    From Mark79:
    My family observed that I "turned the corner" shortly after receiving Extreme Unction from my favorite priest
    This is one of the effects of this sacrament, from Trent:

    Quote
    'The effect . . . of this Sacrament Is the grace of the Holy Spirit, whose anointing produces the following: It washes away the sins that remain to be atoned, and the vestiges of sin; it comforts and strengthens the soul of the sick person, arousing in him a great trust and confidence in the divine mercy. Thus strengthened, he bears the hardships and struggles of his Illness more easily, and resists the temptation of the devil and the heel of the deceiver (Gen. 3:15) more readily; and if it be advantageous to the welfare of his soul, he sometimes regains his bodily health.' (Sess. xlv, cap. 2).


    In receiving the sacrament of Extreme Unction, you received a very great favor directly from Our Holy Lord, Who from heaven above sent you that priest, that particular priest! The sins of your whole life - and the vestiges of all those sins - have all been washed away, you are starting over with a clean slate my friend! Gloria in Excelsis Deo!!

    Continued prayers for you and your whole family.  :pray:

  • I’m just happy they let a priest and relatives see him at all.  In some places they don’t (or didn’t) allow it, and people died alone and without sacraments.

    What great news to hear from Mark79!  I am sorry to hear that your wife and children have also been ill.  I'll add them to my prayer list.  What a great blessing you were able to receive Extreme Unction!

    Praying you continue to get stronger and better each day

    BTW, I hope a class action lawsuit is in the works for ventilating covid patients for what is essentially a circulatory, not respiratory, virus.

  • I think Mark79 has now earned a spot in CI trivia lore:

    I don’t ever recall a member being banned/unbanned twice.
