Summary
The Anointing of the Sick is not just for those on the verge of death but for any faithful suffering from a grave illness. Fr. Mike explains that because of this, we don’t have to put this sacrament off to the very end; instead, we can enjoy the graces it confers as often as is fitting throughout a lifetime. This section also discusses how we can celebrate the Anointing of the Sick. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1514-1519.

| 1:09.9 | for the sick, pray for healing, but also to be willing to take up our cross and follow after Jesus. |
| 1:16.0 | And this is this there's something powerful about both of those things. There's something |
| 1:21.7 | so powerful about a willingness to say, yeah, I'm going to pray for healing. So I'm going to trust |
