The Sacrament of Healing
Holy Unction
Jesus gave His apostles the same power He had to heal
diseases. He did this in a very special and unique way. He
gave them olive oil to use in the anointing of the sick. [Mark
6:13] Olive oil, at that time, was a familiar therapeutic product
commonly used to comfort the sick. So it should come as
no surprise that the Lord would use oil to convey healing.
Healing of the sick occurred solely through the power of
Jesus mediated through His apostles and the tangible
medium of oil.
The Church continues to celebrate this Sacrament of Healing
established by Christ and as practiced in the early New
Testament Church. “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 any sins, he will be forgiven.”
[James 5:12-15] This scriptural passage reflects a continuity
connecting this ancient ritual to the present Church. We can
clearly see that what was practiced in the early Church is still
celebrated today and the essential message also remains;
namely, that Christ is always present ready to heal.
But what does healing imply?
Fr. John Meyendorff, one of the 20th Century’s greatest
Orthodox Theologian gives an ample answer. Healing is
requested only in the framework of repentance and spiritual
salvation, and not as an end in itself. Whatever the outcome
of the disease, the anointing symbolizes divine pardon and
liberation from the vicious cycle of sin, suffering and death,
in which fallen humanity is held captive. Compassionate to
human suffering, assembled together to pray for its suffering
member, the Church through its presbyters asks for relief,
forgiveness, and eternal freedom.” Meyendorff’s statement
indicates that God does not always promise physical healing
through this Sacrament but He does promise spiritual healing
that is unto eternal life through the cleansing of sin.
During Holy Week when we account how much God suffered
on the Cross to save our souls, we are reminded just how
much God cares for us. This is why every Wednesday of
Holy Week the Greek Orthodox Church celebrates this
Sacrament of Healing. She invites us to come forth with
faith to be touched by God’s love and abundant mercy.
– Fr. Peter
The Sacrament of
Holy Unction as it Relates To Holy Confession
As we begin a discussion regarding the relationship between
the Sacrament of Holy Unction and the Sacrament of Holy
Confession, is it worthwhile to read once again the statement
of Rev. Fr. John Meyendorff as quoted in the previous article.
Holy Unction is one of the Seven Holy Sacraments of the
Church. Since one aspect of the Holy Sacrament of Unction is
forgiveness of sins it goes without saying that it presupposes
participation in the Sacrament of Holy Confession. [see
James 5:15] Therefore, before being anointed with the oil of
Holy Unction, an Orthodox Christian has already participated
in the Sacrament of Holy Confession. This is one reason
why the theme of repentance is so strongly uttered during
the forty days of Lent. Our spiritual preparation for Holy
Pascha should begin many days before Holy Wednesday in
the numerous days that constitute Great Lent.
Every Sacrament is inter-related. Taking one without the
other; or receiving Holy Unction without participating in Holy
Confession is like building a house with no roof. It just makes
no sense. The risk one runs is substituting good (ORTHODOX) theology with bad (PERSONAL) theology. Certain

