| | Anointing of the Sick |
| | The sacrament of anointing is to be conferred on sick people who, although they have lost consciousness or the use of reason have, as Christian believers, at least implicitly asked for it when they were in control of the their faculties. | | | The celebration of this sacrament consists especially in the laying on of hands by the priests of the Church, the offering of the prayer of faith, and the anointing of the sick with oil made holy by God's blessing. | | | ...the faithful should be educated to ask for the sacrament of anointing and, as soon as the right time comes, to receive it with full faith and devotion. |
