AUTHORITY FROM GOD
According to Moses, the
people decided they didn’t
want to hear God’s voice
directly any more. It was much
too frightening. Why couldn’t
God send human teachers,
prophets,
instead?
God
agreed, but with a warning.
The people had better listen to
those teachers, because they spoke in God’s name.
That arrangement, though, had its own problems, for them and
for us. How do I know this teacher is truly from God? And if the
teacher is from God, are all parts of the teaching meant for me? We
have the Church and scripture to help us with those questions, but
still there are always a few loose ends.
That is the powerful significance of the sentence in today’s
Gospel: “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught
them as one having authority and not as the scribes.” The people
knew that this Jesus was authentic—truly a teacher sent by God.
They knew it by hearing him.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The Oil of the Sick, usually labeled OI (for Oleum Infirmarum), is often reserved with chrism and the oil of
catechumens in an ambry. An ambry is a cabinet, often beautifully ornamented and kept near the baptistery in the
church. Olive oil, with no fragrance added, is blessed at the Chrism Mass in Holy Week by the bishop, although there is
now a provision for a priest to bless oil if none is available. This restores to our Latin Rite practice a tradition never lost in
the Eastern tradition, in which priests consecrate the oil of the sick, even at the sick person’s home. Any vegetable oil
may be used now, since olive oil is difficult to obtain in some places. Many priests keep a small supply of oil close at
hand in a small metal tube called a “stock.”
In the former rite, every sense of the body was anointed, accompanied by a prayer for forgiveness of sin. So, the
eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, hands, and feet were all touched. Today, this is simplified to an anointing of the forehead
and the hands, but generally today the oil is used more lavishly, and the symbolism of touch so central to the rite is
enhanced. Often, a priest will invite everyone present to join in the “laying on of hands.” Sick persons are often pushed
aside or feared in our culture, and to be reverently touched in love can be a profound experience of God’s healing,
forgiving, accepting presence through the ministry of the Church.
Prayers For The Sick
Please keep in your prayers those who are sick at home or in the hospital. Call the parish office for your prayer requests.
