TEACHING about the
SACRAMENT OF THE SICK
Jeanne Hunt
Catechize with Scripture, signs, prayers, and experiences
A nointing of the Sick is a very positive encounter with our God of hope. God is a loving creator who wishes to re- store us with his love. Anointing of the Sick is a rite of healing, strength- ening, and compassion. As we teach about this sacra- ment, we should connect student learning with the graces that can bring a strengthening for ongoing perseverance — and possibly a restorative energy —
to the person who suffers.
To teach this, we need to revisit the learning styles and catechize with sight, sound, and move- ment so the essentials of this sacrament are revealed to our students.

Critical to our understanding of this sacrament is the directive we find in the New Testament from the Apostle James.
