The celebration of the sacrament includes the following principal elements: the "priests of the Church" - in silence - lay hands on the sick; they pray over them in the faith of the Church - this is the epiclesis proper to this sacrament; they then anoint them with oil blessed, if possible, by the bishop.

Anointing of the Sick is usually referred to as the sacrament of the sick. The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick gives grace for the state into which people enter through sickness. Through the sacrament is given a gift of the Holy Spirit that renews confidence and faith in God and strengthens against temptations to discouragement, despair and anguish at the thought of death and the struggle of death; it prevents from losing Christian hope in God's justice, truth and salvation. : 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
