00:00Friends, dear ones, welcome once again.
00:18Let's delve into the second sacrament of healing,
00:22the sacrament of anointing of the sick.
00:25As I mentioned before, in the context of the general introduction to the sacraments,
00:32This sacrament was formerly called extreme unction.
00:38We need to get that word out of our minds, we need to get it out of our heads.
00:43Because?
00:43Because this idea of extreme unction left a very negative culture in the church
00:51and a very pessimistic, critical view of this sacrament.
00:56Because it was called extreme unction, many people didn't want to receive it.
01:01because he was afraid it was the sick man's last act
01:07or to receive it when in reality this person is barely young.
01:14So no, it shouldn't be called that, extreme unction.
01:19because that alienates people, or the people themselves distance themselves from this sacrament.
01:27Let's call it illness and the sacrament of anointing of the sick.
01:34because the two words combine better then.
01:39Why was it called extreme unction then?
01:41Was it really a vice, or was it a word that came to be associated with this sacrament?
01:46Because yes, indeed many people were abandoning this practice of the church
01:52for the last moment of life and it was the last thing that happened.
01:58However, it is a tragedy that we are abandoning this sacrament.
02:03only for the terminally ill
02:06when it can actually be administered earlier
02:09And that's what we'll be discussing throughout this class.
02:13To begin with, where did this sacrament originate?
02:17This sacrament is in Christ, just like the other six.
02:21and it is a sacrament of healing in the likeness of the sacrament of reconciliation.
02:28When we read the gospels
02:31It is difficult to see if Jesus got sick, if Jesus was ill.
02:37In fact, the gospels do not narrate it as such.
02:42You could say that Jesus got tired.
02:45For example, in chapter 4 of the Gospel of John
02:47It is said that Jesus, tired from the journey, sat down by the well.
02:51Jesus wept.
02:54Jesus weeps for the death of Lazarus, his friend.
02:57Jesus weeps when he sees unfaithful Jerusalem.
03:03Jesus got angry with the vendors in the temple, for example.
03:08Jesus is troubled.
03:09She has a very strong emotion,
03:12a great anguish at Judas' betrayal
03:15and also in response to the arrest in the early hours of Good Friday in Gethsemane.
03:25However, the gospels do not say Jesus got sick.
03:29We do not know if he got sick as a child in the house of the Virgin Mary and Joseph.
03:35What we do know is that Jesus on the cross
03:38He was the one who united with all the sick people in the world.
03:43Because Jesus experienced suffering at that moment,
03:48misfortune, abandonment
03:52and above all the consequences of the disease.
03:56This sacrament, like all the sacraments,
03:59They are then instituted on the cross.
04:02This is the sacrament where we see best
04:04to Jesus crucified, establishing it.
04:08As I have told you, all the sacraments originate from Christ crucified.
04:14And we see it most particularly in this sacrament of anointing,
04:19More clearly, because Jesus crucified
04:21is united to all men.
04:25To all men who have experienced the disease.
04:29To all the men who have felt
04:32destitute because of the disease.
04:35Before entering into the Gospels,
04:40I want to speak a little more pastorally,
04:42catechetically, regarding the administration of this sacrament.
04:46As I said, let's not call it extreme unction.
04:49Because?
04:50Let's not leave it until the end.
04:54Be careful, brothers.
04:55We abandon this sacrament very easily
04:58at the last minute.
05:00And not just because we are Mexicans
05:02or because we are in Mexico
05:03or because we are Latin Americans.
05:05No.
05:06It's a disgrace, it's a tragedy
05:08that we abandon that sacrament
05:10when the sick person, the family member,
05:14He has already been given a terminal diagnosis by the medical staff.
05:17When the doctor says
05:19and tells the family
05:22that he can no longer do anything for his grandfather,
05:24by grandma,
05:25then it occurs to us
05:27call the priest
05:29to come and administer this sacrament.
