"Recovering the Riches of Anointing" is a collection of the
papers presented at an international symposium sponsored by the
National Association of Catholic Chaplains (NACC) as part of a
long-term exploration of topics of theological and pastoral concern
in pastoral care of the sick. This book looks at the anointing of
the sick from the vantage point of theology, history, and canon
law.
Since Vatican II the training and commissioning of lay
Eucharistic ministers has enabled the sick and dying to receive the
nourishment of Christ's body and blood regularly in their
confinement at home or an institution. The sacraments of penance
and the anointing of the sick, however, have become less and less
available as the number of ordained priests in chaplaincy is
decreasing. In response to this pastoral problem Bishop Richard J.
Sklba, auxiliary bishop of Milwaukee, suggested that the NACC
gather theologians together to explore the history and practice of
this sacrament and other rituals in the rich tradition of the
Church. Thus the papers concerning this particular sacramental
ministry were written and delivered at this conference.
"Recovering the Riches of Anointing" will be helpful for
professional ministers of pastoral care; professional pastoral,
liturgical, and sacramental theologians; and those engaged in
pastoral ministry formation.
