Only priests (bishops and presbyters) are ministers of the Anointing of the Sick.130
It is the duty of pastors to instruct the faithful on the benefits of this
sacrament. the faithful should encourage the sick to call for a priest to
receive this sacrament. the sick should prepare themselves to receive it with
good dispositions, assisted by their pastor and the whole ecclesial community,
which is invited to surround the sick in a special way through their prayers
and fraternal attention.
