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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
