There is no occassion in life when a person stands more in need of God's assistance and consolation than when his soul is about to take its flight into eternity. Saint James speaks of this sacrament in the New Testament plainly: "Is any one among you sick? Let him bring in presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him." (James 5,14-5). The Sacrament is called "Annointing" because it is conferred through the unction of the sick person and is the last of several annointings the Christian receives in the course of his life, since he previousley received anointings in Baprism and Confirmation, and if he is a priest or a bishop at Ordination.
This sacrament is intended to comfort the soul in distress that normally accompanies weakened bodily powers; hence, it can be given only to one who is in danger of death from some cause actually afflicting his body. Worthily received, this sacrament confers noticeable strength of soul and courage on the sick person and forgiveness of venial sins. Sometimes it produces restoration to bodily health. In every Catholic household there should be available all that is necessary for the ceremonies of the last sacraments when the priests comes--particulalry, two blessed candles, a crucifix, holy water, and some cotton.
