  9. CCC 1499 • 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.

  10. Illness in Human Life • CCC1500- Illness and suffering have always been among the gravest problems confronted in human life. In Illness, we experience our powerlessness, our limitations, and finitude. Every illness can make us glimpse death.

  11. Illness in Human Life • CCC 1501 – Illness can lead to anguish, self-absorption, sometimes even despair and revolt against God. It can also make a person more mature, helping him discern in his life what is not essential so that he can turn toward that which is. Very often illness provokes a search for God and a return to him.

  12. Illness in Human Life • CCC 1504 –Often Jesus asks the sick to believe. He makes use of signs to heal: spittle and laying on of hands, mud and washing. The sick try to touch him, for power came forth from him and healed them all. And so in the sacraments Christ continues to “touch” us in order to heal us.

  13. Illness in Human Life • CCC 1505 – On the cross Jesus took upon himself the whole weight of evil and took away the sin of the world, of which illness is only a consequence… Christ gives new meaning to suf-fering: it can configure us to him and unite us with his redemptive Passion.
