Old customs fade slowly, and in 1560 the Council of Trent tried for significant change in pastoral
care of the sick. People resisted, thinking that the
last breath was the right time for the sacrament. Although physical improvement was often noted after
anointing, it was seen as a kind of bonus, rather than
an expected outcome of a prayer for good health,
strength, patience, and even healing. More than four
hundred years later, many people still do not ask for
anointing until it is literally too late for the person to
have reasonable hope of healing, or at least be
aware enough to participate in the ritual. By then, it
may even be too late for viaticum, the true “last rite.”
We have a treasure in our tradition that we seem
reluctant to use. We visit the sick, we anoint those
who are in the first crisis of illness, we give Communion to those who are dying, and we keep vigil and
pray for those close to death. When anointing is celebrated early enough, optimally when the sick person
is still at Sunday Mass, it can be a source of courage, faith, and hope for a difficult road ahead. When
we anoint our sick, we remind them that they belong
to Christ and a community of faith. We bring them
into the presence of Christ to reconcile, heal, and
give strength and hope. We resist forces that isolate
and alienate the sick; the symbol of touch is a powerful act of acceptance. Why wait until the crisis of illness is dire before we apply such a rich remedy to
body and soul?
