Les Stewart Guided by the light of God’s word, and Prayers for our Sick: accompanied by the prayers of the saints in heaven Deryk Kingston, Roslyn Rudd, Ian Blyton, and our brothers and sisters here on earth, we begin Pavla Munclinger, Frank Pussswald, a journey of growth in faith and in Church’s Darcy Stewart, Ken Jones,Clare Nowland, sacramental life. The Christian life remains a Judy Leosartis, Fran Crockett, Pauline Taffa, constant struggle, with the help of God’s grace, to Ashlyn Rick, Leno Tonizzo, Fred Hanna, renounce sin and to grow in union with the Lord. Connor Gebauer, Keith Tozer, Pat Oliver As a sign of the strength needed for this spiritual struggle, those to be baptized are first anointed with the oil of catechumens. This anointing, and the prayers of exorcism that accompany the rite, invoke the gift of the Holy Spirit, who defends us from the snares of the devil and strengthens us to persevere in our freedom as God’s adopted sons and daughters in Christ. Just as ancient athletes anointed themselves with oil to prepare for their contests, so we are prepared to live fully the new life of grace, trusting in the Lord’s triumph over sin and death, sustained by the prayers of the whole Church, and awaiting the fulfilment of our hope in heaven.