05:32It's good that we do it,
05:35but actually
05:35the sacrament can be received
05:39at the beginning of the disease.
05:43You can also receive
05:44before a major surgical procedure.
05:49You can receive
05:50when the disease process
05:53it begins to manifest itself.
05:54when there are relapses.
05:56It can be managed
05:57several times too
05:59in the same patient
06:01with the same disease.
06:03For example,
06:04Let's think about the people
06:04who has cancer.
06:06You can receive
06:07several times
06:08the sacrament of anointing.
06:13Personally,
06:14I have never received it.
06:16It is a sacrament
06:16that I don't know if I'll ever receive.
06:18I hope so.
06:19But I haven't received it.
06:21Because, well,
06:22Thank God
06:22I have enjoyed good health.
06:23I haven't had
06:25a serious surgical procedure.
06:28What I'm getting at, brothers,
06:30that is to say
06:30Let's not let it go
06:32until the end.
06:34Let's not leave it.
06:34until the sick person
06:35is seriously ill,
06:37in agony.
06:38Because?
06:38Because Christ wants
06:40accompany you through your illness.
06:42Because Christ wants
06:43join with you
06:45in this process
06:47of illness.
06:48During the surgical procedure,
06:50in therapies
06:51chemotherapy,
06:53For example,
06:54or in respiratory therapies.
06:57Whatever
06:58the disease process,
07:00from the beginning
07:01We can invite Christ.
07:02and that Christ
07:04be a
07:05with me
07:06in my process
07:07of illness.
07:09That's why,
07:09If I am sick,
07:11I must ask
07:12to my family
07:14call
07:14to the priest
07:15that
07:16come
07:16to manage myself
07:17This sacrament.
07:18and not be afraid.
07:22Don't think
07:23that
07:24for receiving
07:25this sacrament
07:25I'm going to die.
07:27Don't think
07:28that
07:28by
07:29come
07:30and bring
07:31the sacrament
07:31of sick people
07:33to my grandfather,
07:34to my grandmother
07:34who is in bed,
07:36He's going to die
07:36necessarily.
07:38No.
07:39Let's not think that.
07:40The sacraments
07:41They are sacraments
07:42of the living.
07:43The sacraments
07:44so
07:45It is the union
07:46with Christ.
07:47Like the other six,
07:48by the way.
07:49So,
07:50How much more
07:51join
07:53to Christ
07:54crucified
07:55from the beginning
07:56of the disease?
07:59For example,
07:59Let's think
08:00in the other
08:01sacrament
08:02healing,
08:03reconciliation.
08:05Don't wait
08:06a lot
08:06when I have
08:08sin.
08:09When I have committed
08:10a sin,
08:11don't wait
08:11until the very last,
08:13until the consequences
08:14be serious,
08:15until repentance
08:16be serious.
08:18so that
08:19I arrived
08:20me too
08:21ask him
08:23to the priest
08:24that he confesses to me.
08:25No.
08:25From this moment on,
08:27starting now,
08:28I can join
08:29to Christ crucified.
08:31Already as a sick person,
08:32I can join
08:33to Christ
08:34who wants
08:35He
08:35come
08:36and heal me.
08:38Now,
08:38it's true,
08:39It is true that many people
08:40No,
08:42upon receiving
08:42This sacrament,
08:44after a
08:44moments,
08:46may die.
08:46it's true,
08:47happens,
08:48I don't deny it.
08:50However,
08:51Let us remember,
08:51in life or death
08:52We belong to the Lord,
08:53says Pablo.
08:55If the Lord
08:56wants
08:56and allows
08:58let him die
08:59my relative
09:00right after
09:01to receive
09:03This sacrament,
09:04excellent.
09:06If you leave
09:07while alive,
09:08excellent.
09:10This sacrament,
09:11like the others,
09:12It's not magic.
09:13It's not because
09:14It's going to happen
09:15the sacrament
09:16of anointing of the sick
09:17to the sick person,
09:20She's going to get better.
