KEY WORDS AND ACTIONS:
Anointing by a priest with the holy Oil of the Sick. The priest lays his hands on the head of the
sick person. He anoints their forehead and hands. He prays: “Through this holy anoint-
ing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spir- it. May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up.” (CCC, 1513.)
FIND IT IN THE BIBLE:
“Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint [him] with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the
sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has com- mitted any sins, he will be forgiven.” – JAMES 5:14-16
Also: Mt 8:17, Mt 10: 8, 38, 25:
36; Mk 5:34, 6:12-13, 16:17-18;
Lk 6:19; Acts 9:34; 1 Cor 12:9,28,30
THE GRACES GIVEN: * Unites the sick person to the passion of Christ, for his own good and that of the whole Church. * Strengthens and brings peace and courage to endure the sufferings of illness or old age. * Forgives sins when the sick person is unable to receive the sacrament of Penance. * Healing of physical health, only if it is conducive to the salvation of the sick person’s soul. (See CCC, 1532.) * Preparation for death and passing to eternal life.
MINISTER OF THE SACRAMENT: Priest
THIS SACRAMENT CAN BE REPEATED AS NEEDED. In ideal circumstances the Anointing of the Sick
ought to be accompanied by Penance, and reception of the Eucharist. Communion at the end of life is called Viaticum (Latin for “provision for the journey”). See CCC, 1524-1525.
Oil of the Sick = graces and strength from the Holy Spirit
