The Sacrament of Holy Unction On Holy Wednesday Evening of Great and Holy Week, the Mystery (Sacrament) of Holy Unction was celebrated at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Westfield. His Eminence Metropolitan Evangelos of New Jersey presided accompanied by Rev. Protopresbyter Peter Delvizis, Rev. Presbyter Gregory Rubis and Rev. Deacon Panayioti Hanley.
The Sacrament of Holy Unction shows us the mercy of God. Being sinners, we suffer in this present world. In His love, however, the Longsuffering Lord overlooks our broken and frail nature. He is concerned with our physical and spiritual well-being. Calling all to repentance and new life, the Lord opens His hands upon the Cross to receive us as His children. As St. James instructs, “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the Presbyters (Priests) 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 and the Lord will raise him up.” –James 5:14-15

True Christian Stewardship
A Spiritual Dimension
If I believe that God is the Giver and the Owner and I the manager, then it follows that a Steward trusts the Bible’s directions on how to manage God’s gifts. God expects us to give Him thanks by managing our gifts of time, talents and treasures according to His will.

His All Holiness Consecrates the Holy Myrrh at the Patriarchate.
His All Holiness, Bartholomew I, gathers around him hierarchs from around the Diaspora to consecrate the Holy Myrrh in Constantinople. This Holy Myrrh is then sent to all the parishes under the jurisdiction of Ecumenical Patriarchate. We use this Holy Myrrh at Holy Trinity during a Chrismation after one has been baptized. View here.
