“Last Rites" conjures up lots of imagery but usually dramatic ones from movies. In reality, we restored it to its original purpose based on James 5:14 and called it "Sacrament of the Sick". The sacrament is meant to seek physical and spiritual healing. I've received it three times for serious surgeries. But during COVID, a rash of them were requested as families worked themselves into frenzies, treating this as the card into heaven or a requirement of the Church. Please, understand that no ceremony, no prayer, can guarantee anyone's entry to eternal life. The Sacraments are meant to bolster us on our journey. Then, the Good Shepherd takes over with mercy and wisdom.