people may put all their confidence in James 5:15 where
the apostle says, “and the prayer of faith will save the sick
man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed
any sins, he will be forgiven” thus mistakenly substituting
this Sacrament for the Sacrament of Confession since this
Sacrament also cleanses sins.
The Church never fixes a number on how many times one
should participate in the Sacrament of Holy Confession but it
does indicate that the faithful must participate. Participation
is rightly understood by a daily confession through private
prayer and a periodic corporate confession with a priest.
Private confession keeps the mind focused on the mercy
of God by orienting the inner self toward Him. Sin, being
an imperfection in our being, leads the soul away from the
intended focus and directs it to selfish pursuits and gain.
Approaching God in prayer reminds us that God is the only
Perfect Being and healing of all imperfections can only come
from Him.
Corporate confession, on the other hand, means the
Sacrament of Holy Confession; which is not independent of
private confession but, in addition, entails entrance into the
Church.
What exactly does “entrance into the Church” denote?
Obviously, it implies something beyond being physically
present in the nave of the Church. In short, it means belonging
to the spiritual flock of Christ. In other words, being a member
of His Church. (I speak here of membership in the Church, not
in terms of being a “paid” member or having a “stewardship
card on file” but rather using the spiritual concept of being
ontologically connected and united to Christ. Thus, actually
being children of the Most High.)
Participating in both private confession and the Sacrament
of Confession is an instinctive act for a member of the
Church. Private confession alone may conjure up ideas of
an individual salvation, of which the Orthodox Church has
no concept. It also neglects recognition of “entrance into
the Church” thus making the individual just that; an island
of sorts not connected spiritually to anyone or anything. The
Church views salvation as a whole. In other words, it is the
Church that is saved, not the individual. The perfect example
illustrating “entrance into the Church” and salvation can be
found in the Old Testament with Noah and the ark. Using
the ark, God prefigures salvation in the Church. The Lord
directs those who would be saved to enter into the ark. This
is the Orthodox understanding of salvation: that those who
have entered into the Church have entered into the Ark of
Salvation.
Entering the Church or the Ark of Salvation implies that we
have done so both physically and spiritually. At this point,
it is important to observe the associative implication of the
material and the immaterial, i.e. the body and the soul.
Orthodox Theology is, at its core, holistic, in that; it expounds
the integration of the entire being, not only in worship but
also with daily pursuits. The human being is a composite
of an earthly body and a spiritual soul and the two equally
participate in worship and daily routine. “Then the Lord God
formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the Breath of Life; and the man became a living
being.” [Genesis 2:7] “All flesh is not the same flesh, but
there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals…
there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” [1
Corinthians 15]
The Orthodox Church also uses the holistic approach to
describe the mystical union of the faithful who are united
to one another through Christ. This event occurs during the
Sacrament of Initiation or Holy Baptism and thus makes the
Church manifest. “For where two or three are gathered in
My name, I am there in the midst of them.” [Matt. 18:20]
This Spiritual Ark – the Church – is also commonly called the
Body of Christ. “And He [God the Father] put all things under
His [Christ] feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to
the Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills
all in all. [Eph. 1:22-23]
Now since the Body of Christ is united with no separation,
to further the discussion of corporate confession, when one
member of the Body is affected by sin, it is paramount that
Page 3
COMMUNITY CORNER
the offending member request forgiveness from the entire
Body. It is important to understand that the Church itself is not
tarnished through sin, even though its members are sinful;
because its Head, Who is Christ, has already destroyed sin
through His precious sacrifice upon the Cross. “For Christ
is head of the Church; and He is the Saviour of the body.”
[Eph. 5:23] “That He might sanctify and cleanse Her [the
Church] with the washing of water by the word, that He might
present Her [the Church] to Himself a glorious Church, not
having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that She [the
Church] should be holy and without blemish.” [Eph. 5:26-27]
Simply stated, it is Christ Who keeps the entire Body holy.
In the participation of the Holy Sacrament of Confession,
the offending member renounces the corruptive nature of
personal sin and straightforwardly proclaims entrance into
the Church, i.e. the Ark of Salvation. This act reaffirms the
member as a partaker of the gift of salvation given to the
Church through Christ. The sinner, in essence, has the soul
and body healed through the Body of Christ. The Church
demonstrates the presence of the Body of Christ in the
Sacrament of Confession through the presence of the parish
priest. In other words, the company of the priest symbolizes
the manifestation of the Church and the presence of
Christ, while at the same time the individual’s participation
symbolizes “re-entrance” into the Ark of Salvation.
After participation in the Sacrament of Confession, the
member of the Church opens the soul to the healing aspect
of Holy Unction. Through the Sacrament of Confession, the
impediment of sin and its corruptive nature are removed like
a spiritual tumor from the soul. The member is now made
ready for continued healing through Holy Unction.
As stated earlier, every Sacrament is inter-related. Thus,
having received Holy Confession and Holy Unction, the seal
of perfection of both Sacraments is found in the Sacrament
of the Holy Eucharist.
Immediately, after Wednesday night’s Unction Service we
find the Church offering the Holy Eucharist on Holy Thursday
morning. To connect these two Sacraments, did you know
that the flour which holds the oil lamp used in the Unction
Service is taken after this Service and made into prosforo
(altar bread) which is used the next day during Liturgy? This
visible act of the Church shows a “tying together” of both the
practical and theological aspects of the Church.
Participation in the celebration and the reception of the Holy
Eucharist is essential. Receiving the Body and Blood of our
Lord Jesus Christ is the most fundamental and organic action
of the faithful. Through this divine act, we put into process the
intention of any prior Sacrament. The Eucharist can be seen
as the Ultimate Sacrament since it seals or “makes firm” the
other Sacraments by allowing us to directly commune with
the Divine Life.
Administration of
the Sacraments
The Chief Celebrant of every Sacrament of the Orthodox
Church is Christ. It is He Who makes the Sacraments holy.
The clergy do not add nor subtract to their sanctity. It is Christ;
invisibly present responding to the pleas of the Church, Who
sends the Holy Spirit to sanctify the faithful through various
visible signs. In the case of Holy Unction, the oil is the vehicle
through which God’s healing power is imparted to us.
The clergy are, however, the guardians and administrators
of the Holy Sacraments. Currently, a debate has arisen in
the Orthodox Church concerning the Sacrament of Holy
Unction. Specifically, who should administer this Sacrament?
To address this question a historical glance at the Eucharist
might be helpful.
You may find this interesting: In the early Church, the
Eucharist was distributed to the faithful under its two separate
elements. First, the Bread was given and then the Wine.
The faithful could even take the Eucharist home in order to
partake of it on a daily basis. However, because of certain
unintentional abuses the Church decided to combine the two
elements of the Eucharist in a chalice and administer them
by using a common spoon. These abuses included: not
consuming the entire portion of the Eucharist by: forgetting
that it was stored in a drawer or closet; allowing mold to
grow on it; discarding stale pieces or allowing rodents to eat
it; etc.
Today, Orthodox clergymen under somewhat different
circumstances but yet in similar fashion are debating: the
appropriateness of administering the Sacrament by nonclergymen; the unintentional abuses surrounding the
administration of Holy Unction and how the Sacrament
is discarded. In the midst of this debate, it seems most
appropriate at this time to stop the practice of allowing
individuals to take home Holy Unction in the form of oil
soaked Q-tips.
Thus, beginning this year at Holy Trinity, parishioners will not
be able to take home the Holy Unction. Holy Unction will,
upon your request, be administered after every service from
Holy Wednesday afternoon until Holy Saturday afternoon.
If individuals, who are incapacitated due to sickness, need
the Sacrament of Holy Unction administered the parish
priest should be notified so that he may schedule a special
pastoral visit. This allows the connection between priest and
parishioner.
I hope that you have a most rewarding and spiritually fulfilling
Lenten period and Holy Week. – Fr. Peter
As we approach the end of Great Lent and enter into Holy
Week and Pascha, may the Lord continue to bless and keep
each of you in His Divine Grace.
With love in Christ, -- Fr. Peter

