IV. The Effects of the Celebration of This Sacrament
1520
A particular gift of the Holy Spirit. the first grace of this sacrament is one
of strengthening, peace and courage to overcome the difficulties that go with
the condition of serious illness or the frailty of old age. This grace is a
gift of the Holy Spirit, who renews trust and faith in God and strengthens
against the temptations of the evil one, the temptation to discouragement and
anguish in the face of death.134 This assistance from the Lord by the
power of his Spirit is meant to lead the sick person to healing of the soul,
but also of the body if such is God’s will.135 Furthermore, “if he
has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”136