09:22It's not miraculous
09:23per se
09:23This sacrament.
09:26The priest
09:27does not act
09:27as a healer.
09:29Is,
09:30one more time,
09:31And let that be clear,
09:32as a sacrament,
09:34union with Christ.
09:35The sick person
09:36joins Christ
09:37there in his illness.
09:39Okay?
09:40That's why,
09:41if it can cure,
09:42Blessed be God.
09:43If it doesn't cure,
09:44Blessed be God
09:45also.
09:48Also
09:48we have a concept
09:50wrong
09:50of this sacrament
09:52because
09:53we think
09:54which is an act
09:55between
09:55the priest
09:56and the sick person.
09:58And
09:59I have no right,
10:00then I don't know
10:01Yeah
10:02I would have,
10:04Should I?
10:05call the priest
10:06so that he/she comes
10:06about me
10:07about my grandfather
10:09sick.
10:10For a start
10:11There are several things.
10:14A sacrament,
10:15the seven,
10:16you can't
10:17manage
10:18in none
10:19condition
10:20of obligation.
10:22None.
10:22I can't
10:23baptize
10:23to a baby
10:24where the parents
10:27they are forced
10:28in this baptism.
10:30I can't
10:31to get married,
10:31I can't
10:32marry
10:32to a couple
10:34where one
10:35of the two
10:35is being
10:36obliged
10:36by
10:37the couple
10:40or by
10:41the family.
10:43No,
10:44it can't be done
10:44order
10:45a young man
10:45priest
10:47snap
10:48being
10:48obliged.
10:49No,
10:50thus the sacrament
10:51of the sick,
10:52it can't be done
10:52to force anyone.
10:54It has happened,
10:55has happened
10:55that the priest
10:56that's it
10:56in the fourth,
10:57that's it
10:58in the room
10:59of the sick person
10:59and the sick person
11:00He says no.
11:00I don't want it
11:01receive.
11:01sometimes
11:03It must be because
11:04the insistence
11:04of the family.
11:06When
11:07There is an obligation,
11:08the priest
11:09He has to respect,
11:10cannot
11:11force anyone
11:11to receive
11:12This sacrament.
11:13when the
11:15sick
11:17It's not there
11:19aware,
11:19He is in agony,
11:20For example,
11:21He's delusional.
11:23is in a stage
11:24of a coma,
11:27can
11:28manage
11:28the sacrament?
11:30Yeah,
11:31to the condition
11:32or with
11:34a context,
11:37knowing,
11:38asking him
11:39to the family
11:39Yeah
11:40this person
11:42sick
11:43in life
11:44I would have
11:44order.
11:46Yeah
11:46my grandpa
11:47now
11:50He is in agony,
11:52Can you
11:53to give the sacrament
11:53of sick people?
11:55The minister
11:55has the obligation
11:56to ask him
11:57to the family,
11:58Would he have
11:58order
11:59in a
11:59awareness
12:00full,
12:01freely,
12:02voluntarily?
12:03If the family
12:04answer yes,
12:05Yeah,
12:05father,
12:06because
12:06my grandpa
12:07I was going to mass
12:08very often,
12:08I knew
12:09the sacraments,
12:11had
12:11knowledge
12:13of faith
12:14Catholic,
12:14oh ok,
12:15With pleasure.
12:16But
12:17We're back to the same thing,
12:18we return to
12:18don't let it pass
12:20a long time,
12:22don't wait
12:23that
12:23already
12:24in agony
12:25the sick person
12:26to give it
12:26the sacrament.
12:28Can
12:28receive
12:28and it is
12:30hills
12:30convenient
12:31when also
12:31the sick person
12:32is aware
12:33and it is
12:34fully
12:34aware.
