Sacraments of Healing - Session XV

My apologies for not uploading this sooner. I am including both class session's PowerPoint presentation. You will notice that one is for the First Communion Class and the other is for the RCIA & Adult Religious Class.
You will notice that the focus from both classes are quite similar, with one exception; in the First Communion Class, I focused more on the Eucharist.

The Sacraments of Healing are probably the most, in my opinion, misunderstood sacraments. Here's why:

1. The sacrament of Reconciliation is misunderstood because we, as individuals, have go to a priest to confess our sins to God and the Church and we have to verbally admit what we have done wrong.
2. The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick was thought to be for those who are on their death bed.

Jesus truly did give authority to his apostles to forgive sins. This SACRED TRADITION has been passed down to the priests and bishops since the apostles. Jesus understood that Baptism was necessary but because of our weaknesses through influences in the world and sickness, we needed something more. Jesus extended his Mercy and Love for us even further beyond that of dying on the Cross. Yes, his death on the cross and rising was victorious one! However, the sacraments that He instituted is a beautiful reminder of why He died for us.
