Catechism Paragraph

¶ 1510

However, the Apostolic Church has its own Rite for the Sick, attested to by St. James: "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders [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." 122 Tradition has recognized in this rite one of the seven Sacraments. 123
