| ANOINTING OF THE SICK |
| Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him." James 5:14-15 Traditionally referred to as Extreme Unction or Last Rites, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick was for the remission of sins and the provision of spiritual strength and health. In modern times, however, its use has been expanded to all who are gravely ill or are about to undergo a serious operation, and the Church stresses recover his health. Like Confession and Holy Communion, to which it is closely linked, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick can be repeated as often as is necessary. |
