In considering Jesus' special love for those suffering an illness, whether it be physical, emotional, or mental, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, serves as a powerful means of experiencing our Lord's healing compassion. Although frequently thought of the Sacrament of "Last Rites" before death, this sacrament actually goes beyond this. When you or a loved one is seriously ill, preparing for surgery, enduring severe emotional distress, or weakened from the burdens of old age, consider this sacrament for God's grace, strength and hope.
