ANOINTING OF THE SICK ON HOLY WEDNESDAY
The General Anointing of the Sick is done for all baptized Christians present at the Liturgy of Presanctified Gifts on Holy Wednesday. If there are two blessings, the first blessings is done at the end of The Litany of Peace and the second is after the Litany of Supplication. If more than one priest is present the people should be anointed by each of the priests present, up to seven priests in total. The Prayer of Anointing is said first for all present, then each is anointed on the forehead, cheeks and palm of the hands with the formula, “The servant of God is anointed for the healing of soul and body, for the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting.” This is the one time each year that this Mystery (Sacrament) is provided to all the faithful in attendance and forgives all sins so that even one who has not “gone to confession” is now freed from sin and if the person remains free from sin, is free to receive of the Eucharist, the Holy Body and Blood of Christ.
