Understanding the Sacraments of Healing: A Rite-Based Approach
Author Randy Stice
Guiding readers through the
rites of Penance and Reconciliation and the Anointing of the Sick, Understanding
the Sacraments of Healing examines each of the rites’ Old Testament
foundations, liturgical history, and sacramental theology, exploring the way in
which the sacraments of healing affect and influence one’s daily Christian
life.
“What do the sacraments have to do with faith? With Jesus? With my life? Anyone
who celebrates the sacraments—and anyone who is charged with preaching or
teaching about the sacraments—must have clear and compelling answers to these
questions today. Fr. Stice gives us essential answers and insights to the sacraments—here
Anointing of the Sick and Penance and Reconciliation—informed by the wisdom of
the Church over the centuries.”
Christopher Carstens,
Director
Office for Sacred Worship,
Diocese of La Crosse, Wisconsin
“Engaging, insightful, and useful, Understanding the Sacraments of Healing: A
Rite-Based Approach will be a valuable resource for anyone who seeks to
understand the Church’s authentic teaching on the great sacraments of healing.
Fr. Stice sheds particularly beautiful light upon these sacraments through the
lens of the actual rituals themselves--that privileged place of encounter with
the One who calls all men to communion.”
