Is this what they do in the catholic church called annointing of the sick? found in mk. 6,012-13?

Answer 1

Jas. 5:14–15

The anointing of the sick is administered to bring spiritual and physical strength during an illness, especially near the time of death. It is most likely one of the last sacraments one will receive. A sacrament is an outward sign established by Jesus Christ to confer inward grace. In more basic terms, it is a rite that is performed to convey God’s grace to the recipient, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Like all the sacraments, holy anointing was instituted by Jesus Christ during his earthly ministry. The Catechism explains, "This sacred anointing of the sick was instituted by Christ our Lord as a true and proper sacrament of the New Testament. It is alluded to indeed by Mark, but is recommended to the faithful and promulgated by James the apostle and brother of the Lord" (CCC 1511; Mark 6:13; Jas. 5:14-15).

The anointing of the sick conveys several graces and imparts gifts of strengthening in the Holy Spirit against anxiety, discouragement, and temptation, and conveys peace and fortitude (CCC 1520). These graces flow from the atoning death of Jesus Christ, for "this was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, ‘He took our infirmities and bore our diseases’" (Matt. 8:17).

Mark refers to the sacrament when he recounts how Jesus sent out the twelve disciples to preach, and "they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them" (Mark 6:13). In his epistle, James says, "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 will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven" (Jas. 5:14–15).

Answer 2

Kind of. But it is more like this:

"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the 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 has committed sins, he will be forgiven" (James 5:14-15).

This sacrament is now called the Anointing of the Sick and a person does not have to be dying to receive it. It is no longer called the "Last Rites" and "Extreme Unction,"

Any one physically or mentally ill, aged and infirm, or about to receive surgery can receive this sacrament of healing.

The liturgical actions in the Anointing of the Sick include the following principal elements:
+ Scripture is read.
+ The priests of the Church in silence lay hands on the sick.
+ They pray over them in the faith of the Church
+ They anoint them with oil blessed by the bishop.

The effects of the Anointing of the sick are:
- 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

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

It is also discussed clearly in the book of James (5:14-15).

"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 will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven"

This is essentially what happens during the Catholic sacrament of Extreme Unction or Annointing of the Sick.

Answer 4

Years ago it was called Extreme Unction, a sacrement. However they now call it Sacrement of the Sick. It is anointing with oils and praying for someone who is likely close to death.

Answer 5

What they do is Excommunion and Exorcism.

Answer 6

No, No, No, you have it all wrong.

That is the job of the altar boy....
