Sickness and Death The Sacrament of Extreme Unction
On arriving at the place where the sick person lies, the
Priest, with the holy oil, entering the room, says: V.—Peace be to this house,
R.—And to all who dwell therein!
Then, after placing the oil on a table, being vested in a
surplice and a purple stole, he offers the sick person a crucifix
to be piously kissed; after which he sprinkles both the
chamber and the bystanders with holy water in the form of a
cross, saying the Asperges.
Then he says:
V.—Our help is in the name of the Lord,
R.—Who hath made heaven and earth!
V.—The Lord be with you!
R.—And with thy spirit!
Let us pray
Let there enter, 0 Lord Jesus Christ, into this
house, in consideration of our humility, everlasting
felicity, Divine prosperity, serene gladness, fruit V.—Pax huic dornui,
R.—Et omnibus habitantibus in ea!
V.—Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini,
R.—Qui fecit coelum et terram!
V.—Dominus vobiscum!
R.—Et cum spiritu tuo!

These prayers, if time will not permit, may be either wholb'
in part omitted. After thern is said the Confiteor, etc.
Before the Priest begins to anoint the sick person, he
Lmonishes the bystanders to pray for her: and when it is
nvenient to do so, they recite for her the Penitential Psalms, with Litanies or other prayers, whilst the Priest is
administering the holy unction. Then he says:
In the name of the Father '~, and of the Son '•l',
and of the Holy ·E Ghost, may all the power of
the devil be extinguished in thee, by the imposition
of our hands, and by the invocation of all the holy
Angels, Archangels, Patriarchs, Prophets, Apos-
tles, Martyrs, Confessors, Virgins, and all the
Saints. Amen.
Then, dipping his thumb in the holy oil, he anoints the
sicic person in the form of a cross on the parts mentioned
below, applying the words of the form, as follows:
ON THE EYES

most tender mercy, may the Lord pardon thee

After every unction he wipes the anointed parts with cotton
wool.

V.—0 Lord, hear my prayer,
R.—And let my cry come unto Thee!
V.—The Lord be with you !
R.—And with thy spirit !
Let us pray
Lord God almighty. Thou hast spoken by Thy
Apostle James, saying: Is any man sick among
you? Let him bring in the Priests of the Church,
-Salvum fac servum tuum,
-Deus metis, sperantem in te!
-Mitte ei, Domine, auxilium de sancto,
-Et de Sion tuere eum!
-Esto ei, Domine, turris fortitudinis,
-A facie inimici!
-Nihil proficiat inimicus in eo,
-Et filius iniquitatis non opponat nocere ei.
-Domine, exaudi orationern meam,
-Et clamor meus ad te veniat!
-Dominus vobiscum!
-Et cum spiritu tuo! and let them pray over him, anointing him with
oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of
faith shall save the sick man; and the Lord shall
raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be
forgiven him. Cure, we beseech Thee, 0 Our
Redeemer, by the grace of the Holy Spirit, the
languors of this Thy servant who is sick; heal
her wounds, and forgive her sins; drive out from
her all pains of body and mind, and mercifully
restore to her full health, inwardly and outwardly,
that being recovered by the help of Thy mercy,
she may return to her former duties. Who, witli
the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest
God, world without end. Amen.
Let us pray
Look down, 0 Lord, we beseech Thee, upon
Thy servant (Name), fainting in the infirmity
of her body, and refresh the soul which Thou
hast created, that, being bettered by chastise-
ments, she may feel herself saved by Thy medi-
cine. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray
0 holy Lord, almighty Father, eternal God,
Who, by pouring the grace of Thy blessing upon
sick bodies, dost preserve, by Thy manifold good-
ness, the work of Thy hands, graciously draw
near at the invocation of Thy Name, that, deliver-
ing Thy servant from sickness, and. bestowing
health upon her. Thou mayest raise her up by Thy
right hand, strengthen her by Thy. might, defend
her by Thy power, and restore her to
Church, with all desired prosperity.
Christ our Lord. Amen.
