“From the time we started having adoration every day,
our love for Jesus became more intimate, our love for
each other more understanding, our love for the poor
more compassionate, we have double the number of
vocations.” “Perpetual adoration is the most beautiful
thing you could ever think of. People are hungry for God.” (Mother
Teresa of Calcutta).

With the Easter season well under way, we now resume our survey of the sacrament of the sick. The pastoral care of the sick will be
misunderstood if we start from the vantage point of the sickroom.
Begin with the Sunday assembly, from which the sick person has
been separated by the crisis of illness,
and whose absence is given expression
in prayer and service. The goal is to
extend the consolation of the Lord’s
presence at the table to those who are
apart from it, and for the assembly to
enfold them in prayer.
Secondarily, the goal is to teach
people what the Church desires for all
those who are sick. Seeing ministers
dispatched to the sick from Mass every
Sunday might help a caregiver realize
that their dear one can also receive
Communion. Witnessing the anointing
of a woman facing surgery might help another person to overcome
hesitation and ask for the sacrament’s healing and strength. Society’s impulse may be to marginalize the sick, but the tradition of our
community is to see them at the center of our life. When Roman persecutors ordered St. Lawrence the Deacon to hand over the jewels
of the church, he assembled a motley crew of the sick and the infirm
and announced with all humility, “Behold, my lord, the treasures of
the church of Christ.”
