The Anointing Of The Sick | Paul Meyendorff

The healing ministry of Jesus Christ is considered a key mission of the Church. 'The Anointing Of The Sick' zooms in on how the Church carries out this ministry through Scripture, Tradition, and liturgical practices, especially through the sacrament of the anointing of the sick. Meyendorff delves into the history and theology behind this sacrament, which traces its origins to the teachings of the Church, particularly James 5:14-15. This passage emphasizes the role of church elders in praying over the sick and anointing them with oil, leading to healing and forgiveness of sins.
