I noticed a new health care plan this week. On the bulletin board at our local Starbucks is a notice of a fundraiser for a local fellow so he can have a lung transplant. Next to it was another poster for a fund raiser for the mother of one of my son’s friends to raise money for her colon cancer treatment. In the newspaper that day was a thank you advert to all the people and businesses who sponsored a fundraiser for two local kids who were badly hurt in a motorcycle accident in front of the WalMart. Obviously it’s a new trend in health care. I call it "It takes a Village (post disaster plan)."  I plan to attend the event for the colon cancer victim. I’ll pass the news allong. Where do you apply?

no silly, it’s the oil. He wanted to perform Extreme Unction* with it. *Extreme Unction A sacrament of the New Law instituted by Christ to give spiritual aid and comfort and perfect spiritual health, including, if need be, the remission of sins, and also, conditionally, to restore bodily health, to Christians who are seriously ill; it consists essentially in the unction by a priest of the body of the sick person, accompanied by a suitable form of words. I. ACTUAL RITE OF ADMINISTRATION As administered in the Western Church today according to the rite of the Roman Ritual, the sacrament consists (apart from certain non-essential prayers) in the unction with oil, specially blessed by the bishop, of the organs of the five external senses (eyes, ears, nostrils, lips, hands), of the feet, and, for men (where the custom exists and the condition of the patient permits of his being moved), of the loins or reins; and in the following form repeated at each unction with mention of the corresponding sense or faculty: "Through this holy unction and His own most tender mercy may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins or faults thou hast committed [quidquid deliquisti] by sight [by hearing, smell, taste, touch, walking, carnal delectation]". The unction of the loins is generally, if not universally, omitted in English-speaking countries, and it is of course everywhere forbidden in case of women. To perform this rite fully takes an appreciable time, but in cases of urgent necessity, when death is likely to occur before it can be completed, it is sufficient to employ a single unction (on the forehead, for instance) with the general form: "Through this holy unction may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins or faults thou hast committed." By the decree of 25 April, 1906, the Holy Office has expressly approved of this form for cases of urgent necessity Oh, I forgot, Pat’s not Catholic. :(
