Content: This sacrament is confined to those who are critically sick, and who seek the blessing of Jesus to be healed through the forgiveness of sins. This sacrament is conducted by a priest who anoints the person with the blessed oil. He anoints usually on the forehead and hands; however, the place of anointment may change depending upon the nature of sickness. For example, if the illness is related to the sight, then the eyes are anointed. The usage of oil was also administered by the disciples of Christ to heal the sick and cast out demons. HOLY ORDERS
Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. ― Timothy 4:14 (English Standard Version)
Also known as the Ordination, this is the first of the sacrament of service. Although all those who are believers in Christ share the responsibility to serve others in need, there are some who are called by the Almighty to be ordained and fully commit themselves to the service of others under the authority of Christ. Holy Orders include men that are ordained as priests, deacons, or bishops.
