles and gave them the power to
forgive sins as seen in John 20:21-23.

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with

you. As the Father has sent me, so I send
you”. And when he had said this, he
breathed on them; and he said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you
forgive are forgiven and whose sins you
retain are retained (Jn 20:21-23, NAB)

Church Teaching
Most Catholics recognize that sacraments
are an important part of life in the church.
They see them as significant moments that
mark transitions in life. They bring their
babies to be baptized and send their Third
graders to prepare for First Communion,
they come to the church to be married and
ask for the anointing when someone is
seriously ill (Mick, 2007, p.3).
https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/spirituality-and-
Mick (2007) further explained that community-building/forgiveness-and-reconciliation/main
Sacraments are much more than milepost
in the spiritual life. The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) called for a renewal of liturgy
that included revising all sacraments. This revision calls us to rethink our understanding of
these basic actions that shaped our identity in the church. In their first document, the
Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, issued in 1963, the council fathers spoke of the
importance of the sacraments for the Christian Life, “the purpose of the sacraments is to
sanctify people, to build up the body of Christ and finally, to worship God. Because they are
signs, they also belong to the realm of instruction. They not only presuppose faith but by
words and objects, they also nourish, strengthen and express it. That is why they are called
sacraments of faith. They do, indeed, confer grace, but also, the very act of celebrating

22
them is most effective in making people ready to receive this grace for their profit, to
worship God duly, and to practice charity. It is, therefore, of the greatest importance that the
faithful should easily understand the symbolism of the sacraments and eagerly frequent
those sacraments which were instituted to nourish the Christian Life (no.59)

Historical Background (adapted from WIKIPEDIA)

The Sacrament of Reconciliation may also be referred to as the Sacrament of Penance or
Confession. This sacrament was instituted by Christ where the Christian community may
repent from the sins they have committed after receiving Baptism.

The sacrament may also be called by many names, including penance, reconciliation, and
confession (Catechism of the Catholic Church, Sections 1423-1442). In its original Latin Rite,
the sacrament is referred to as "Penance," in some official church documents, it is referred
to as "Reconciliation" or both "Penance and Reconciliation." Many lay Catholics, they
continue to use the term "confession" about the sacrament.

In the year 1215, it was a “church requirement” that every Catholic Christian must receive
this sacrament at least once a year as stipulated in the Catholic Canon Law, and in the 20th
century, Pope John Paul II introduced a scripture-inspired program intended for renewing the
meaning of this sacrament. In 1984 Pope John Paul II issued Reconciliatio et Paenitentia
which began by recalling from the Gospel of Mark 1:15, the very words with which Jesus
began his preaching: "Repent, and believe in the Gospel". In 2002 he issued another
document entitled Misericordia Dei which began by quoting the Gospel of Matthew 26:73-
75 that Jesus was born to "save his people from their sins" and emphasized the fervent and
energetic summons with which Saint John the Baptist called for repentance. In this
document, he also highlighted Paul’s epistle to Romans 8:21, he stated that "Salvation is
therefore and above all redemption from sin, which hinders friendship with God."

The Catechism for Filipino Catholics has laid down the

very integration of the sacrament relevant to our
culture as follows (cf. CFC, 1457): The Christian
morality of sin is intrinsically inherent in our celebration
of the Sacrament of Penance/Reconciliation. But the
more positive link resides in the on-going life-long
process of conversion. To “follow Christ” means
developing the values and virtues – the “character” of
a disciple. Current “renewed” moral theology stresses
vision over moral prescriptions, values over mere rules,
fundamental commitment over particular acts (cf.
NCDP, 271). Such emphasis roots out the
individualistic and legal notions of both sin and
conversion that so gravely impeded the efficacy of the
Sacrament of Penance/Reconciliation.

In the sacramental format, the following are the

http://cfcph.blogspot.com/2013/03/ “Matter”, “Form”, “Ministers” and “Recipients” of the
sacrament of Reconciliation: a) MATTER – Contrition; b)

23
FORM - Absolution; c) MINISTER - Priest (confessor) who has faculty to hear confession; d)
RECIPIENT - anyone who is baptized and dispose to confess
The Meaning of Sin
Sin is a “moral attitude”, “power”, “action”, or “refusal to act”, that leads us into “evil”,
“alienates/separates” us from our “true selves”, “our neighbors”, the “community” and
“God”. It often becomes, “compulsive” or “addictive” and “weakens” our power of resistance.

