Great and Holy Wednesday (Holy Unction) - 04/16/14
On Wednesday, April 16th, the communities of Christ the Saviour and Holy Apostles Mission, gathered to celebrate the service of Holy Unction - interceding the Lord’s mercy, and healing of soul and body. Fr. Timothy Hojnicki offered a beautiful homily, which prepared each of us to realize our own spiritual sicknesses and poverty, and to ask the Lord for healing!
Excerpt from the Third Prayer of Holy Unction:
Yes, Lord, send forth from heaven Thy healing power; touch the body, quench the fever, calm the suffering and chase away every lurking infirmity. Be the physician of Thy servants; raise them up from their bed of pain and their couch of distress; give them to Thy Church safe and sound, well-pleasing to Thee and doing Thy will.
