THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK

"By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ."

This is a sacrament of healing received before surgery, during an extended illness or in extreme cases, do not hesitate to call on the priest to offer the prayers of the Church.
