Anointing of the Sick

Anointing of the Sick

“Through the apostle James, he has commanded us: Are there any who are sick among you?  Let them send for the priests of the Church, and let the priests pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith will save the sick persons, and the Lord will raise them up” (From the Rite for the Sacrament of Anointing)

If you or someone you know is gravely ill, about to undergo a serious operation, or is in danger of death, the Sacrament of Anointing is a powerful and graced way for Jesus to come to your assistance. You are always encouraged to contact a priest whenever you would like to receive this Sacrament.
