Extreme Unction and the Benedictine Blessing
« on: April 10, 2024, 08:23:55 PM »
I have been in and out of the hospital for months and am no longer able to attend Mass. A traditional Catholic priest has been visiting to hear my confession and bring Holy Communion. This time he said it was time for Extreme Unction, so we've done that. He also did a Benedictine Blessing which was decreed by Pope Benedict XV (I think he said). I am unable to find out about this. Someone here must know about this. Thank you and God bless you.

A Benedictine Blessing appears to be named for Pope Benedict XIV and is one form of Apostolic Blessing. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia,

Quote
The Apostolic blessing is a sacramental with which is granted a plenary indulgence (under the usual conditions) [...] A special feature of this blessing is the Apostolic benediction in articulo mortis. This blessing is given to those who are in danger of death by priests who possess the required faculty. A formula is prescribed by Benedict XIV; to gain the indulgence it is necessary to receive the sacraments, to invoke the name of Jesus, and be resigned to the will of God.
