In brief the Church's faith is that our Lord Jesus is truly and actually present in the Sacrament of Eucharist, the faithful partake of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, get the spiritual food which helps them to grow in grace, receive remission of sins, abide in Christ and Christ abides in them, get holy companionship with Christ and fellow worshippers and with all the Church on earth, are given true life in this world and eternal life. Bells ring and believers prostrate themselves when the Holy Eucharist is in procession. When the flesh is divided and given to the believers, every part of it even the smallest part is perfect body of the Lord, the same with the blood. It is also believed that once the bread and wine are changed they remain flesh and blood till they are completely consumed. Communion is consecrated and given on the same day.
Believers go and communicate in the church.
It is not an ordinary means of healing diseases and the healing power is not attributed to the oil but to the prayer. There should be seven or five priests ordinarily, but a smaIler number, even one, is sufficient. The sick man should be taken to the church but if it is impossible, he is anointed at home. For the anointing both oil and water are used separately and they are blessed by the priest on each occasion. Water is not essential.
