Anointing of the sick

GOD’S SPECIAL GRACES THAT COMFORT AND HEAL. ANOINTING OF THE SICK

Anointing the sick is the other sacrament of healing. It is administered to those who are seriously ill or suffering. The purpose of this sacrament is to unite us with Christ’s passion.

If a person is seriously ill or close to life’s end, they may call a priest to bestow anointing of the sick for them. The priest will come and anoint the forehand and hands of the person with chrism (holy oil) and recite a special blessing.

The sacrament is a reminder to the suffering person that the end of this life is not the end altogether and that there awaits us Christ’s Kingdom after death.

“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.”(James 5:14)
