Anointing of the Sick

Jesus saw moments of illness and suffering as sacred opportunities to turn to God for healing. That’s what the Church also does in the Anointing of the Sick. From the earliest days of the Church, its leaders would visit the sick, lay hands on them, anoint them with blessed oil and pray for healing.

In the Anointing of the Sick, God the Father says, “Wake up! Tune in! Jesus is stronger than suffering, illness and even death. I send my Holy Spirit to strengthen you during this difficult time. Whether in recovery or in death, you are not alone.” source: www.americancatholic.org
