ADVENT EVENT
Anointing Of Sick Planned
CHRISTMAS 2001 - Emmanuel’s

nightly at the National Shrine of Our
Lady of the Snows near Belleville,
Ill. As part of the shrine’s 10th
annual Way of Lights festival, Joe
Siddle and four other puppeteers are
performing “Christmas 2001”
through Jan. 6. More than 100,000
lights are illuminating the shrine.
No Christmas Trip For Pope
ROME (NC) - Pope John Paul II
reportedly said he will not go to Bethlehem
this Christmas.
“One must also know how to stay at
home,” he was quoted as saying to
reporters Nov. 30 near the end of the papal
return flight to Rome after three days in
Turkey.
The pope was apparently about to visit
the reporters’ section of the plane but
turned back at the bulkhead just ahead of
that section when he was met by about 15
photographers who had left their seats to
crowd into the aisle just past the entrance.
There was some confusion as to
precisely what happened, but according to
some reporters near the front, Vatican
press officer, Father Romeo Panciroli,
quoted or paraphrased the pope as having
said before turning away, “You talk of
democracy but you don’t behave
democratically.”
The majority of journalists followed
protocol and remained in their seats so that
the pope would be able to pass down the
aisle.

newspaper.

the 1980-81 school year

BY FATHER
LOUIS NAUGHTON
In conjunction with
Advent, Archbishop
Donnellan will be the
Principal Celebrant at a
communal celebration of
the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick
which will take place
within the context of the
12:10 Noon Mass at the
Cathedral on Friday,
December 14,1979. Those
who are eligible to receive
this Sacrament should
avail of the opportunity of
doing so on that occasion.
Many people have had
the impression that a
Catholic must be dying in
order to be eligible to
receive this Sacrament.
Such an impression is
INCORRECT. On the
contrary, it is strongly
recommended that an
elderly person in weak
condition because of
advancing years should
receive this Sacrament. It
is hoped that as many as
possible of our elderly
parishioners who are in
this condition will avail of
the opportunity to receive
this great Sacrament on
Friday, December 14th.
People who are
seriously sick, especially
those preparing for major
surgery, are also eligible to
receive this Sacrament.
When serious illness
prevails, this Sacrament
should be received as soon
as possible. In the case of
obvious dangerous illness,
this Sacrament should
never, of course, be put
off until a very late stage.
The Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick
prolongs the concern
which our Lord showed
for both the bodily and
spiritual welfare of the
sick, as the Gospels clearly
testify and which He asked
His followers to show also.
Those eligible for this
Sacrament are Catholics
who are seriously ill.
Elderly people may be
anointed if they are in a
weak condition although
no dangerous illness is
HISHOPS' ACTION
present. Included are those
who, because of their
weak condition, are unable
to come to Church on a
regular basis. Children who
are seriously ill may be
anointed if they have
sufficient use of reason to
be comforted by this
Sacrament.
Sickness is more than a
medical phenomenon;
sickness can be serious
enough to cause a crisis
situation in our lives with
regard to our salvation and
to our life in and with
Christ in the Community
of the Church. To be sick
includes bodily pain,
psychic depression,
isolation from one’s
profession as well as from
normal human society,
especially as experienced
in the family. Sickness
often engenders
impatience, sulkiness and
excessive self pre-occupat
ion. Sickness sometimes
gives rise to spiritual
dryness, hardness of heart,
discouragement and even
despair. In such ways, a
person’s sickness or state
of impaired health can
weaken or undermine his
(her) relationship with
Christ. This Sacrament
therefore, brings about
spiritual healing and, if
God so wills, bodily
healing as well.
The Grace of the
Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick
helps us to overcome
specific obstacles to Grace
and Salvation arising from
the situation of sickness.
In this Sacrament, Christ
always strengthens and
supports the person in his
(her) sickness.
The Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick is
for Catholics who are
suffering from a degree of
sickness which is causing
considerable concern.
Sickness embraces many
forms including illness
demanding serious surgery,
weakness due to advancing
years, chronic illness,
illness which considerably
confines activities, serious
deafness or blindness,
psychiatric illness such as
depression or severe
neurosis or serious
addiction - in fact any
illness which is considered
serious.
When illness is proving
such a burden as to be
endangering the sick
person’s faith and
confidence of God, this
then is an added reason for
such a person to avail of
the opportunity of
receiving the Sacrament of
the Anointing of the Sick.
In order to be well
prepared, persons planning
to receive this Sacrament
should, if possible, receive
the Sacrament of Penance
beforehand. However, not
being able to get to
Confession should not be
an obstacle to receiving
the Sacrament of the
Anointing of the Sick. The
Sacrament of Penance will
be available at the
Cathedral before the
Anointing, from 11:30
a.m. until 11:50 a.m.
The Communal
Celebration of this great
Sacrament will take place
within the context of the
12:10 Noon Mass at the
Cathedral on Friday,
December 14th, and a
special area in the
Cathedral will be reserved
for those planning to
receive the Sacrament.
Further information may
be obtained from the
priests of the Parish,
phone (404) 233-2145.
The Cathedral is located at
2699 Peachtree Road N.
E., at the intersection of
Peachtree and Wesley.
