Anointing of the SickThe Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament that uses the Oil of the Sick, blessed by the bishop during Holy Week. Contrary to popular belief, it is not only for those who are dying. It provides special graces for the soul, helping anyone facing illness or the challenges of old age.The special grace of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick offers:
- Union with Christ’s suffering for the good of the person and the Church
- Strength, peace, and courage to endure illness or aging in a Christian way
- Forgiveness of sins, if the person cannot receive the Sacrament of Penance
- Restoration of health, if it benefits the salvation of the soul
- Preparation for eternal life
The Anointing of the Sick is a gift of God’s grace to sustain and heal, both spiritually and physically.
