Anointing of the Sick

Bringing God’s healing, strength, and comfort to those who are ill or in need of spiritual care.

At Tahanan Madrid, we compassionately accompany individuals and families through moments of illness, suffering, and recovery. Through the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, the Church offers prayer, grace, healing, and spiritual strength to those facing physical or emotional hardship.

About the Sacrament

The Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament of healing administered to those who are seriously ill, elderly, preparing for surgery, or experiencing physical or emotional suffering.

Through the anointing with holy oil and the prayers of the priest, the faithful receive:

  • Spiritual strength and peace

  • Comfort in times of suffering

  • God’s grace and healing

  • Courage to endure illness and recovery

This sacrament reminds us that Christ remains close to those who suffer and carries them with love and compassion.
