Anointing of the sick
The Anointing of the sick is a sacrament that brings spiritual strength and forgiveness to those who are seriously ill, preparing them to unite their suffering with Christ and, if necessary, to face death with hope.

Illness can lead to anguish, self-absorption, sometimes even despair and revolt against God. It can also make a person more mature, helping him discern in his life what is not essential so that he can turn toward that which is. Very often illness provokes a search for God and a return to him.
By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. And indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ.
“It is good to know that in the moment of suffering and of sickness that we are not alone.” – Pope Francis
