Since Vatican Council II, this sacrament has been renamed the Anointing of the Sick and has been broadened to offer healing and comfort to the sick. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick gives strength and support and can be administered to any Catholic . You can ask for anointing of the sick whenever you are in need of strengthening, but especially when: Undergoing surgery Struggling with chronic or serious illness Coping with mental illness Growing older and feeling weaker even though no illness is present Members of Our Lady of Lourdes who are seriously ill or scheduled for surgery.
