ANOINTING OF THE SICK

The Anointing of the Sick is the sacrament given to seriously ill Christians and continues Jesus’ work of healing and salvation. The sacrament consists of the anointing of the forehead and hands with blessed oil, with the priest saying,

“Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up.”

By the grace of this sacrament, the individual receives peace and courage to endure, unity with Christ and the whole church, forgiveness of sins, restoration of health if for salvation and preparation for passing over into eternal life if it is God’s will. Anointing of the sick reminds us that the Lord’s compassion is endless.
