What is the Anointing of the Sick?

Illness, suffering, and death are some of the greatest problems we face as humans. Physical illness can sometimes lead to a turning away from God. But Jesus wants to be with us in our suffering so he gave the Church the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Sometimes, we are physically healed if that is the will of God and will bring us closer to him. But most importantly, God offers us grace to strengthen us in illness and the priest can pray with us on behalf of the Church, in the midst of our suffering.

👇 ABOUT 👇
We believe the Catechism is not a textbook, a collection of ideas, or a set of rules. We believe it is the faithful echo of a God who desires to reveal himself to us. The mission of Real+True is to retransform the catechism into a living voice for the modern world. We’re creating videos, stories, animations, podcasts, to unpack and unlock the catechism of the catholic church for the modern world. All these videos are free, and translated into multiple languages for the world.

Real+True is a project of OSV under the patronage of the Holy See and supported by people who join our mission.
