Wow! Fascinating episode. Well done Fathers, really learned a lot.
Last Rites is one of the greatest blessings of being a Catholic. For a very long time, I have prayed for the blessing to receive Last Rites when I get called home to Jesus. I've also asked for St. Joseph's prayers because I read somewhere that he is the patron saint of a good death (since he would've had Mary and Jesus by his side when he died.) Whenever anointing is offered, I receive it. Who doesn't need help? We're always in some state of being the walking wounded....
Start of Last Rites discussion: 4:25
Thank you for this episode. ❤
Perhaps upon the receival of a terminal diagnosis, placement on hospice, or the start of a conversation about hospice between the family and medical professionals (i.e. Doctor, primary registered nurse, or palliative care specialist), the priest should be called also to give the last rites/other sacraments?
Thank you for the talk, Fathers.
The Church should more often bring to the consciousness of the laity our "end"... Maybe through their homilies. So that we can properly conduct ourselves in this journey towards the "end".
Thank you, thank you, thank you for pointing out the difference between Last Rites and Anointing of the Sick, and that the latter can be given for things like surgery. Didn’t know that, and I wish I had when my kids needed to go under, even for just little things like ear tubes.
Beautiful episode!
It is giving Christ.
I don't want people standing around when I make my Confession.
Im pretty sure people would be happy to step out for that part.😊 just ask them to, since you will still be able to speak your confession.
Thank-you for a beautiful and very timely explanation. God bless you.
yay! another video 🙏🏽 keep them coming
This was so holy. Thank you for this show.
Thank you for this discussion on the Last Rites. The focus on the three parts of the Rites is an important catechism for a to hear and understand. In my over twenty years of ministry as a deacon I have been with someone who is close to death many times in many
places. I pray with the dying person and those who are present. I offer viaticum and a blessing. Even though I cannot anoint or hear confession I know that my presence is an occasion of comfort and peace
Sometimes it brings physical healing
How about the Apostolic Blessing?
In Extreme Unction each of the senses is anointed.
Funny how these things go. Well, not "hahaha" funny, I guess. On January sixth, I had an early shift at the nursing home where I work. A resident was clearly having his last days, so we tried to get a priest in (note: This is in very Protestant Norway, and the old guy was an "old-school" Protestant, but he still wanted a priest. Well, over here we call "everyone" priest (or "prest"), doesn't matter if they're Protestant or Catholic or Orthodox... I think Norwegians even refer to the guy in charge of Hindu rituals at their temples a "prest", but I've only been in Norway for 14 years and I haven't learned everything, yet).
Turns out, the priest at the local parish (also the parish my workplace is named after, and the parish gives us some support, although we are mostly tax-payer funded), she was sick that day. So we had to wait until 1500 so we could call the "emergency number".
Anyway. I go home after my shift, after making it very clear to the late shift that they *must* call this number, it's a very clear wish from both our resident and his sister that a priest shows up. That was Friday, and on Sunday he passed.
Then, just last Monday, I found another of our residents dead in her bed. It was a bit of a shock. She was very much awake and right there when we gave her her morning washing, changing what needed to be changed. The day before, she had been in her bed the whole day, singing loudly (unfortunately, I couldn't make out the words or the melodies). On that Monday, she had her breakfast in bed (with a little help), and then kept on singing.
I popped in at around 1100, and see she has gone on a date with her husband (he passed a couple of years ago. Funny thing about time. It could have been 2022, it could have been 2020. Gun to my head, I couldn't tell you exactly when he moved in, nor when he left us).
Now I think I remember thinking her constant singing through my entire Sunday shift felt a little "off", like she was getting ready to move on. But I can't be sure if that's just my brain playing tricks on me, trying to construct a narrative out of entirely unrelated events.
So. Funny things (not "haha" funny) that have happened over the past couple of weeks.
What about the Apostolic Blessing? I work in a Memory Care/ Assisted Living facility. The Administration no longer asks if the person practices a religion when admitted ( asking is supposedly discrimination). I help with the with the facility's weekly Communion Service, so I know those that practice. Thanks
Extreme Unction isn't "quick"!
??Don't you need to have all the family gathered to leave the room to give the sacrament of reconciliation? How do you offer this sacrament if a patient does not have a private room in the hospital?
??We took our young child to a healing mass and he was annointed. Was that incorrect??
Can a baptized non catholic receive a blessing before death? Thankyou
A blessing, yes, but a sacrament, no
Never! Because neither a priest, nor some church sacrament can forgive your sins. Only receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour can forgive your sins! Ye must be born again (John 3:7)!
Trust Christ alone as your Saviour - not in some church or some so-called "sacraments". Religion never saved anybody, but faith in Jesus Christ can save anyone.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
