'Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven" (Jas 5:14-15).
The special grace of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick has as its effects: unity with the Passion of Christ, strength, peace, courage, forgiveness of sins, restoration of health, and preparation for entering eternal life.
