Anointing of the Sick

"The present study aims at the analysis of the canons on the Anointing of the Sick contained in both the Latin and Eastern Codes. Major emphasis is placed on Tradition in order that the reader may readily appreciate the canons as the fruit of twenty centuries of faith and wisdom. While deeply rooted in Scripture and Tradition, the Church expresses its faith in a perpetual process of crystallization and precision." [Introduction].
