Several people have asked me for the prayer I use when anointing people who are baptised. I adapted these words slightly from what Bishop John Thornton, my 1st bishop in Idaho, did when he baptised somebody.
I anoint your eyes so you may see God in everyone.
I anoint your ears so you may hear the cry of the poor.
I anoint your lips so you may speak nothing but the truth of God’s love.
I anoint your hands so everything you receive and everything you give is a sacrament.
And I anoint your feet so you may run to those who need you.
