Anointing of the Sick

The Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament rooted in scripture and the healing ministry of Jesus. Throughout the Bible, we find numerous examples of Jesus bringing healing to those in need, emphasizing God's grace and compassion. Initially designated for the dying, the sacrament has evolved to encompass healing and strength for all who are ill. This sacred rite helps renew our relationship with Jesus and reinforces our faith, reminding us that through his Paschal Mystery, suffering is temporary and transformed into everlasting joy.
