Sacraments of Healing

The Sacraments of Healing—Reconciliation (Confession) and Anointing of the Sick—are ways the Church offers spiritual and physical renewal. Reconciliation helps believers confess sins, receive forgiveness, and reconcile with God and the community, bringing peace and inner healing. Anointing of the Sick provides comfort, strength, and spiritual healing to those facing illness, danger, or aging, and can also bring physical strength and peace. Both sacraments focus on restoring wholeness—spiritually and emotionally—when individuals face life's hardships, emphasizing God's mercy and care during times of vulnerability.
