What is the Anointing of the Sick?
The Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of healing, offered to those who are seriously ill, preparing for surgery, elderly, or nearing the end of life. It is not only a preparation for death—it is a channel of grace for comfort, peace, and sometimes even physical recovery.
The priest lays hands on the person, prays, and anoints them with oil consecrated by the bishop. This act recalls Christ’s compassion and healing ministry and brings the person into communion with the Church in their suffering.
It can be received more than once, and is often administered in homes, hospitals, or during special parish liturgies.
