The priest that gives the dying man last rites is actually a CFR and at the time he was not even a priest. When there were so many priest available... they chose a brother. I love it!

Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick' is usually seen as 'last rites' but anyone can get this if they are unwell. My parish does it weekly. This needs a priest unless there's some major emergency. Most people get this in advance when they know they are dying or sick. It is therefore separate to prayers at the bedside. Confession should be by a priest unless its an unexpected emergency i.e. the person will die before a priest could arrive. The same goes for Baptism. Edited November 10, 2011 by Zippy
MessorCarus Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 It makes my hear just melt because of Jesus.

IamMyBeloveds Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 In the Parish/School that I currently work in this year, we saw this movie today! Two of the guy teachers and I ate lunch in one of the homerooms and spent our break talking and watching "Fishers of Men"! I love being around fellow Catholics! This movie brings tears to my eyes and makes me pray for all current and future priests!

As far as I know in any circumstances only a priest can hear a confession And last rites is a sacrament The seven sacraments are: Baptism Confession Confirmation Holy Eucharist Matrimony Holy Orders Last Rites or Anointing of the Sick [/quote] Sorry - I wasn't very clear with the distinctions. The sacrament of the sick is administered to anyone who requests it or needs it. They don't need to be dying but it's often associated with that. When a person is dying the priest usually also administers the sacrament of confession if the person requests or requires it. There are also prayers that can be said by the priest or family. All of this, at least in my experience, is summarised as 'last rites'. Baptism can be done without a priest in severe emergencies i.e if the person or child will do die before they the priest can administer. This is covered by canon law 861(2). The sacrament of confession has to be done by a priest because it requires absolution. However, anyone can hear another persons confessions of sins and encourage the person to make an act of contrition before they die i.e. if a priest isn't available or there isn't going to be time to seek the sacrament via a priest. My grandmother always used to get us to confess all our sins in prayer privately and make an act of contrition before heading out for the sacrament. I think this was 'insurance' in case we got run over or something before arriving. But the brother who gave anointment and absolution relates to the video and that scene wasn't real. So it wasn't an abuse.
LinaSt.Cecilia2772 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 this. is. amesome. On every father's day, never forget to say happy father's day to your parish priests. And always pray for them. Their job is one of great joy, but great hardship. The devil targets priests more than anything. Pray for their safety, and continued faith to tend to His flock. Amen.
