By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of the priests the whole Church commends those who are ill to the suffering and glorified Lord, that he may raise them up and save them. and indeed she exhorts them to contribute to the good of the People of God by freely uniting themselves to the Passion and death of Christ (CCC 1499).
Catechism of the Catholic Church about the Sacrament
Receiving the Sacrament
Anyone may receive the sacrament of the anointing of the sick at any time. Those suffering a serious illness or facing surgery are especially encouraged to receive this sacrament; death is not required to be imminent. Viaticum refers to the final reception of the Eucharist by those near death. It is often celebrated in conjunction with the anointing of the sick.
