Last Rites

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Last Rites can refer to

• Anointing of the Sick (Catholic Church)

Note: The term "Last Rites" is not equivalent to "Anointing of the Sick", since it refers also to two other distinct rites: Penance and Eucharist, the last of which, when administered to the dying, is known as "Viaticum", a word whose original meaning in Latin was "provision for the journey". The normal order of administration is: first Penance (if the dying person is physically unable to confess, absolution, conditional on the existence of contrition, is given), then Anointing, then Viaticum.

• Last Rites (film), a film starring Tom Berenger
