I. Its Foundations in the Economy of Salvation

However, the apostolic Church has its own rite for the sick, attested to by St.
James: “Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders [presbyters] of
the Church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of
the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will
raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be
forgiven.”122 Tradition has recognized in this rite one of the
seven sacraments.123
