"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 liturgical actions in the Anointing of the Sick include the following principal elements:
+ Scripture is read.
+ The priests of the Church in silence lay hands on the sick.
+ They pray over them in the faith of the Church
+ They anoint them with oil blessed by the bishop.
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
Contact your local parish to arrange an anointing.
With love in Christ.

It hasn't been called "the last rites" in years. It is known as "the anointing of the sick' and you don't have to have a terminal illness to receive them

Im not a Father but I ll pray that He will deliver you from your burden ....that He will comfort you in this dark hour. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, then there is nothing to fear.
