13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone in good spirits? He should sing praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord, 15 and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

Pretend to be a Priest, and ANOINT the Sick Desk. HOW?

7. How to Anoint?
First, lay your hand on the sick Desk’s head in silence.
Then dip your thumb in the oil of the sick and anoint the Desk’s forehead, saying “Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in His love and mercy, help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

8. Then anoint the Desk’s right palm, saying “May the Lord, Who frees you from sin…”
Then anoint the Desk’s left palm, saying “…save you and raise you up. Amen.”
