Annointing of the Sick: “Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters (priests) of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven” (James 5:14-15). The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is for those who are seriously ill or in danger of death or suffering the difficulties of old age (cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1529).
