Help Anointing of the sick (bot)

The Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of the Catholic Church that is administered to those who are seriously ill or in danger of death. It is also commonly known as the "Last Rites" or "Extreme Unction."

This sacrament is intended to comfort and strengthen the person who is ill, both physically and spiritually, and to bring them closer to God. The anointing is performed by a priest, who prays over the person and anoints them with holy oils.

The anointing of the sick is not only for those who are dying, but also for those who are facing serious illness or surgery. It is meant to provide physical and emotional healing, as well as spiritual strength.

The sacrament is often accompanied by the reception of the Eucharist (Communion), which is also an important source of spiritual nourishment for those who are ill. The Anointing of the Sick is a powerful reminder of God's love and care for us, even in our times of greatest need.
