Catholic AnswerOil of the Sick, and the Laying on of Hands are usually given as the two signs and symbols of the Sacrament of Healing. The following is taken directly from the Catechism concerning the Sacrament of the Sick:

.

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994

.1513 The Apostolic Constitution Sacram unctionem infirmorum, (Paul VI, apostolic constitution, Sacram unctionem infirmorum, November 30, 1972) following upon the Second Vatican Council, (Cf. Sacrosanctum concilium73) established that henceforth, in the roman Rite, the following be observed:

The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is given to those who are seriously ill by anointing them on the forehead and hands with duly blessed oil - pressed from olives or from other plants - saying, only once: "Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up." (Cf. Codex Iuris Canonici, canon 847, section 1).

The sacrament of sick is normally performed by the clergy and deacons. Oil, usually Olive oil, is poured or rubbed on the head of the afflicted, all this preceded by personal confessions with prayer in and after the ceremony.

Sacrament of the sick is anointing with physical health, continues Christ's healing ministry through the power of prayer and faith.

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.

What is the Expostion of the Blessed Sacrament?

The Blessed Sacrament is the consecrated host (circular piece of unleavened bread) which is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, second person of the Trinity. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is a ceremony during which the Blessed Sacrament is set by the priest into a monstrance for adoration. The monstrance is a blessed, golden container used to hold the Blessed Sacrament. In its center is a circular space where the Blessed Sacrament, in a glass case, is set. Around this center is gold, usually sculpted into long thin pieces that radiate like light from the center where the Blessed sacrament is. This container for the Blessed Sacrament is held upright on a golden pedestal, which is part of the monstrance. During the ceremony called Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the priest exposes the host by setting it in the monstrance, and the monstrance is set on the altar in the church. Thus people can come and kneel and adore Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, which is held exposed in the monstrance.
