Though the Anointing of the Sick is a special blessing for those nearing the end of their lives, it is available to anyone experiencing serious illness or approaching surgery, no matter what age they are! This incredible sacrament prays primarily for the healing of our souls, strengthening us for whatever comes our way and giving us courage in the face of difficult circumstances. However, just as Jesus’ ministry was marked by constant healing miracles, the Anointing of the Sick (or the “Last Rites”) frequently brings about remarkable or miraculous physical healings!
If you or a loved one need this sacrament, call the parish office at 303-744-6119 to arrange an appointment. Don’t be afraid to invite God into your wounds; when He’s called, He never fails to show up!
