Anointing of the Sick
What is the Anointing of the Sick?
The question has been asked as to what the Anointing of the Sick is. It is a reasonable question. St. Augustine said: “Education is the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity, and the provocation to grace in the soul.”
Through the Anointing of the Sick (previously known as extreme unction), the Church commends the faithful who are sick to the suffering and glorified Lord, for relief and salvation. The Anointing of the Sick is not only a sacrament for those who are at the point of death, but it is also for those who begin to be in danger of death from sickness or old age. Moreover, this sacrament serves as the spiritual strengthening of the sick person during the time of illness when dying. The Anointing of the Sick has great significance for those struggling with mental illnesses, fears, and traumas – it strengthens mental health as well.
The anointing is carefully performed, conferred, first on the forehead (this means it is necessary that your forehead be visible when receiving the sacrament), and on the hands (hold your hands in front of you near your heart, with your palms facing upwards and your hands wide opened to receive the sacred oil).
Only a priest validly administers the Anointing of the Sick, since the sacrament is theologically considered to be the complement of the Sacrament of Penance. It belongs to the Pastor to decide who can receive the Anointing of the Sick.
If you have a request or questions, please contact the office.
