病人傅油 What is the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick?
病人傅油聖事是天主教、東正教和一些新教教會的聖事。
這聖事的舊稱臨終聖事或終傅聖事由12世紀末起在西方天主教會使用，直到梵蒂岡第二屆大公會議廢止。
病人傅油聖事依據的主要聖經經文為「你們中間有患病的嗎？他該請教會的長老們來；他們該為他祈禱，因主的名給他傅油：出於信德的祈禱，必救那病人，主必使他起來；並且如果他犯了罪，也必得蒙赦免。」（雅各伯書5章14,15節）
這聖事給予病人屬靈的幫助和安慰，並完好的屬靈健康，包括因為病重信徒的罪得赦免。天主教會基督徒認為，有的時候聖事會帶來奇蹟治愈。
傅油的意思是以油塗抹，所使用是橄欖油。在天主教會，通常這油（病人油，oleum infirmorum）已由主教在聖週四的聖油彌撒中祝聖。
這聖事可以為個人需要進行，也可以集體進行。天主教堂區通常一年會舉行一至兩次集體的病人傅油聖事，而這多是在彌撒中舉行。
如果這聖事是為個人的話，司鐸會在簡短儀式中施行，如果時間環境許可會舉行簡短禮儀。病人傅油聖事經常與其他聖事一同施行，如懺悔禮和領聖體。若果沒有即時生命危險，其次序是懺悔禮，傅油禮，然後領聖體。司鐸也可能會施行使徒赦罪(Apostolic Pardon，奉教宗名義施行)，尤其是有生命危險的病人。
現時病人傅油聖事由司鐸主持。司鐸以已祝聖的油在病人的額頭畫十字，並唸：「藉此神聖傅油，願無限仁慈的主，以聖神的恩寵助佑你」然後又以油在病人手掌畫十字，並唸：「他既赦免你的罪，願他拯救你，使你振作起來。」
The Anointing of the Sick is given to the sick and those who are about to depart from this life. This Sacrament unites the suffering of an ill person with that of Christ. It enables forgiveness of their sins, comfort in their suffering, and restores the spirit. For the dying person, the sacrament is for the preparation for the passing over to eternal life.
The Sacrament is administered by a priest or bishop. A penitential rite followed by the Liturgy of the Word opens the celebration. Scripture awakens the faith of the sick and family members and friends to pray to Christ for the strength of his Holy Spirit. The priest lays his hands on the head of the sick person. He then proceeds to anoint, with the blessed Oil of the Sick, the forehead and hands of the sick person (in the Roman Rite). He accompanies these acts with the words, “Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up” (CCC, no. 1513) Holy Communion may be offered to the dying person.
