[Charles W. Gusmer, <em>And You Visited Me: Sacramental Ministry to the Sick and Dying<\/em> (Collegeville, MN: Pueblo, 1984, 1989, 1990), 87]\u00a0 Anointing of the sick, then, is addressed to this state of powerlessness.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/download.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-35572 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/download.jpeg\" alt=\"download\" width=\"183\" height=\"275\" \/><\/a>Anointing addresses this crisis situation by reinserting the sick person into the overarching Christian narrative of God\u2019s love.\u00a0 In direct opposition to consumerist modes of abstraction, the rite does not envision administration of the sacrament as an isolated instance of pastoral care.\u00a0 Ministry to the sick includes companionable visits, covering household chores, providing meals, bringing Communion to the homebound, etc., and it is a responsibility that devolves upon the local Christian community as such\u2014a point made by the rite in nos. 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, and 43.\u00a0 Numerous commentators have drawn attention to the idea that the sacrament of anointing is emptied of meaning if it is not part of wider context of pastoral care; here I draw on James Empereur as a representative example: \u201cAnointing cannot be seen as an isolated ritual action but must mirror the acts of concern which precede and follow the anointing.\u00a0 As in the case of the other sacraments, the authenticity of anointing depends on the quality of religious experience being articulated.\u201d [James Empereur, <em>Prophetic Anointing: God\u2019s Call to the Sick, the Elderly, and the Dying<\/em> (Wilmington, DE: Michael Glazier, 1982), 205]<\/p>\n<p>To put it another way, anointing of the sick is a profound statement of the Church\u2019s belief that in illness \u201cwe should never have to stand alone.\u201d [<em>United States Catholic Catechism for Adults<\/em>, (Washington, D.C.: United States Catholic Conference, 2006), 256]\u00a0 Consumerism is twinned with the notion that one\u2019s worth and indeed one\u2019s <em>self<\/em>-worth is determined by the degree to which one is productive, remunerated, and able to engage in purchase after consumer purchase.\u00a0 Consequently, sicknesses that impinge upon one\u2019s productivity are viewed in American culture as private or even shameful.\u00a0 In the pastoral care it extends to the sick, the Christian community instead endorses the view of St. Paul, namely, that when one member of the body suffers, all suffer (1 Cor. 12:26).<\/p>\n<p>Those who are sick are not merely told \u201cyou do not stand alone.\u201d They are told \u201cyou stand <em>forth<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 In Baptism, one is plunged into the Paschal Mystery of Christ and summoned to live a life of discipleship, following the Master who freely embraced the Cross and emptied himself for the sake of humanity.\u00a0 The fourth-century John Chrysostom had urged the newly baptized in his community to regard the robes in which they had been clad: \u201cNow the robe you wear and the gleaming garments attract the eyes of all; if you should will to do so, by keeping your royal robes shining even more brightly than it now does, you will always be able to draw all who behold you to show the same zeal and praise for the Master.\u201d [John Chrysostom, <em>Fourth Instruction on Baptism, <\/em>18]\u00a0 Writing in our own day, Paul Meyendorff applies this baptismal theme to the sacrament of anointing:<\/p>\n<p>Anointing of the sick, just like baptism, is not only for the forgiveness of sins, but for new birth, for enlightenment, for liberation from slavery, for adoption into sonship.\u00a0 The oil we are now using reminds us of the oil of gladness with which we were anointed prior to baptism, as well as the anointing with chrism we received immediately after we emerged from the font.\u00a0 We are thus reminded of the task that was set before us at our baptism: to \u201cshine with the radiance of the saints.\u201d [Paul Meyendorff, <em>The Anointing of the Sick<\/em> (Crestwood, N.Y.: St. Vladimir\u2019s Seminary, 2009), 83.]<\/p>\n<p>Do our Christian communities live up to this vision of anointing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last fall, I offered a reflection on anointing of the sick.
