ANOINTING OF THE SICK – YES!

“LAST RITES” – NO!

Well, I said last week that the series on the New Roman Missal would continue thru mid-September unless something more “timely or pressing” came up. And so it did at Wednesday Adult Formation the week before last as we reflected on the Sacrament of the Sick, commonly known as the Anointing of the Sick. Our discus-sion revealed how often this sacrament is misunderstood even to-day—more than fifty years after a Vatican II decree revised the rites surrounding this sacrament which was once known by the distress-ing name of Extreme Unction.

But the fact is that it wasn’t Vatican II which inaugurated a new un-derstanding of this sacrament but actually the Council of Trent four centuries earlier. That historic council taught that “the effect of the sacrament is not simply the forgiveness of sins in preparation for eternal life, but rather the gift of the Holy Spirit which has as its purpose the healing of the whole person—body, soul and mind.” How in the world that clear teaching became lost over the centuries with the sacrament commonly being referred to as last rites even to our own day is beyond me. I know that I was taught in grammar school that Extreme Unction was the name of the sacrament and that it was known by the disturbing title of a “sacrament of the dead” because, like Penance, it was a sacrament that could be received even when one wasn’t in the “state of grace” required by the other five sacraments. Perhaps we have the Baltimore Catechism to blame for that! But movies and TV shows can also share the blame by con-tinuing to use the term “last rites” in their scripts. Is that really where we Catholics should get our sacramental theology?

Vatican II made it clear that all the sacraments are for the “living” and reaffirmed Trent’s teaching about the Pastoral Care of the Sick of which the Anointing of the Sick is the most familiar form and the one that is most important for 21st century Catholics to understand clearly. And the first thing to emphasize, understand and shout from the rooftops is that there is no such thing as last rites; that ex-pression died a long-overdue death in 1966 and I suppose that pas-tors might have to take at least part of the blame for not making that clear in the past 50+ years.

The second truth about this sacrament that needs to be emphasized is that it can and should be received regularly and for many rea-sons; that’s why we have the Communal Anointing of the Sick twice a year during Mass. This sacrament is for anyone of “advanced age”

and for anyone about to undergo surgery. It is for those recovering from surgery and for people living with chronic ailments such as ar-thritis, diabetes, heart disease, the effects of a stroke and any other physical ailment. It is for adults or for children in need of either physical, emotional or spiritual healing. When you come to be anointed at Mass, no one asks you to wear a badge identifying what your need is; you have the right to decide why and how often this sacrament is appropriate for you.

But what should Catholics expect from this sacrament? Is it only for the healing of the body? Is it only a preparation for death? The an-swer to both is “no.” The Sacrament of the Sick is given and received for whatever healing we need in God’s eyes. That might indeed be a physical healing but it can also be a spiritual or emotional healing. The sacrament is always meant to provide strength and the grace to persevere as we either recover from illness or face the prospect of liv-ing with “diminished” abilities. And sooner or later, we’re all des-tined to leave this world and a physical healing won’t be possible. But even at life’s end, the Anointing of the Sick can bring peace and comfort as we prepare to pass over into eternity.

The important thing to remember is that we or our loved ones shouldn’t wait until we’re at death’s door to request the sacrament; again, there is no such thing as last rites. And although one part of the Pastoral Care of the Sick is called the Commendation of the Dying, that does not include an anointing or the reception of the Eucharist—which should have been received long before death is imminent. And it’s also important to note that, since all the sacraments are for the “living”, those who are clearly deceased cannot be anointed—yet another reason to request or receive this sacrament long before we’re ready to take our last breath on earth.

So if you, a spouse, a parent or any other family member feel that you should receive this sacrament based on what I’ve described above, please don’t hesitate to call the rectory. But please don’t call to ask for last rites since that doesn’t exist, and please don’t wait until you or a loved one are at death’s door to request the Sacrament of the Sick—unless, of course, a heart attack, a stroke or an accident occurs and the need for the sacrament becomes unexpectedly urgent. I can’t promise that Fr. Dan or I will always be available but if we are, we’ll respond as quickly as possible. And since I have no miraculous way to disseminate this information beyond our bulletin and website, you could help to put “last rites” to rest by sharing this with others!

THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE LORD

AUGUST 6, 2017

GOSPEL READING

Matthew 17:1–9 Jesus is transfigured on the moun-tain in the presence of Peter, James, and John.

FAMILY CONNECTION

Every family has special moments that they remember and share. In sharing these stories, the meaning and importance of the events de-velops and deepens over time. This is how it was with the disciples’ re-membrance of Jesus’ Transfigura-tion. The full significance of what they had seen and experienced could only be understood after Je-sus’ Death and Resurrection. As Peter, James, and John reflected on the event and told other believers about the Transfiguration, their own faith deepened. Because Matthew, Mark, and Luke recorded the ac-count of the Transfiguration in their writings, we too can deepen our faith in Jesus, the Son of God and our Savior.

Gather as a family and think about some special memories that your family recalls over and over again. Talk about why these moments are important to you. Remember that in the Bible we find many important stories about Jesus. They have been recorded so that we too can learn about him and his teachings, so that we too can come to know and love Jesus, God’s beloved Son. Read today’s Gospel, Matthew 17:1–9. Discuss as a family how Jesus fulfills the promises that God made to Israel and how God glorified Je-sus after the Resurrection. Talk about your family and the promises you have made to one another. Conclude by praying together the Lord’s Prayer so that as a family you continue to grow in faithfulness to one another and to your heav-enly Father.

ADULT ALTAR SERVERS NEEDED

With the closing of our school, our supply of Altar Servers for weekday funerals during the school year will be limited to the few young people who are home-schooled. During the summer and on Saturdays that won’t be too much of a problem, but after mid-August it will be.

So we are looking for adults—men and women—who would be available to serve funerals Monday thru Friday at least during the school year. With the exceptions of holy water and incense, it’s the same ministry you see our young people doing at weekend masses, but Fr. Dan would teach you everything you need to know. Of course it’s important to remember that, since funerals are usually scheduled only a few days in advance, you wouldn’t be scheduled for this as parishioners are for the other liturgical ministries; you would just get a phone call when a funeral comes in and if you weren’t available that would be OK. This is why we would like to have a fair number of adults volunteer for this ministry.

If you’re interested, call the Rectory office and leave your name and phone number or speak to Fr. Dan; he’ll get back to you to arrange a practice time.
