Anointing of the sick how does it work?

[dizzy_dave]

I know if an adult is Baptized ALL their sins are washed away and forgiven. So if a person is on their death bed and let’s say they are old and not able to speak, or mentally not all there, what happens during this Sacrament of the Ainointing of the Sick?, if they can’t participate in some way, are their sins forgiven, if they don’t know what is going on?

 

[Eireann]

It’s taken from the Bible >>> James 5:14 Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him.

CCC**1532 The special grace of the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick has as its effects:

• the uniting of the sick person to the passion of Christ, for his own good and that of the whole Church;
• the strengthening, peace, and courage to endure in a Christian manner the sufferings of illness or old age;
• the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of Penance;- the restoration of health, if it is conducive to the salvation of his soul;
• the preparation for passing over to eternal life**

Canon 1005:This sacrament [anointing of the sick] is to be administered when there is a doubt whether the sick person has attained the use of reason, whether the person is dangerously ill, or whether the person is dead.

Canon 1006:This sacrament is to be conferred upon sick persons who requested it at least implicitly when they were in control of their faculties.

The canons understand that the person, while in possession of his or her faculties, would have requested the sacrament and thus would have a habitual intention to receive it.

Hence, the forgiveness of sins can be realized as the earlier post mentions from the catechism.

Yes, if it is presumed by the priest that the person would have wanted to confess if they could.

So is it plausible to say that everyone who recieves this sacrament and soon dies there after is guarnteed heaven? (not excluding some purification).

I am not stating that someone knows they are saved, but rather since their sins are forgiven, are they not in a state of race?

No one knows if you go right to heaven or not. While the sacramental prayers also bestow a plenary indulgence, we do not ever know whether the person actually receives a plenary or partial, largely due to not knowing whether they completely reject sin as one of the conditions.