12:37We're back
12:38to the question
12:38that them
12:39I did
12:39a few
12:40minutes
12:41or to the
12:43problem
12:44rather
12:45no
12:45ask this
12:46sacrament
12:47because we think
12:47which is a
12:48act between
12:48the sick person
12:49and God,
12:50between the
12:50sick
12:50and the
12:51priest
12:51as
12:52minister.
12:52It's true
12:54that
12:54the condition
12:57we're going to
12:57call her
12:58ideal
12:58either
12:59optimal
13:00or most
13:01favorable
13:02to receive
13:02the sacrament
13:03of anointing
13:04is
13:05when
13:06the sick person
13:07confesses
13:08before,
13:09access
13:10before
13:10to the sacrament
13:11of the
13:12reconciliation
13:12and can
13:13confess
13:14their sins
13:15bye
13:15and then
13:16the priest
13:17absolves him
13:18and then
13:19He gives it to him
13:19the anointing
13:20of the sick.
13:20It's the best
13:21That's ideal
13:23to confess
13:24one must be
13:25fully
13:26conscious
13:27from this
13:27like everything else
13:30sacrament
13:31of reconciliation
13:32so
13:35siblings
13:35It is important
13:36that
13:37Let's take out
13:38of our
13:38chip
13:39of our
13:39brain
13:40that
13:41awareness
13:41about what
13:43the sacrament
13:44of sick people
13:45the anointing
13:45of the sick
13:46It is extreme
13:47silk
13:47last
13:48No
13:48can
13:49give
13:50from the
13:52beginning
13:53of the
13:53disease
13:53and as I was saying
13:56in a problematic
13:57a few minutes ago
13:58It is an act
14:00between the priest
14:01and the sick person
14:02What do I do?
14:05as a family member
14:06which is my
14:07position
14:07Well
14:08for a start
14:09as I was saying
14:11it's true
14:12the best
14:14is
14:14manage
14:15the sacrament
14:16of reconciliation
14:17before
14:17of
14:18the one of
14:19sick
14:19and for that
14:20it's true
14:21required
14:22a
14:22privacy
14:23between the sick
14:24like every penitent
14:26and the priest
14:27to keep the secret
14:29to maintain confidentiality
14:31I, as a family member
14:34of the sick person
14:35well
14:36I'm looking for the priest
14:38I make contact
14:39with the parish
14:40I ask
14:41I invite the priest
14:42let him come
14:43home
14:43or to the hospital
14:44where is
14:45This sick man
14:46relative of mine
14:47and well
14:48it's true

14:51I'll leave you now.
14:52Let them talk
14:53so that
14:53may
14:54confess
14:55the penitent
14:55but
14:56after
14:58we return
14:59It is an act
15:00of the community
15:02we can say it
15:03It is an act
15:04familiar
15:04the
15:05family
15:07they can
15:08and not only
15:09they can
15:09They must be there
15:11fearless
15:12siblings
15:12I know that many
15:13they can say
15:14No
15:15I don't want to see it like that.
15:16suffer
15:17to
15:18my sick grandfather
15:20I don't want to go in
15:21No
15:22wanna
15:22see the priest
15:24give him the last rites
15:25because the priest
15:26He's coming to kill him
15:27No
15:28No
15:29Christ wants to be found
15:31the priest there
15:32He is a minister
15:33It's like an instrument
15:35the priest
15:36He's not here to kill anyone
15:37the anointing
15:39It doesn't kill anyone
15:40It is an act
15:43of
15:43the community
15:45and the relatives
15:46They are there
15:46representing
15:48to the community
15:48of the church
15:49in fact brothers
15:52another way
15:54to manage
15:54the sacrament
15:55of anointing
15:57is
15:57within the mass
15:59in a way
15:59collective
16:00in a way
16:01community
16:02sometimes
16:04in the parishes
16:04minimum
16:05once a year
16:06It's okay to do it.
