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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
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.

PRAYER TO THE HOLY FAMILY
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate
the splendor of true love, to you we turn with trust.
Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too
may be places of communion and prayer, authentic
schools of the Gospel and small domestic Churches.
Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again
experience violence, rejection and division: may all
who have been hurt or scandalized find ready comfort
and healing.
Holy Family of Nazareth, may the approaching
Synod of Bishops make us once more mindful of the
sacredness and inviolability of the family, and its
beauty in God’s plan.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer.
Amen.
