Previous reflections   The 16 Documents of Vatican II Resolution  


Reflection
 96:  Based on Article 73 of  The Sacred Liturgy "SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM" 

 

Vatican II revised all the sacraments, none more so than "Extreme unction,"
which is now
more fittingly  called " the anointing of the sick,"

The anointing of the sick is not just for people at the point of death

An amazing book outlines the history of this sacrament,
and how it fell into decay for centuries

I cannot recommend highly enough
"The Healing Reawaking" by Francis McNutt

Jesus, please help us use all the sacraments
the way you want us to use them
