“Now there was a man full of leprosy in one of the towns where Jesus was; and when he saw Jesus, he fell prostrate, pleaded with him, and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.” Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do will it. Be made clean.” And the leprosy left him immediately (Luke 5: 12 – 13)
Through the anointing (on the hands and forehead) the grace of the Sacrament leads to the healing of the spirit, and if God wills, to a healing of the body.
