GOOD NEWS 3:2o- 41 I Luke 9 z8 b-36 I think people can be divided into two categories: detail people and vision people. Some people are both, but many of us lean one way. Some are vision people, good at seeing the big picture. Others are detail people, focused on carrying out each small step to make the big picture happen. I am, undoubtedly, a detail person.

to-do list (or several), and l'm often consumed with crossing off as many items as possible. lt feels oh so good! My near-obsession with details and to-do lists came to mind when I read Saint Paul's description of "enemies of the cross of Christ." He particularly notes, "Their minds are occupied with earthly things." Oh dear. My lists are nothing but a bunch of earthly things. They're not all problems, but they can be distractions from God. I love a good
On the other hand, today's Gospel story of Jesus'transfiguration is all about vision. The disciples are given a privileged glimpse into Jesus'glorified body and the glory of eternal life. What an incredible moment-no wonder Peter wanted to build tents and remain there. l'm sure the apostles believed they'd never forget that experience. Yet we know Peter later betrayed Jesus, and the others abandoned him. They lost sight of the vision in the face of earthly

This Gospel challenges us to keep the vision of eternal life always in front of us, especially as we navigate the mess and muck and to-do lists of everyday life. Our earthly concerns are ever before us, but so too should be our hope of J an el Eske r s u n dayb u lleti n @ li g u o ri. o rg sharing in Jesus'glory.

F{owever, when conditions such as your husband's don't allow this, judgment on the suitability for anointing is to be made prudently and without scruple (Pastoral Care of tLrc Srck, 8). For example, anointing is conferred on people who have lost consciousness or the use of reason if as Christian believers they would have "at least implicitly

anointing also absolves any sins.
When a habitual desire to die as a faithful Catholic is implied before a person's illness, the special grace of the sacrament of anointing has this as one of its effects: "the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of Penance" (CCC 7532).
