“Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith save the sick man…” (James 5:14-15a)
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is given to people who are seriously ill. This sacrament is not only for those persons who are near death. If someone receives this sacrament and recovers, they are able to receive the sacrament again in case of a grave illness in the future.
