Many people are scared or misunderstand the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. But this sacrament shouldn’t scare you. Instead, this sacrament should be a comfort because through this sacrament God offers us grace and strength in our time of illness.The Church is aware that, “illness can provoke different responses depending on the reaction of the individual. It can lead to anguish, self-absorption, sometimes even despair and revolt against God.” (CCC 1501) So the Church generously gives us the Anointing of the Sick, to receive before a surgery, extended hospital stay, or in times of serious illness.
