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.

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.
PATRON SAINTS
A patron is a saint who is venerated as a special
intercessor before God. Most patrons have been so
designated as the result of popular devotion and
long-standing custom. The Church has made
official designation of relatively few patrons; in such
cases, the dates of designation are background of
the patronage of saints includes the dogmas of the
Mystical Body of Christ and Communion of Saints.
Listed below will be patron saints of occupations
and professions, and saints whose intercession is
sought for special needs.

GOD’S WORD TODAY
One line from today’s Gospel stands out: “The
people were astonished at his teaching.” Saint
Mark, of course, is speaking about the Lord’s
teaching in the synagogue at the beginning of his
public ministry. Too often we come to church and
the words that are proclaimed simply wash over us.
When was the last time we were “astonished at his
teaching”? Like the man with an unclean spirit in
today’s Gospel, we can have too many “spirits” that
distract us and make us less receptive to the word
of God. As we hear how Jesus drives the unclean
spirit from the man, let us ask the Lord to drive
from us any distractions that prevent us from
knowing the true power of the word of God. Let the
words of today’s responsorial psalm become our
own. Today, when we hear God’s voice, let us
pray that our hearts will not be hardened, but
opened to transformation and astonishment.
LECTOR BOOKS
The 2015 Lectors books are ready to be picked up

FEBRUARY - TWO BECOME ONE
We are not made to be alone. Human beings need
and complete each other. Friendship and community
satisfy that longing with bonds of common interest
and love. Marriage is a uniquely intimate form of
friendship that calls a man and a woman to love each
other in the manner of God’s covenant. Marriage is a
sacrament. Married love is fruitful and offered without
reservation. This love is in the image of Jesus'
faithfulness to the Church.
