Day 351: Draw Near to God (2024)

1349.996 - 1366.407 Fr. Mike Schmitz

Let him call for the elders. The word there is presbyteroi, for as we get priests from, call 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 person and the Lord will raise him up. If he's committed any sins, he'll be forgiven. So that's the kind of the origin of the sacrament of anointing of the sick.
