The sixteenth precept, on the Sacrament of Extreme Unction

Chapter 16: The sixteenth precept, on the Sacrament of Extreme Unction "There now remains the last sacrament to speak of, Extreme Unction; from this may be derived most useful lessons, not only for our last hour, but for the whole course of our life For in this Sacrament are anointed all those parts of the body in which the five senses reside, and in the anointing of each of them it is said: "May our Lord forgive thee whatever thou mayest have committed by thy sight, hearing, &c" Hence we see, that these senses are as it were five gates, through which all kinds of sin can enter into the soul. If then we care fully guard these gates, we shall easily avoid a multitude of sins, and therefore shall be enabled to live well and die well." Please remember to pray for all who made these information available to you. Source: "The Art of Dying Well" by St. Robert Bellarmine Translated from the latin by Fr. John Dalton Read by: Maureen S.
