Laying on of Hands for the sick

Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.
—James 5:14 NRSV

Laying on of Hands for the Sick

Any who are sick or face spiritual challenges may ask for this special prayer of blessing. This sacrament opens the door to the gift of healing. Ministers anoint the head of the person with olive oil (see James 5:13–15) and pray for God’s grace and blessing.
