Anointing of the sick

Anoint

The Anointing of the Sick is for those whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or old age.
“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. 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.”

Catechism of the Catholic Church ( 1499 )
