    ANOINTING OF THE SICK


    THEOLOGY

    Shaping Lives Beyond Words


    The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is
    administered during periods of illness -
    often near the time of death - in order to
    bring the person receiving it spiritual and
    physical strength.

    As a sacrament (an outward sign of


    something internal), it is performed to give
    God’s grace, through the Holy Spirit.

    In the Church's Sacrament of Anointing of
    the Sick, through the ministry of the
    priest, it is Jesus who touches the sick to
    heal them from sin – and sometimes even
    from physical ailment. His cures were
    signs of the arrival of the Kingdom of God.
    The core message of his healing tells us of
    his plan to conquer sin and death by his
    “dying and rising.”
    Shaping Lives Beyond Words
    The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no
    need to wait until a person is at the point
    of death to receive the Sacrament. A
    careful judgment about the serious nature
    of the illness is sufficient.

    Psalm 103:3
    He forgives all my sins and heals all my
    diseases.

    1 Peter 2:24
    24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body
    on the cross, so that we might die to sins
    and live for righteousness; “by his wounds
    you have been healed.”

    The Catholic Catechism (Catholic
    teaching) states:
    This sacred anointing of the sick was
    instituted by Christ our Lord as a true and
    proper sacrament of the New Testament. It
    is alluded to indeed by Mark, but is
    recommended to the faithful and
    promulgated (promoted or made widely
    known) by James the apostle and brother
    of the Lord. - CCCShaping
    1511 Lives Beyond Words
    It is designed to help the sick to be
    strengthened spiritually against
    temptation, discouragement and anxiety.
    These should be replaced by a sense of
    strength and peace.

    The Catholic Church finds the basis for this
    sacrament in the New Testament because
    Jesus sent out his followers to preach and
    heal the sick.

    In the New Testament book of James it
    says:

    Is anyone among you sick? Let them call


    the elders of the church to pray over them
    and anoint them with oil in the name of
    the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith
    will make the sick person well; the Lord
    will raise them up. If they have sinned,
    they will be forgiven. — James 5:14-15

    The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick does not promise
    healing. The Catholic Catechism says:

    The special grace of the sacrament of the Anointing of the


    Sick has as its effects: the uniting of the sick person to the
    passion of Christ ... the strengthening, peace, and courage to
    endure in a Christian manner the sufferings of illness or old
    age; the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to
    obtain it through the sacrament of penance; the restoration of
    health, if it is conducive to the salvation of his soul; the
    preparation for passing over to eternal life.
    — CCC 1532

    Catholics also look to the example of the Apostle Paul in the
    New Testament who, when writing to the Church in Galatia,
    says that he has been suffering from an illness which God has
    not taken away.

    The Catholic Church does not believe that the sacrament of


    Anointing of the Sick replaces the need for medical care.
    Instead it recognises that, at times, suffering through sickness
    can have a purpose.

    Through suffering from illness, Roman Catholics come to


    depend more fully on God and to feel closer to Him.