16:07as a pastor
16:08as parish priest
16:09to organize a mass
16:10in general
16:11It's always done
16:12around the 11th
16:13February
16:14because it's the day
16:16world prayer
16:17for the sick
16:17So that's why
16:19dates
16:20it's good
16:20manage
16:21within the mass
16:23the sacrament
16:25of anointing
16:25of sick people
16:26And if it's communal
16:27It's because
16:28they
16:29the sick
16:30are part
16:30of the community
16:31and their families
16:32are part
16:33of the community
16:34because
16:36being a sacrament
16:38like all the sacraments
16:39they have this dimension
16:41ecclesial
16:42as well as
16:43We'll see.
16:44It is not celebrated
16:46a marriage
16:46private
16:47It is not celebrated
16:48a marriage
16:48on the beach
16:49so that it may be
16:51super exclusive
16:52and super private
16:52because?
16:53because it is an act
16:54of the church
16:54Thus this sacrament
16:56of anointing of the sick
16:58It is an act
16:59merely
17:00ecclesial
17:00merely
17:01community
17:03that's why
17:04the ideal
17:05is that it be
17:06community
17:07if possible
17:08in the parish
17:09within a celebration
17:10community
17:11that better
17:12if it's at home
17:13that are
17:14the relatives
17:15present there
17:16they
17:17They are also part
17:18of the church
17:19they
17:20and the sick person
17:20are
17:21living in church
17:23representing
17:24to the church
17:24and finally
17:27What happens then?
17:29with an intervention
17:30surgical
17:30an intervention
17:32medical
17:32and I need
17:33or I want
17:34Or I wonder
17:35if I should
17:36to receive
17:36the sacrament
17:37of anointing
17:37of sick people
17:38We have to see
17:40and we must distinguish
17:41It has to be
17:42an intervention
17:43surgical
17:43serious
17:44It has to be
17:45an act
17:45serious
17:46For example
17:47I'm going to apply myself
17:49Botox
17:49on the lips
17:50it's not
17:52of extreme
17:52gravity
17:53and
17:53prior to that
17:55there's no need
17:57the sacrament
17:57of anointing
17:58of sick people
17:59either
18:00here
18:01in the wrinkles
18:01or on the forehead
18:02or I'm going to take it out
18:04a cavity
18:05or they're going to take me out
18:05a molar
18:07and for that
18:08I'm going to have surgery.
18:09Should I go and ask?
18:10to the priest
18:12the anointing
18:12of sick people?
18:14No
18:14not necessarily
18:16Are they going to rebuild me?
18:18a part
18:19of the skin
18:19because I got burned
18:20Was it a long time ago?
18:21No
18:22not necessarily
18:23or those operations
18:25I don't remember the name.
18:26but of the correction
18:27of the sight
18:27No
18:29probably
18:29It is not necessary
18:30the anointing
18:32preview
18:33because
18:33It is not an act
18:35of illness
18:35there is nothing
18:36serious
18:37however
18:38if it is possible to receive
18:40even though we are
18:41young people
18:42Let's think about the children
18:44with cancer
18:45in young people
18:46with cancer
18:47in mothers
18:48men and women
18:49youths
18:50with
18:50serious illnesses
18:52they can
18:53they can
18:54and they must
18:55receive
18:56ask
18:57the sacrament
18:58of the anointing
18:59of sick people
19:00because
19:00as I told you
19:01And let that be perfectly clear
19:02that it looks good
19:03integrated
19:04in our concept
19:05of this sacrament
19:06It is the union
19:06with Christ
19:08suffering
19:09It is the union
19:09with Christ
19:10resurrected
19:11because
19:12He wants
19:13that the sick
19:15the tired ones
19:16the overwhelmed
19:17Let us come to Him
19:18And that's it.
19:19so

19:39that I am simple
19:40and humble of heart
19:41and they will find
19:42rest
19:43for their lives
19:44because my yoke
19:45It is soft
19:45and my burden
19:46light
19:47Christ
19:49he wants then
19:50meet
19:51with the sick person
