I know when we go to confession, our eternal punishment is forgiven, but we still have temporal punishment left for purgatory. I have been reading various posts and some seem to imply that Annointing of the Sick does away with temporal punishment too. Is this the case?

No, Anointing of the sick forgives venial sins and can forgive Mortal sins of those pesons who are unable to Confess their mortal sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is the Apostolic Blessing that satisfies all Temporal Punishment with a Plenary Indulgence.

Thanks. That’s what I thought, just wanted to make sure. Does the Apostolic Blessing go right along with the annointing?

The Apostolic Blessing is usually only given as part of the “Last Rites” “Last Rites” are made up of the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Annointing of the Sick, Holy Communion (Viaticum) and the Apostolic Blessing. It worries me to see many priests in their zeal to make the sacraments more accessable and meaningful to all the faithful neglecting “Last Rites”. Some have said that the middle of the night trip to the nursing home for a dying person is no longer necessary because he/she received the Anointing of the sick last month and received Holy Communion just this last Sunday from a EMHC.

Many parishes are adopting a practice of not bringing the Blessed Sacrament to people who are injured or seriously ill in the hosptial because “they are not members of our church (parish).” Many pastors need to be reminded that they are however members of **Christ’s Church! **
