ANOINTING OF THE SICK

Anointing of the Sick
A sacrament of the sick

.The Church believes and confesses that among the seven sacraments, there is one especially intended to strengthen those who are being tried by illness, the Anointing of the Sick:
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 by James the apostle and brother of the Lord.

A sacrament through which Jesus offers healing and strengthening: through the power of the Holy Spirit
Used: when one is experiencing an illness or difficulties of old age
Frequency: can be received each time someone falls ill.

“Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord" James 5:14
