La teología de la resurrección del „óleum infirmorum”
Resurrectional theology of oil of the sick

Summary/Abstract: Among the serious problems that influences the human life at least sickness and pain. For this reason, a person who suffers and also in front of his impending death, can feel anxiety, depression, up until the rebellion against God (cf. CCC 1500 – 1501). The Church, by command of the Resurrected Crist, offers therefore a heavenly medicine, meaning the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick with the oil blessed olive oil by which Christ, he may supportand saves the Sick (cf. c. 998 in CCL). Therefore the óleum infirmorum itself, meaning, the matter of this Paschal Unction consists in itself the seal of revival, of ease (εγερει) and ‒ultimately ‒ of the Resurrection on what the Apostle James says (cf. Jas 5,14 – 15). For this saving gesture, that at the same time asks faith in the grace of God, in the path of sicknessarises the star of hope and suffering – although it does not leave the meaning of suffering – it is converted to a song of praise (Benedict XVI). The entire rite of the Sacrament of raise(állevet) up (cf. Ordo Unctionis Infirmorum Eorumque Pastoralis Curae 76) that at the same time much of the history presents a lot of ways of celebration and receives also a variety of names ‒ from extrema unctio to unctio infirmorum (Vatican Council II) ‒ it permits today determine as a gran and careful task of comforting man made for God in His Church, task done for the sick by the Paschal Oil. Nonetheless, this ecclesial mission must be responsible and permanently supported catechesis (Msgr. Jacek Jezierski).
