I. Its Foundations in the Economy of Salvation

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1512
From ancient times in the liturgical traditions of both East and West, we have
testimonies to the practice of anointings of the sick with blessed oil. Over
the centuries the Anointing of the Sick was conferred more and more exclusively
on those at the point of death. Because of this it received the name
“Extreme Unction.” Notwithstanding this evolution the liturgy has never
failed to beg the Lord that the sick person may recover his health if it would
be conducive to his salvation.¹²⁵
