Share your anointing of the sick reflections
In April 2009, St. Anthony Messenger magazine will publish a special issue on Catholics as a sacramental people. The articles will celebrate the richness of the seven sacraments in the everyday lives of today’s Catholics. Through early 2009, we’ve given an opportunity for readers to contribute their experiences to the magazine about how the sacrament of anointing of the sick has touched them and whether they or their family members participated in the sacrament from which there was a healing.