JOY AND HOPE
Kathy Maglaras, Yiana Leichtling, and
Sandy Boutsikaris, Coordinators
Joy/Hope is a Holy Trinity ministry for children between the
ages of 5 and 11. It is the mission and goal of Joy/Hope
to promote bonding between the child and faith, promote
Greek Orthodox Christianity and develop Greek Orthodox
Fellowship. We strive to incorporate these principles of
worship, fellowship, service and/or witness into our activities.
We are proud that there are 40 children in Joy/Hope, and we
encourage and welcome all families to participate.
Fellowship activities are a great way to build unity in Joy/
Hope. On Sunday, March 16, 2008, our Joy/Hope hosted a
bowling afternoon with the Joy/Hope from St. George’s in
Piscataway. Over 50 children attended and enjoyed this fun
activity together at Strike and Spare in Greenbrook. This
was a wonderful opportunity for both children and parents to
get to know each other, and to build the Joy/Hope community
amongst our churches.
Looking ahead for April, Joy/Hope will be participating in the
annual Quilt-a-thon planned for April 5, and Palm Making on
April 19, 2008. Both of these activities are a way to promote
two of Joy/Hope’s principles of Service and Witness.
Information on the Quiltathon will be provided in the weekly
bulletin. This year, Joy/Hope will join the community to make
palms on Saturday, April 19, 2008 at 10:30am. Father Peter
will be joining us.
For the month of May, Joy/Hope will be responsible for
serving coffee during Fellowship Hour. Volunteers are
needed. Please let us know if you are interested in helping
out or e-mail us at joyhopehtgoc@gmail.com
More detailed information will be forthcoming in the weekly
church bulletin and will also be posted on the Joy/Hope
bulletin board.
We thank all the children and parents for their continued
enthusiasm and support of Joy/Hope!

