The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick (previously known as Last Rites) is not like a vaccine that is good for the rest of your life or needs to be renewed.
Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament (a visible sign of God's grace) that is given to a very ill person to give them streangth and healing physically, emotionally, and spiritually. a person can receive the sacrament later in life if they become seriously ill again or they can receive the sacrament again for the same illness if he or she needs strength in dealing with the illness.

Is Last Rites, you don't need to get it renewed. Don't worry but it is a sacrament that can be repeated as many times as needed. It is also called "Anointing of the Sick" because in the bible Jesus said "is any among you sick, called the presbyters and anoint them". Is usually done when you're really sick or you're about to die.

No, the Last Rites, or Extreme Unction, or as it is called today
Anointing the Sick can be receive anytime you are ill, going to surgery, or in danger of dying. This Sacrament can be as needed.

The last rights are not a permenant tenant. When they gave you them at 2 is was done to "offer your soul" to God, since you did not die (thank fully) your soul was not recieved. So when you do actually die in the (hopefully) far future, it will have to be done again.

The only thing you need to be concerned about is whether or not you have been born again.
Joh 3:3-7
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (KJV)

I think you have to do it again...but I'm not sure. And, not to be a jerk, but it's spelled "Rites." :) Hopefully you won't need them for a long time!

Only good if you die.
If you recover, it doen't continue.
Liive a good, honest life and you shouldn't have to worry about it.
