The anointing of the sick is an act of bring a spiritual and physical strength to a person who is ill, specifically it is assiosated with those who are near the time of death. Christian community who celebrates the Sacrament of Anointing testifies the catholic faith and that God is always present in the midst of a suffering event. It is hard to understand God's presence, yet the sacrament is exposed to hope that he or she will be spirtually healed by God and be lifted to heaven and Christ.

Anointing of the sick is a sacrament institution and holy anointed was instituted by Jesus Christ.  The Anointing of the Sick is to offer prayers for possible recoveries along with a more important intention to give spiritual and physical strength. The anointing of the sick strengthens the Holy Spirit from anxiety and discouragement.

Normally the priest would pour oil on the head of the person being anointed and is preceded through by confessing personal confessions with a prayer and after the ceremony. The sacrament of the Sick is anointed then continues to pray for the anointed with oil over them.

Jesus suffered greatly in his life on earth. His message was not

understood, and he ultimately died the death of a criminal under the Roman government.Like every human being, he dreaded suffering. We see him in the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22:39–45), "The special grace of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick has as its effects: the uniting of the sick person to the passion of Christ, for his own good and that of the whole Church; the strengthening, peace, and courage to endure in a Christian manner the sufferings of illness or old age; the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of penance; the restoration of health, if it is conducive to the salvation of his soul; the preparation for passing over to eternal life" (CCC 1532)

It is a sacrament for one to receive when they are near death and it is most likely one of the last sacraments one will receive. It is not a sacrament for only those who are about to perish away to heaven. It is a sacrament for those who are in danger of sickness and old age.
