These should be replaced by a sense of strength and peace. The Catholic Church finds the basis for this sacrament in the New Testament because Jesus sent out his followers to preach and heal the sick. In the New Testament book of James it says:. The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick does not promise healing.
The laying on of hands in blessing should also be part of the administration when at all possible. Because sacraments are communal celebrations of the Roman Catholic Church, it is encouraged that members of the family or other caregivers be present during the Anointing of the Sick. They may participate in the recitation of some prayers and readings included in the ritual administration of the sacrament. The questions frequently arise: who may receive the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, when and how often?
The anointing of the sick can be administered to a member of the faithful who, having reached the use of reason, begins to be in danger due to sickness or old age. This sacrament can be repeated if the sick person, having recovered, again becomes gravely ill or if the condition becomes more grave during the same illness. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is for the sick, as its name suggests. The ritual includes in this category those who are seriously ill; those undergoing surgery as a result of a serious illness; the elderly who are in a gradually deteriorating state of health, even when no serious illness is present; sick children who have sufficient use of reason, enough to know the purpose of the sacrament.
Those whose health is impaired as a result of an accident or other wound may also be anointed. It is preferable not to wait for the administration of this sacrament. Good pastoral judgment by the priest, in consultation with medical professionals and family, is always in order. It may be administered to those who are truly sick who, when otherwise in control of their mental faculties, would ordinarily have requested it.
Sacraments are given to those who are properly disposed to receive them. The Code of Canon Law states. Much care and good pastoral judgment should be exercised here. If a person has lived a life publicly in contradiction to the practice of the Roman Catholic faith or that is continuously in a public state of sin without any sign of repentance, he or she would not be a suitable candidate for reception of this sacrament.
Often the divorced and remarried may have repented of past sins but are unable to quit the second invalid union due to moral obligations to spouse and children. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is not given to those who are already or certainly dead. Rather than simulating the sacrament in such cases, the priest should, instead, offer prayers for the dead such as those contained in the ritual books and provide consolation and comfort to family members and friends who may be present when he is called to their side.
This sacrament may be repeated whenever the need arises and the circumstances warrant it such as when a sick person shows signs of recovery but then falls back into a precarious or dangerous condition of health. Good pastoral judgment should govern repeated administration of the sacrament. It is a sacrament of healing and hope for the sick and a moment of sacramental grace and hope to accompany those who are dying on their final journey.
