Best Answer

The reason is because people expect too much that when the Sacrament of Healing is done upon them, they think that they will be physically healed instantly. This is not the main purpose of this sacrament. In fact, it is a misconception. This is a misconception because it puts a condition on Christ's victory over sickness and death. The main purpose of this sacrament is to heal the spiritual life of the person to prepare the person for death. The real healing occurs when the person realizes that no amount of sickness, pain, and suffering can overcome Christ's power.
