Anointing of the Sick in Alto Pichigau: a visit of grace and consolation

JUL 14, 2025

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the Church, that they may pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will make the sick person well, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven. (James 5:14-15)

Continuing with our extraordinary missions, on this occasion we headed to the town of Alto Pichigua, in the province of Espinar, where we continued our catechetical work with children and young people, as well as home visits.

 

We had the grace of accompanying the local parish priest, Father Zenobio, to visit an elderly couple, aged 90 and 96, who were both blind and had very limited hearing. Due to their delicate health, they are no longer able to actively participate in sacramental life. During this visit, the sacrament of the anointing of the sick was administered to them, bringing comfort, faith, and hope to their home.
