Among the seven sacraments, the Anointing of the Sick is especially intended to strengthen those who are ill. While the Sacrament serves to comfort the dying, it is not only for those at the point of death. It is also intended to help the chronically ill and the elderly who are in a weakened condition. Children who are seriously ill or facing major surgery can be anointed. The sacrament can be administered more than once even during the same illness if a person’s condition becomes more serious. Don't wait until your loved one is on the point of death. Give them the gift of this strengthening sacrament!