Classifications of Sins
Sins may be classified as Personal – when they are committed by individual persons against
others, and the community. Social- these are common negative moral attitudes and acts.
Structural-these are economic, social, or political patterns or systems that produce injustice
and harm.

Factors that determine the gravity of sins

The severity and magnitude of sins may vary according to the following factors: the ACT itself,
the INTENTION of the doer, and the CIRCUMSTANCES relevant to the sin committed.

Kinds of Sins
Generally, there are two kinds of sins, namely: MORTAL SIN - “sin unto death”. This kind of
sin kills our basic love relationship with God and others. There must be: “grave matter”,
“sufficient knowledge” and “full consent”. VENIAL SIN is an “excusable sin” that does not
involve our fundamental core freedom. However, it “weakens” our love relationships with
God and others. This should be confessed in the sacrament of reconciliation.

The Meaning of Conversion

Conversion is an ongoing process of constantly turning away from sin and the occasions of
sin and towards renewing our spirit through “repentance” and “firm amendment”. There are
4 Steps to Conversion Process. Tips for a
genuine conversion are as follows: Step One.
Identify source and nature of conflict; Step Two.
Acceptance and personal encounter of fault;
Step Three. Authentic self-discovery of how to
change; Step Four. Serious personal
transformation
Types of conversion

Conversion may be called: MORAL which is the

turning away from sin towards genuine love.
AFFECTIVE is when our imaginations, feelings,
and emotions towards what is good.
INTELLECTUAL conversion occurs when there is
redirecting of our understanding and judgment
towards the good. RELIGIOUS conversion takes
place when one is “falling in love with God.

Here are some basic steps on how to go to

confession:

24
Step 1. Preparation—Before going to confession, the penitent compares his or her life with the Ten
Commandments, the Beatitudes, and the example of Christ and then prays to God for
forgiveness.
https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/611574824368582369/
Step 2. Going to Confession—After the priest welcomes you, both of you make the sign of the cross.
Then you may wish to indicate facts about your life, the time of the last confession,
difficulties in leading the Christian life, and anything else that may help the priest.
Step 3. The Word of God—You or the priest may read one of the suggested scriptural passages.
Some of them may be: Deuteronomy 6:3-9—Love the Lord your God with your whole heart.

Sirach 28:1-7—Forgive your neighbor when he hurts you, and then your sins will be forgiven
when you pray.
Isaiah 55:1-11—Let the wicked man forsake his way and return to the Lord, and he will have
mercy on him because he is generous in forgiving.
Jeremiah 7:21-26—Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people.

Step 4. Confession of Sins and the Act of Penance—Confess your sins. The priest then offers suitable
advice and imposes an act of penance or satisfaction, which may include prayer, self-denial,
or works of mercy.

Step 5. Prayer of the Penitent—Pray a prayer expressing

sorrow for your sins and resolving not to sin again. Two
suggested prayers are given here:

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do

wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I
should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do
penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my
God, have mercy. (Rite of Penance, no. 45), (or)

Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Lamb of God; you take away the
sins of the world. Through the grace of the Holy Spirit restore me
to friendship with your Father, cleanse me from every stain of sin
https://frpetercrowe.com/2019/04/29/co
nfession-to-a-priest/
in the blood you shed for me, and raise me to new life for the glory
of your name. (Rite of Penance, no. 91)

Step 6. Absolution—The priest extends his hands over your head and pronounces the formula of
absolution, making the sign of the cross over your head during the final words. You answer,
"Amen."
Step 7. Proclamation of Praise—Praise the mercy of God and give him thanks in a short invocation
taken from Scripture, such as "Rejoice in the Lord and sing for joy, friends of God" (Ps 32:1-
7, 10-11), "The Lord has remembered his mercy" (Lk 1:46-55), or "Blessed be God who
chose us in Christ" (Eph 1:3-10) (Rite of Penance, no. 206).
Step 8. Dismissal—The priest dismisses you with the command to go in peace. Continue to express
your conversion through a life renewed according to the Gospel and more and more
steeped in the love of God.

25
 Leader: Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
(Pause in a moment of silence.)

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

GOSPEL READING

Luke 7:37-39. “to all those who have, more will be given; but from those
who have nothing, even what they have will be taken
And a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having learned that he was eating in
the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment. She stood behind him at
his feet, weeping, and began to bathe his feet with her tears and to dry them with
her hair. Then she continued kissing his feet and anointing them with the ointment.
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, ‘If this man
were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman this is who is
touching him—that she is a sinner.

