The sacrament of anointing the sick is one of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church. This sacrament is related to the act of sanctification which is the duty of the Church, as well as serving the sick. In the practice of administering this sacrament, Catholics often have the wrong understanding that this sacrament causes sick people to die. In addition, some Catholics do not fully understand the meaning of this sacrament in their faith life. This research seeks to correct this erroneous understanding, while at the same time providing a complete understanding with adequate explanation. The research method used was library research with a descriptive analysis approach based on a juris-canonical review of the 1983 Code of Canon Law. It is hoped that the results of this research will bring about changes in the understanding of Catholics who misinterpret this sacrament as the cause of death for sick people.
