The sacrament that was called Extreme Unction for seven centuries and never should have been.
Seven sections take up Christ the healer, what the oil actually does when healing does not come, how a sacrament for the sick became a sacrament for the dying, what the last rites really are and in what order, and how to sit with someone who is suffering.