Opening Prayer: Dear God, you call each of us by name, and you treasure each of us
individually as though no-one else exists. Inspire us to respect and value each person who comes
into our lives this day. Amen. (Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory be).

St. John Baptist de la Salle, pray for us.

Live Jesus in our hearts, forever!

 5. SACRAMENT OF THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK

Scripture
In the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, right after the account of the Temptation of
Jesus (verses 1-11), Jesus started his “Public Life” and “Public Ministry”. In his ministry as
highlighted in Matthew 4:23-24, healing is a major consideration among the many things
Jesus has done.

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of
the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him
spread over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those
suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed,
and he healed them. (Mt 4:23-24, NAB)

Church Teaching
The Catechism for Catholic Church has several provisions concerning this sacrament
beginning from number 1511 to 1532. Klein (2000) highlighted the following aspects
essential to the sacrament:

1. The Elements of the Anointing of the Sick,

namely, a) The priest of the Church, b) The
laying on of hands in silence, c) The prayer of
faith of the Church and, d) The anointing with
oil (blessed by the bishop)

2. The Effects of the Anointing of the Sick which

are the following: a) Joins the sick person to
the passion of Christ, b) Gives power, peace,
and the courage to endure suffering, c)
Forgives sins, d) Restores health and, e)
Prepares for the passage of eternal life.

3. The Recipients of the Anointing of the Sick

are the following:
a) Those whose health is seriously impaired
by sickness or old age,
b) Those about to undergo surgery because
of serious illness,
c) Those who are elderly and weakened by
age, even if there is no serious illness and,
d) Sick children who are mature enough to
https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/530158187364787669/

28
 be comforted by it.

According to the Catechism for Filipino Catholics, like all sacraments

a) both reconciliation and anointing are grounded directly on the Doctrine and reality of
Christ’s Paschal Mystery;
b) both reconciliation and anointing of the sick rest on the Creedal truths of Christ as
redeemer and Healer, of the Church’s mission to continue Christ’s reconciling and
healing ministry, and of the Holy Spirit sent down by the risen Christ to empower his
Church with God’s healing love; c) to avoid an all too common “moralistic” attitude of
mind of the sacrament, we, Filipino Catholics, must link the sacrament directly to
Christ our Savior, within his community, the Church;
d) Filipino Catholics must recognize the zeal, substantial but limited help offered by the
advances of medicine and the social and behavioral sciences.

It is emphasized in the Catechism for Filipino Catholics that: The Anointing of the Sick is the
Sacrament which through the laying on of hands, the prayer of faith, and the anointing with
blessed oil, provides the sick with Christ’s healing grace of the Holy Spirit. Through the grace
of the sacrament, “the whole man is
brought to health, trust in God is
encouraged, and strength is given to
resist the temptations of the Evil One,
and anxiety about death.

“Cure” today usually refers to the

medical pursuit of the eradication of
disease or defect, “healing” refers
rather to the holistic care that touches
the body, mind, and spirit of the sick
person. Often someone suffering from
“incurable” disease in the medical
sense may still be “healed” in the
deeper, personal sense. A particular
illness is not usually related to any
https://clipartstation.com/anointing-of-the-sick-clipart/
specific sin. God is no vengeful
punisher. Yet sickness is the concrete
sign of the deeper, more general spiritual evil in the world. When asked what should be the
attitude of Christians toward sickness, some would see sickness as a sign of the oppressive
presence of evil in the world, and therefore, struggle against all sickness and seek good
health, and, recognize the need of the sick for special help and comfort from family,
community and God’s grace.

However, the renewal of the sacrament includes a) changing its aim to serving the sick, not
the dying, and hence its name to Anointing of the Sick, not Extreme Unction; b) inserting a
prayer in which the community, represented by the priest, the family, friends, and neighbors
– all pray for those to be anointed; c) stressing on Christ, the Healer, who transforms the
meaning and significance of the sick person’s illness into a sharing in his saving work; d)

29
Holy Viaticum – “with you on-the-way” – is the Eucharist given to the dying Christian. It vividly
pictures Christ as leading and accompanying the Christian into the heavenly banquet.

Matter, Form, Minister, and Recipient of the Sacrament

The MATTER in this sacrament is the oil for anointing (olive oil); the FORM is “Through this
holy anointing may the Lord in His love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit”
(forehead). “May the Lord who frees you from your sin save you and raise you” (hands); the
MINISTER is the Priest and the RECIPIENT is the sick person.
