Yes it does. The most explicit reference comes from the Letter of St. James: - “Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders 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.” There is also the work of the apostles, when Jesus sent them out “two by two”: - “And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. So they went out and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.” In both cases, the apostles and elders of the Church heal by anointing the sick with oil, which is what takes place in our sacrament. Paul healed a man of fever and dysentery by laying his hands on the sick man (cf. Acts 28:8), which is an important part of the sacrament as well. The fact is, “many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles” (Acts 5:12), and one of these was the power to heal the sick (cf. Acts 5:15-16; 8:7; 19:11-12). Note however that the benefit is not always physical. Since God does not always desire that we be cured of our infirmities, He also gave the apostles the power to strengthen the sick spiritually. So, we often see that, along with physical healings was also the casting out of demons (cf. Mk 6:13; Acts 5:16; 8:7) and the forgiveness of sins (Jas 5:14-15). Similarly, in the sacrament, the sick person may not be physically healed by the action of the priest, but he is always given the grace to persevere with courage, to unite his pain with that of our crucified Lord, and to resist the devil, who tempts us in our deepest suffering to renounce our faith in God. The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is an amazing gift to anyone, young or old, who begins to be in danger of death. Pax Christi, phatcatholic

Bolesničko pomazanje I sakrament bolesničkog pomazanja pronalazi svoje utemeljenje u Svetom pismu. Sam je Krist liječio bolesne, a tu je snagu prenio i na svoje apostole. Oni su po Kristovu nalogu “mazali uljem i ozdravljali mnoge nemoćnike” (Mk 6,13). Jakov piše u svojoj poslanici: “Boluje !i tko medu vama? Neka dozove starješine (prezbitere, svećenike) Crkve! Oni neka mole nad njim, mažući ga uljem u ime Gospodnje, pa će molitva vjere spasiti nemoćnika; Gospodin će ga podići, i ako je sagriješio, oprostit će mu se” (Jak 5.14-15). Od najranijih početaka Crkve postoji praksa podjeljivanja sakramenta bolesničkog pomazanja. Bolest pogađa čitavog čovjeka, njegovu dušu, duh i tijelo. U tim okolnostima potrebno nam je ohrabrenje da nas Bog i ljudi nisu napustili,da bolest nije kazna već kušnja kako bi se dokazale kreposti bolesnika i onih koji ga okružuju. Bolesničko pomazanje svojim sakramentalnim znakom govori da Bog ne želi čovjeka prepustiti bolesti i nevolji , već mu nudi dostatni znak spasenja. Sakrament prvenstveno ima cilj osnažiti duh bolesnog čovjeka, želi osnažiti vjeru bolesnog čovjeka u uskrslog Krista, tako da može lakše podnositi patnje i opasnosti koje mu prijete. Naravno, ukoliko je Božja volja, cilj sakramenta može biti i tjelesno ozdravljenje. Kod podjeljenja bolesničkog pomazanja svećenik najprije poškropi prisutne svetom vodom kao znak obnove krštenja, zatim bolesnik prima sakrament pomirenja, te nakon toga bolesničko pomazanje. Na kraju dolazi sveta pričest kao popudbina. Tako posljednji sakrament nije bolesničko pomazanje već pričest koja primanjem Tijela Kristova daje duhovnu snagu bolesniku.
