CCC 1514

The Anointing of the Sick "is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived."¹²⁹ SC 73; cf. CIC, Cann. 1004 # 1; 1005; 1007; CCEOCCEO — Codex Canonum Ecclesiarum Orientalium (Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches), Can. 738.
