Attended the Mass for the "Anoiting of the Sick" at the Cathedral by His Grace Archbishop William Goh on 25 Feb 17. "Anointing of the Sick" is a sacrament of the Catholic Church that is administered to a Catholic "who, having reached the age of reason.
Archbishop Goh, together with a couple of other priests entered the church at 1100 hrs to a full house.
Though we were seated at the back of the church, His Grace came to the back and stopped at where we were seated. Pleasantly surprised, the ushers started at our row and Elsie was the very first to be anointed by the Archbishop for the day's event. Nick and Sarah were next in line, so technically the first family for blessings for the day by His Grace.
In attendance was Graciella. What a pleasant surprise too to meet her there. Must be good experience for her too.
A benediction was done towards the end of the sacrament. It is a short invocation for divine help, blessing and guidance. It included the exposition of the eucharistic host in the monstrance and the blessing of the people with it.
A parting shot with Graciella, as we made our way to CHIJMES for lunch at Ikkousha-Hakata Ramen. Not too bad; a little salty though.
