First Sunday - Prayers for Healing with Anointing | |
On the first Sunday of each month beginning this Sunday, May 5th, we will offer anointing and special prayers for healing after each Eucharist (8:00, 10:00, and 12:15). As Episcopalians, anointing with oil and ministration to the sick (hospital visits, etc.) is a fundamental part of our sacramental life in community. But these special prayers can also be offered within the context of the Holy Eucharist for anyone who prays for the healing of mind, body, or spirit. We already offer anointing and prayers for healing on Wednesdays at our mid-day Holy Eucharist, and now we will also offer them on the first Sunday of each month.
The traditional term for anointing and prayers for healing is "unction." From our Book of Common Prayer (p. 861): "Unction is the rite of anointing with oil, or the laying on of hands, by which God's grace is given for the healing of spirit, mind, or body."
| |
|
The formula for anointing with oil from our Book of Common Prayer is the following (page 456):
-
(Priest) I anoint you with this oil in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
-
(Priest) As you are outwardly anointed with this holy oil, so may our heavenly Father grant you the inward anointing of the Holy Spirit. Of his great mercy, may he forgive you your sins, release you from suffering, and restore you to wholeness and strength. May he deliver you from all evil, preserve you in all goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
All are welcome to receive the rite of anointing for healing of any kind. At the end of Holy Eucharist this Sunday (and on the first Sunday of each month going forward), right after the dismissal, those who wish to be anointed and to receive prayers for healing are invited to come to the altar rail and kneel, and a member of the clergy will meet you there. If you cannot climb the stairs for any reason, we will meet you in the first row of chairs nearest the baptismal font.
O God, the source of all health: So fill my heart with faith in your love, that with calm expectancy I may make room for your power to possess me, and gracefully accept your healing; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

"Pews to Chairs" Project
There is still time to donate a chair!
For many decades now, pews have been replaced by chairs in countless cathedrals and churches across the Episcopal Church and the world with remarkable success. In many cases, it has allowed congregations to experience a transformation and rebirth of their communities. Stackable, multi-use chairs will give Trinity a fully flexible and multi-purpose space that functions not only for worship, but for a variety of ministry and community events. (See the above picture of Trinity's new cathedral chairs which arrived the week before Christmas.)
The success of Transforming Trinity and the Pews to Chairs project depends on the donation of chairs by cathedral parishioners, congregations, and individuals across The Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida and the wider Church. Chairs may be donated in honor of or in memory of a loved one or in honor of a specific church, congregation, or organization. Please consider donating one or more chairs!
To donate: Please download the chair donation form HERE, complete it, and make your check payable to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral. Please make sure to write “Pews to Chairs” in the memo line. Mail checks and forms to: Trinity Episcopal Cathedral, 464 NE 16th Street, Miami, FL 33132.
Online donations can also be made on the Cathedral website (www.trinitymiami.org) under the “Giving” tab – please be sure to choose the “Pews to Chairs Campaign” on the dropdown menu to designate your donation.
Please reach out to Father Jason by email at frjason@trinitymiami.org if you have any questions or concerns. You can also find more details about the Pews to Chairs project HERE.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?
Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
