Day 153. What grace does God give in the anointing of the sick? (2024)

Today is day 153 and we are studying The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.

153. What grace does God give in the anointing of the sick?

God gives healing, strength, and peace, either for recovery from injury or illness, or for perseverance in adversity, especially in preparation for death. (Psalms 103:2–5; 119:49–56; Isaiah 49:13; Matthew 8:5–13; 2 Corinthians 1:3–7; 12:7–10)

We will conclude today with The Concluding Prayer for Anointing of the Sick on page 226 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
