It’s not just “last rites” or something meant for people who are dying, but for anyone who seeks comfort and strength from Christ the Divine Physician.It is a sacrament of healing for the spirit and a visible sign of compassion and hope. If you are suffering serious illness or facing surgery, or if you are an elderly person whose frailty has become more pronounced, seek this uplifting sacrament from your local priest.
