DID YOU KNOW: Healing?

Every Mass is a celebration in HEALING.  In faith, we receive the Great Physician into our bodies and souls knowing that we will be nourished and healed physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Our Catholic Tradition also invites us to experience God’s presence in a unique way in the Healing Mass.  The service begins with the celebration of the Eucharist.  Then, we are invited to be prayed over individually by the laying of hands and anointing with blessed oil.  There are also opportunities to experience the powerful presence of Christ’s healing love through the Eucharistic procession and the Divine Mercy prayer.  Some people might receive the gift of “rest in the Spirit.”  During his public life, healing was a main aspect of Jesus’ ministry, as it is today, through His Church.  Saint Michael Parish invites you to join in a healing Mass on Saturday, October 4, 2008 at 7:00 PM.  

 

Is any one among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him
sing praise. Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church,
and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and
if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.   (James 5: 13-15)