A LENTEN COOKBOOK FOR ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS by
the Saint Nectarios American Orthodox Church is a treasury
of great recipes and articles. Note “On Fasting” (pages 1014). Also, “Appendix J” explains the times and requirements
for fasting. The bio of Saint Euphrosinos the Cook (pages
6-9) makes one wonder why he is only called “the Cook”! As
Lent takes us away from our usual fare, this cookbook and
Saint Euphrosinos’ example help with our dietary fast and
our spiritual journey towards a bright Easter Sunday!
Stop by the Book Store table to browse, or just to say “hi!” If

PARKING
For the convenience of our parishioners and visitors who will
be attending church services at Holy Trinity on Palm Sunday,
Holy Friday night and Holy Saturday night, the church will
provide a van service. Once the church parking lot is filled,
the policy officer on duty will direct drivers to go into the
Union County College parking lot. There, a van will transport
you to the front of the church. At the end of the service, the

AGAPE VESPERS
At the Agape Vespers on Easter Sunday morning, the
Gospel lesson is read in many languages. It has been the
tradition at Holy Trinity to seek out individuals who can read
a language other than English or Greek to participate in
this tradition. Some of the languages in which the Gospel
has been read in the past are French, Italian, Latin, Arabic,
German, Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, Afrikan, Danish
and Russian, just to name a few.
Have you participated in this service in the past and would
like to be a reader again this year? Are you proficient in
one of these languages or another language? The Church
Office has some translations but it would be helpful if you

On Wednesday, February 27th, Dr. Tom Papademetriou,
a former parishioner and psaltis, who is now an Assistant
Professor of Greek History and Executive Director of
Interdisciplinary Studies at The Richard Stockton College
of New Jersey, presented a lecture with audiovisuals on
his research titled “The Anatolian Project”. Funded by the
National Endowment for the Humanities, with participating
international scholars from the United States, Turkey,
Greece and England and using modern technology. this is
a collaborative survey of religious structures created by the
Greek community in the regions of Anatolia (Asia Minor)
during the period of Ottoman rule (1299-1923.) The Greek
population that built these churches was forcibly removed
in 1923 and, unless properly documented, will disappear
from the historical record. The visual presentation showed
us many of the churches currently being researched and
documented.

Dr. Papademetriou gave a quick review of some of the littleknown historical events which led to the Catastrophe and
the largest forced exchange of populations. Over 1,000,000
Greeks were deported to Greece and about 500,000
Moslems were sent to Turkey. Thus, people who had lived
and worked together for centuries, if not always amicably,
endured the hardships which the exchange caused.
Dr. Papademetriou is actively engaged in building a strong
Hellenic Studies program at Stockton. A dedicated scholar,
he earned his Ph.D. from Princeton University. He was
in residence as a Junior Fellow at Harvard University’s
Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Research Center and Library.
He has a B.A. from Hellenic College and a master’s in
Divinity from Holy Cross School of Theology
The Cultural Committee was organized in 1983 by Harry
Panagos, our former chairman, and we had our first event in
February of 1984. We are proud to have presented lectures
on many subjects - Ancient and Modern Greece, language,
culture, religion, wars - The Greek Holocaust with testimony
from a survivor, Mrs. Kehayes, well-known authors - Nicholas
Gage and Theo Halo and many others. A big thank you to
those who have supported the cultural events. Stay tuned!
