The Catholic sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is a rite where a priest anoints a seriously ill, elderly, or dying person with blessed oil to provide spiritual and sometimes physical healing.   It grants the sick person special grace, uniting their suffering with Christ's, and provides comfort, peace, courage, and the forgiveness of sins if they cannot confess.   The rite includes prayers, a laying on of hands by a priest, and anointing with oil.    - AI
