Rev. Alexandra Sangster Jesus of the Sorrows. who knows the solitary space of loss, be our companion as we gather in our heartbreak. Breathe your gentle presence into us. There is a service that I do. It is a service of anointing. I do it when someone is dying. I do it with oil. I do it because the bible tells me so Exodus 29:7
Then you shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him. ”Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, Because the Lord has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; Luke 10:34
and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And of course… Mark 14:8 She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.
