From the Desk of Monsignor Carruthers Among the various pastoral responsibilities given to St. Augustine Church and Catholic Stu-dent Center are two hospitals and a major nursing home. Many volunteers bring the Holy Eucharist to those who are sick and unable to attend mass – at the hospitals and nursing homes as well as to those confined in their own homes. Often the priests of the parish are called to celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation and, most often, the sacrament of the anointing of the sick (both of which can only be celebrated by a priest) with those in homebound and those in hospitals and nursing homes. In my five years here some of the most moving pastoral experiences have occured on such visits. People in such situations are often very aware of what is important and what is not. Sometimes they struggle before that reality, but they are open to it. And where there is openness, there is space for the Spirit to move. I would like to share a few words about the beautiful sacrament of the anointing of the sick.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us that “illness and suffering have always been among the gravest problems confronted in human life. In illness, man experiences his powerlessness, his limitations, and his finitude. Every illness can make us glimpse death. Illness can lead to anguish, self-absorption, sometimes even despair and revolt against God. It can also make a person more mature, helping him discern in his life what is not essential so that he can turn to that which is. Very often illness provokes a search for God and a return to him” (CCC 1500-1501).

Jesus Christ is the Spiritual Physician. He meets the sick and takes on their misery, encourages them toward faith, and bestows upon them compassion. His priestly ministry as Spiritual Physician continues in the Church through the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. This sacrament is alluded to in the Gospel of Mark and is more explicitly explained in the Letter of James. Those Christians experiencing grave illness can receive this sacrament. “The Anointing of the Sick ‘is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive the sacrament has certainly already arrived.’ If a sick person who has received this anointing recovers his health, he can, in the case of another grave illness receive this sacrament again. . . It is fitting to receive the Anointing of the Sick just prior to a serious operation. The same holds true for the elderly whose frailty has become more pronounced” (CCC 1514-1516).

The phrase “Last Rites” is often applied today to the sacrament of the anointing of the sick, giving the erroneous impression that it is only for the moment of death. “From ancient times in the liturgical traditions of both East and West, we have testimonies to the practice of the anointings of the sick with blessed oil. Over the centuries the Anointing of the Sick was conferred more and more exclusively on those at the point of death. Because of this it received the name ‘Extreme Unction.’ Notwithstanding this evolution the liturgy has never failed to beg the Lord that the sick person may recover if it would be conducive to his salvation” (CCC 1512). While the sacrament can, of course, be administered at the hour of death, it is not necessary, nor is it best for practical and pastoral reasons, to wait to that moment to celebrate the sacrament. The “Last Sacrament” of the Church is actually Viaticum, which means “food for the journey,” the last reception of communion. This implies, of course, that the person is conscious, alert, and able to receive through the mouth. “Communion in the body and blood of Christ, received at this moment of ‘passing over’ to the Father, has a particular significance and importance. It is the seed of eternal life and the power of resurrection, according to the words of the Lord: ‘He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day’” (CCC 1524).

It is good, when possible, to plan ahead in scheduling celebrations of Viaticum and of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. There are both practical and human reasons for this. An example of the practical: on days when I am the only priest in the parish, if a hospital call comes in at noon and I am scheduled to celebrate the 12:05 p.m. mass, I will not be able to go to the hospital until after the mass. If people have waiting until the moment of death to ask for the Anointing of the Sick, the short length of time needed to celebrate the mass and get to the hospital is not enough. An example of the human: it is beautiful and deeply moving to celebrate the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick when the person being anointed is fully conscious and family members can be present. The same is true for celebrating Viaticum. The healing graces celebrated shower upon all present. Let us be open to the healing graces of God, and celebrate them with faith.

The prayer said by the priest after administering the anointing says: “Father in heaven, through this holy anointing grant our brother/sister comfort in his/her suffering. When he/she is afraid, give him/her courage, when afflicted, give him/her patience, when dejected, afford him/her hope, and when alone, assure him/her of the support of your holy people. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
