Last rites?

Question

I am writing a screenplay for class and I need to know how a preist would give someone last rites in a remote area (namley the bottom of a cave).

I mean what are the specific prayers that are to be said. I know it's somthing along the lines of
"I detest my sins etc." but I'd like to know it as acuratley as possible, and can we not have the sarcastic answers please?

Answer 1

"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the presbyters of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven" (James 5:14-15).

This sacrament is now called the Anointing of the Sick and a person does not have to be dying to receive it. It is no longer called the "Last Rites" and "Extreme Unction,"

Any one physically or mentally ill, aged and infirm, or about to receive surgery can receive this sacrament of healing.

The effects of the Anointing of the sick are:
- Uniting of the sick person to the passion of Christ, for his own good and that of the whole Church
- The strengthening, peace, and courage to endure in a Christian manner the sufferings of illness

+ The rite begins with the Sign of the Cross with blessed water which reminds us of our baptismal promise to die with Christ so that we might rise to new life with him.

+ The readings from Scripture are adapted to the condition of the sick person. The priest prays and assures the sick person of the prayers of the parish and invites the sick person to pray for the needs of his or her fellow parishioners.

+ The priest imposes hands on the head of the one to be anointed, prays over the oil and anoints the forehead and hands of the sick person.

+ The priest prays for the sick person and invites all present to pray The Lord's Prayer.

+ Holy Communion may be received at this time.

+ The priest then blesses the sick person and all present.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

There is really no such thing as the Last Rights. It is the Sacrament of healing and it goes something like. "The Apostle James said that if there is any sick among you send for a priest and he will anoint you and you will recover" So the priest rubs oil in the sign of a cross on the forehead and the palms of each hand while saying "May the Lord in his great Mercy forgive you your sins and raise you up on the last day In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen." Then he will say the Our Father

Answer 3

well first off they don't call them last rites anymore .
the same prayers and rituals are now offered to people who are quite ill but not really at deaths door.
as far as how the priest would do that in a cave . i can only imagine that if he was able to get in this cave and move his arms and hands around then he would not do anything any differently .
if he could not move his hands around freely then there would be little difference and the difference there would be i sure would not matter to God .
i think you should learn what the priests do from a priest and more importantly why the priest do what they do in regard to this matter . then if you write a play i think it would be better for your knowing from them the answers.

Answer 4

He would tell the person to ask forgiveness of his "sins" and tell him to open his heart to Jesus. Then again, this is what a Christian priest might do. I personally would say "If you see John Lennon, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe or Jim Henson, tell them HI for me!"

Answer 5

the last rite doesn't change based on where you are but it is different for different sects of Christianity. i know Catholics call it absolution and anglens call ministration at time of death

Answer 6

Don't know much about them but why not just the same as they do elsewhere, aren't they prayers. •
