ARTÍCULO 5 LA UNCION DE LOS ENFERMOS #220

I. FUNDAMENTOS EN LA ECONOMÍA DE LA

SALVACIÓN Un sacramento de los enfermos

La constitución apostólica “Sacram Unctionem Infirmo-rum” del 30 de noviembre de 1972, de conformidad con el Concilio Vaticano II, estableció que, en adelante, en el rito romano, se observara lo que sigue:

El sacramento de la Unción de los enfermos se administra a los gravemente enfermos ungiéndolos en la frente y en las manos con aceite de oliva debidamen te bendecido o, según las circunstancias, con otro aceite de plantas, y pronunciando una sola vez estas palabras: Per istam sanctam unctionem et suam piissimam misericordiam adiuvet te Dominus gratia Spiritus Sancti, ut a peccatis liberatum te salvet atque propitius allevet ("Por esta santa unción, y por su bondadosa misericordia te ayude el Señor con la gracia del Espíritu Santo, para que, libre de tus pecados, te conceda la salvación y te conforte en tu enfermedad”).

II. QUIÉN RECIBE Y QUIÉN ADMINISTRA ESTE SA-CRAMENTO

En caso de grave enfermedad …

La Unción de los enfermos "no es un sacramento sólo para aquellos que están a punto de morir. Por eso, se considera tiempo oportuno para recibirlo cuando el fiel empieza a estar en peligro de muerte por enfermedad o vejez".

Si un enfermo que recibió la unción recupera la salud, puede, en caso de nueva enfermedad grave, recibir de nuevo este sacramento. En el curso de la misma enfer-medad, el sacramento puede ser reiterado si la enferme-dad se agrava. Es apropiado recibir la Unción de los en-fermos antes de una operación importante. Y esto mis-mo puede aplicarse a las personas de edad avanzada cuyas fuerzas se debilitan.

“…llame a los presbíteros de la Iglesia"

Solo los sacerdotes (obispos y presbíteros) son ministros de la Unción de los enfermos. Es deber de los pastores instruir a los fieles sobre los beneficios de este sacra-mento. Los fieles deben animar a los enfermos a llamar al sacerdote para recibir este sacramento. Y que los en-fermos se preparen para recibirlo en buenas disposicio-nes, con la ayuda de su pastor y de toda la comunidad eclesial a la cual se invita a acompañar muy especial-mente a los enfermos con sus oraciones y sus atencio-nes fraternas. Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica Fr. Albeiro

ARTICLE 5 THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK #220

I. ITS FOUNDATIONS IN THE ECONOMY OF

SALVATION A sacrament of the sick The Apostolic Constitution Sacram unctionem in-firmorum, following upon the Second Vatican Coun-cil, established that henceforth, in the Roman Rite, the following be observed:

The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is given to those who are seriously ill by anointing them on the forehead and hands with duly blessed oil - pressed from olives or from other plants - saying, only once: "Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up."

II. WHO RECEIVES AND WHO ADMINISTERS THIS SACRAMENT? In case of grave illness . . . The Anointing of the Sick "is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived." If a sick person who received this anointing recovers his health, he can in the case of another grave illness receive this sacrament again. If during the same ill-ness the person's condition becomes more serious, the sacrament may be repeated. It is fitting to receive the Anointing of the Sick just prior to a serious opera-tion. The same holds for the elderly whose frailty be-comes more pronounced. " . . . let him call for the presbyters of the Church" Only priests (bishops and presbyters) are ministers of the Anointing of the Sick. It is the duty of pastors to instruct the faithful on the benefits of this sacrament. The faithful should encourage the sick to call for a priest to receive this sacrament. The sick should pre-pare themselves to receive it with good dispositions, assisted by their pastor and the whole ecclesial com-munity, which is invited to surround the sick in a spe-cial way through their prayers and fraternal attention.
