Holy Wednesday Unction: Annointing the Physically & Spiritually Sick

Tonight in Orthodox Christian Churches around the world, the Mystery of Unction is given by the presbyters (priests) and bishops to the Faithful Christians of their flock. Are we not all spiritually not 100%? I think so.

Some may wonder what is the scriptural reference to this Tradition. Although Tradition created the Bible and not the Bible creating Tradition, here it is:

"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven"

(James 5:14-15).

Her family and my family have noticed how happy we make one another and others have even seen it in pictures. I have to wonder how rare it is that someone would not only have but meet and actually marry their soulmate? I do not know, but I consider myself the luckiest man int he world to have someone who loves me unlike I have ever been loved and someone who I love unlike I have ever loved anyone before. I truly am happy and satisfied with life when she is with me. If she were to die before me, I am sure that like many truly in-love elderly couples who experience this, I would die of a lonely heart and my prime desire to be with her,

Exit the Dreaming…

I met one in the Dreaming and soon after met her in the Waking world too.

Another recently left the Dreaming and now she has departed from my Waking world now.

Pray that I not dream of your meeting with Death! :-P

So maybe But as my regular blog readers know, maybe that is okay, as I have already dreamt of my own meeting with Death and lived on in the Dreaming to experience it and its immediate after effects!

While Dream, Desire, Delirium, Destruction, Despair, and Destiny seem Endless-ly linked, Dream and Death are not as closely linked as it has been rumored to be?
