The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick in the Cathedral

Anointing of the sick is not a sacrament only for those who are in imminent danger of death. Therefore, it is certainly an appropriate time to receive it when a believer begins to be in danger of life, due to illness or old age. It is advisable to receive this strength in the case of a serious operation, or further deterioration of health or other frailty of life. This sacrament is received in a state of sanctifying grace; it is recommended to approach the sacrament of reconciliation before this administration.
