Anointing Of The Sick
Anointing of the Sick - A Prayer of Healing for Physical and Mental Illness
December 1 at 7:30 p.m
Lewis Hall Chapel
This event is co-sponsored by the McGrath Institute for Church Life and Lewis Hall.
We All Seek Healing
In the pain and isolation that often accompany physical and mental illness, we come to the Anointing of the Sick to pray together for healing.
But, what is healing?
While healing can include miraculous cures, the Anointing of the Sick invites us to experience healing as a movement, by grace, from isolation and disconnection toward deepening communion with Christ and one another, offering renewed Hope.
Isn't the Anointing just for the elderly or seriously ill?
All students are welcome for the Anointing to pray together for the healing of physical, mental, and spiritual wounds. The Anointing will include a brief explanation of the sacrament and prayer service, followed by the anointing for those receiving the sacrament.

“In times of pain and illness it is good to know that we are not alone ... it is the Lord Jesus himself who makes himself present in the Anointing, who takes us by the hand, ... and who reminds us that we already belong to him and that nothing — not even evil and death — can ever separate us from him.” - Pope Francis
