Last day of the Novena to St Joseph!

O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires.

O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

O St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him close in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.

St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for me.
R. Amen.

It is the Third Friday in Lent and we are halfway through Lent.

Tonight you actually have 2 opportunities to receive a Plenary Indulgence:
1 for the Stations of the Cross and
1 for Prayer Before a Crucifix.

Only one Indulgence can be a Plenary outside the Jubilee year, the other is a Partial Indulgenc; both remitt sin!

An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints.

We are all sinners, some of us bigger than others. I was a stupid youth and I am still far from perfect, so I need all of the help the Church offers: frequent Confession, Communion and Plenary indulgence to both keep me from sinning and atone for past sins.

Only God truly knows if we get a plenary or partial indulgence, but I will try for whatever God wishes to bestow!

Confession and Stations begin at 5pm.

The Relic of the True Cross will be venerated during Stations and Fr will bless us with the Relic before Mass.
You will have an opportunity to touch objects to this first class relic and venerate before Mass.

God is good and we are 1/2 through Lent. Let's finish strong.

Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory! Psalm 113:9

Are Anointing of the Sick and Last Rites the same thing?

No.

Anointing of the Sick is ONE PART of Last Rites.

Anointing of the Sick is a Sacrament not always administered within the context of Last Rite. It is administered for anyone seriously ill, going into surgery or elderly. It is to give hope for healing and sometimes actual healing and understanding the submission to the Will of God.

Last Rites is the whole Sacrament reserved for people close to death and is normally only given 1x. It is 3 Sacraments and includes, Confession, Annointing of the Sick with oils, Holy Communion(Viaticum), prayers for dying and Apostolic Pardon.

The entire Sacrament, therefore, is all about preparing the soul to meet Christ, its Savior and Judge, which is why everyday we ought to pray for a holy death.

The effects of the sacrament of Extreme Unction/Annointing of the Sick are: first, an increase of sanctifying grace; second, comfort in sickness and strength against temptation; third, preparation for entrance into heaven by the remission of our venial sins and the cleansing of our souls from the remains of sin; fourth, health of body when it is good for the soul.

Does it remitt mortal sin if you are unconscious? Yes, but only if you had imperfect contrition before you became unconscious.

A priest is the only minister for Annointing of the Sick/Last Rites/Extreme Unction. The oils used are blessed during the Chrism Mass during Holy Week.

Sacraments are only for Catholics, but a person can convert on deathbed and would receive all Sacraments (except matrimony/holy orders, normally.)

Do not wait until the person is minutes from death or slipped into a coma to call for Last Rites. Do not be afraid to call a priest or think the person will be scared if one arrives.

Eternity is on the line.

Give the person a chance to square their life away with a priest BEFORE they die. God is merciful and just but we must do our part to receive His mercy.

An Apostolic Pardon is a plenary indulgence that is why Confession and Communion are necessary parts of Last Rites.

Many well meaning priests and people only administer and receive Anointing of the Sick and not the complete Last Rites. The wording of the Sacrament often confuses people as to what was done. Or they skip and only give Apostolic Pardon. This is dangerous and you are playing with fire.

I will link articles and resources for you to fully understand the importance of the Sacrament and for you to prepare for your soul or the soul of a loved one.

Life is a preparation for death.

Get enrolled and wear a Brown Scapular

Do you 9 First Fridays and 5 First Saturdays to help obtain a Holy Death.

Frequent Confession and Communion. Do not think you will have the graces and understanding you have now at your death. Being a good person isn't always good enough. Be extraordinary in your faith.

St Joseph patron of the dying, pray for us.
