Ask Father:

Question::: : Father, what’s the difference between Last Rites and Anointing of the Sick?
Answer: Well, there’s a big difference. In most people’s minds, Anointing of the Sick is Last Rites. That is not true now, nor has it ever been the case. Anointing of the Sick is a Sacrament where we pray for healing of a person in body, mind, and soul. It is administered to those who are seriously ill or those in danger of death. 'Last Rites' is a term used to describe the last sacramental actions offered to the faithful before death. These would be Reconciliation and Eucharist, always in that order. Since Anointing of the Sick also absolves the recipient of sins (part of the healing of the soul), it is often done in place of Confession. When the faithful is absolved, then there is Eucharist. One’s Last Holy Communion is the true last rite of the church, which we call viaticum. So, Anointing of the Sick is not Last Rites, Viaticum is.
