SZYMON DRZYŻDŻYK understanding of the sacrament as well as the subject.94 It was noted that the whole Church is responsible to care about providing this sacrament, which is stated in another conciliar document: „ By the sacred anointing of the sick and the prayer of her priests the whole Church commends the sick to the suffering and glorified Lord, asking that He may lighten their suffering and save them;(James 5:14-15) she exhorts them, moreover, to contribute to the welfare of the whole people of God by associating themselves freely with the passion and death of Christ (Rom; 8:17; Col 1:24; Tim 2:11-12; Pet 4:13).“95 In preparing the new rite, as notes the Constitution, it was necessary to take into account the existing resolutions This serves to better adapt to our times these elements, which are subject to change Therefore, it was decided to change the formula, in some cases the matter and simplify the whole rite As we read further in the text of the Constitution: „Therefore, since this revision in certain point’s touches upon the sacramental rite itself, by our Apostolic authority we lay down that the following is to be observed for the future in the Latin Rite: The Sacrament of the Anointing o the Sick is administered to those who are dangerously ill, by anointing them on the forehead and hands with olive oil, or if opportune, with another vegetable oil, properly blessed, and saying once only the following words: „Per istam sanctam unctionem et suam piissimam misericordiam adiuvet te dominus gratia spiritus sancti, ut a peccatis liberatum te salvet atque propitius alleviet.“ In an emergency the manner of administering the sacrament specifies that there is ​​only one of anointing on the forehead or given the particular situation of the patient on another more suitable part of the body, pronouncing the entire formula The same new ordinances prepared by the Congregation for Divine Worship were approved It was also determined that up to 31 December 1973 former rite could be used but from January 1974 all will have to use the new rite The new rite of anointing of the sick was included in the appropriate liturgical book entitled Ordo Unctionis infirmorum eorumque pastoralis curae containing the typical form The Polish Episcopal Conference issued an adapted form in the book entitled Sakramenty chorych Obrzędy i duszpasterstwo.96 It consists essentially of seven chapters, which were preceded by Praenotanda – Introduction of theological and pastoral: 94 95 96 38 SC 73 LG 11 This book, however, was finally approved by the Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship, 15 December 1977, by decree of the Conference of the Polish Episcopate of 25 March 1978, the Polish text was put into print and published in The Book of St Jack the beginning of 1979 officially in force from April 1980
