Subject: Elders anointing sick with oil. |
Bible Note: justme, I have never received this sacrament myself, but was present when my wife did once before a surgery several years ago. Very recently she was prayed over by our pastor, at her request during another medical crisis. She did not receive the sacramental anointing that time. She only asked him to pray over her this time, which he did. In the Catholic Church the preists and bishops are the elders. The biblical word for elders is presbuteri (sp?), which is the root for the English words prebyter and priest. Emmaus |
