Anointing/Last Rites

Anointing sacrament 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

Have mercy on me, God, according to your great kindness.  
In you, Lord, I have trusted; let me never be confounded.
Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit; you have redeemed me, Lord God, ever faithful.
Be pleased, O God, to set me free; make haste, O Lord, to help me.
Be to me, Lord, a divine protector.
God, be merciful to me a sinner.

(O most loving Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of your sacred passion receive me into the company of your elect.)
Lord Jesus Christ, receive my spirit.

Mary, Mother of God, Mother of mercy, defend me from the evil foe, and receive me in the hour of my death.
Holy angel of God, be my guardian.
All holy angels and saints, intercede for me and hasten to help me.


P: Our help is in the name of the Lord.
All: Who made heaven and earth.
P: Do not keep in mind, O Lord, the offenses of your servant nor take vengeance on his (her) sins. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Our Father (the rest inaudibly until:)
P: And lead us not into temptation.
All: But deliver us from evil.
P: Save your servant.
All: Who trusts in you, my God.
P: Lord, heed my prayer.
All: And let my cry be heard by you.
P: The Lord be with you.
All: May He also be with you.

P: Loving God, you said to your apostle James.  If there is anyone who is sick among you, let them send for the priests of the Church, and let the Priests pray over them and anoint them with Oil in the name of Jesus.  Whatever sins they committed may their sins be forgiven them.  Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit.  May the Lord who frees you from sin, save you and raise you up.  

Let us pray.
Merciful God, kind Father, our sole comfort, who will that no one who believes and trusts in you should perish, in your boundless love look favorably on your servant, N., whom the true faith and Christian hope commend to you. Come to him (her) with your saving power, and by the suffering and death of your only-begotten Son, be pleased to grant him (her) pardon and remission of all sins. 

Let his (her) soul at the hour of its departure find in you a merciful judge, and cleansed of every stain in the blood of your Son, let him (her) be found worthy of passing into everlasting life; through Christ our Lord. All: Amen.
6. After the "Confiteor" has been said by one of the assistants, the priest says May almighty God, etc. May the almighty and merciful Lord, etc. Then he continues:

May our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave to His blessed apostle Peter the power of binding and loosing, mercifully accept your confession and restore your baptismal innocence. And I, by the power given to me by the Holy See, grant you a plenary indulgence and remission of all sins; in the name of the Father, and of the Son,  and of the Holy Spirit. All: Amen.

By the sacred mysteries of mankind's restoration may almighty God remit for you the punishment of the present life and of the life to come, and may He open to you the gates of Paradise and admit you to everlasting happiness.
All: Amen.
