Anointing of the sick

The Sacrament Anointing of the Sick has been known by four different names throughout history:

  • Last Rites
  • Extreme Unction
  • Viaticum
  • Anointing of the Sick 

The Sacrament is really about what God wants to do in us and through us and for us in this wonderful encounter.

It tells us that God is love, and love is always oriented toward healing and wholeness. Sickness is not part of God’s will for humanity. Sickness and death came into the world with sin. If we face illness, God walks with us every step of the way, and sustains us and strengthens us with the Sacraments and through the love and concern of the Church, family, friends and health care professionals.
