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.
