Catholic Introduction OCIA Session 12 Anointing of the Sick (https://www.smartguy.com/) Welcome back, friends. By now, we’ve explored the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist), the sacrament of healing through Reconciliation, and the sacraments of service (Marriage and Holy Orders). Today we continue with another sacrament of healing: Anointing of the Sick. This sacrament often carries misunderstanding. Many people call it “Last Rites,” as if the only time you receive it is when you’re on your deathbed. But that’s not true. The Anointing of the Sick is meant to bring comfort, peace, and strength to anyone seriously ill, preparing for surgery, facing weakness due to age, or in need of spiritual healing. It’s not the “goodbye sacrament.” It’s the God-is-with-you sacrament.
