Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is a sacred gift through which God offers healing, comfort, and strength to those who are seriously ill, facing major surgery, or nearing the end of life. Through this Sacrament, the Holy Spirit brings peace, courage, and spiritual renewal, uniting the sick person more closely with Christ in His suffering. It is a powerful reminder of God’s abiding love and care for each of His children, offering both physical and spiritual support in times of need.
Also known as Extreme Unction or Last Rites when combined with Confession and the Holy Eucharist (Viaticum), this Sacrament provides grace, healing, and preparation for eternal life. It is a sacrament of compassion and hope, administered to help the faithful experience God’s presence and strength in moments of illness or approaching death.
