To Request Holy Oil

• The liturgical vessels (chalices & ciboria) as well as crucifixes, religious statues and pictures in Audrey's room weep or secrete an oil mysteriously.
• An independent commission that investigated this phenomenon on behalf of the Bishop of Worcester in 2004 found no fraud and offered no explanation as to its cause or appearance.
• This oil is a mystery. It appears miraculously and without explanation or expectation. We believe it is a gift from God.
• This is not Sacred Chrism or a sacramental oil of the Church. Those oils are consecrated by the bishop and used only by ordained ministers to anoint.
• This oil and its connection to Audrey are used by God as His instruments. Please remember that it is God and your faith that heal you.
• We believe by the witness of Audrey's life that these gifts should lead you to the greatest healing power that God gives us- His Son in the Eucharist. Receive Him through Holy Communion often. Please visit Him daily by private visits and prayer to a church and His Presence in the tabernacle!
• Visitors to Audrey's room are able to venerate the consecrated hosts that also weep an oil. Though several years old and saturated in oil it is fragile and crisp enough to break if touched.
• Oil is provided to pilgrims free of charge. Please do not send money for the oil. We will need to return it to you. Donations to the Foundation for Audrey's cause to Sainthood are always welcome and appreciated but not for the oil. This is a gift from God, therefore it is a free gift to you.
• Please make only ONE request per person please.  Our local bishop has requested us to follow this directive.  So, we are not allowed to provide oil for others. Everyone needs to make their own request for oil.   
• Also, please do not send several individual envelopes in a single mailing.  We need to receive individual requests to know that each person is requesting the oil.  The explanation given by our bishop was to make sure that each person who requested truly wanted the oil.  Some well meaning people request oil for others, but we are not sure if someone else requests oil that the person it is intended for legitimately wants and will use the oil.  We do not want the oil discarded or disrespected because someone got the oil and had not specifically or personally requested it.
• Please send your request with a Self-Addressed Stamped (SASE) envelope with your return address on it to:
  • Little Audrey Santo Foundation
    Request for Holy Oil
    68 South Flagg Street
    Worcester, MA  01602
• Use the oil to bless yourself or others in prayer.

Thank You and God Bless You!

The Prayer Before the Anointing

All powerful God, Creator of heaven and earth, I believe that you hold all you created in your holy hands.  In this moment, I am helpless as I face the mystery of illness, suffering and evil.

I entrust myself to your wisdom.

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for our sake your Son took upon himself our sin and with it, all the suffering of the world.  In obedience to you he suffered and died to set us free.

I entrust myself to the grace of his humility, obedience and love in his redeeming death and resurrection.

Loving Father, your Son promised to send us the Holy Spirit as the Comforter to teach us how to call on you, to trust you, and to love you.

I entrust myself to your Spirit and love.

Merciful God, in every age you give us saints as witnesses of your presence in this world.  In a miraculous way, Audrey Santo was gifted by you to be a presence and sign of your love and healing power in her life.  You enabled her in life and in death to be a wellspring of healing for the distressed, the needy and the sick.  As testimony of that, this holy oil is your gift to bring healing, strength and consolation by your power to those in need.

I entrust myself to her intercession. 

The Anointing

Removing the cotton ball from its packaging and holding it in your right hand, or using the thumb of your right hand dipped in the actual oil, make the sign of the cross on the forehead, saying:

By this holy anointing, may the Holy Spirit fill you with the grace of God to bring you healing, strength and consolation in your need.

Then anoint the palm of each of the person’s hands with a sign of the cross, saying:

May God bless the work of these hands for the glory of his name.

Following this anointing, you may touch the cotton ball to a specific area where healing is needed or desired.

The Prayer After the Anointing:

Father of mercy and God of all consolation, I praise you:

Our Father …

Triune God, who pour yourself forth in love, I praise you;

Glory Be 

Holy Mary, Mother of God, model of faithfulness and refuge of all who suffer, pray for me:

Hail Mary …

Merciful God, in every age you give us saints as witnesses of your presence in this world.  In a miraculous way, Audrey Santo was gifted by you to be a presence and sign of your love and healing power in her life.  You enabled her in life and in death to be a wellspring of healing for the distressed, the needy and the sick.  As testimony of that, this holy oil is your gift to bring healing, strength and consolation by your power to those in need.

Beloved Audrey Santo, by your suffering and gracious life of love and dedication to Christ in the Eucharist, God blessed you with the gift of healing, to make whole both the soul as well as the body.  Beg for us from God what we cannot obtain for ourselves and heal our world of its brokenness.  May God hear you who lived for his glory, and send us the healing grace we need, through your powerful intercession in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord.  Amen.
