                                        Anointing of the Sick

The Anointing of the Sick offers prayers for possible recovery, but the more important intention is to give strength to the soul of the sick person. The Church believes that the sacrament offers a special grace to calm and strengthen the spirit. This can be of great comfort in time of illness. This sacrament has its origin based on St. James’ Epistle: “Are there any sick among you? Then let them send for the priests and let the priest pray over them, anointing them with oil.” (James 4:14)

Expressly created for St. Denis Parish Community, Diocese of St. Catharines, Ontario Canada.
