One Presbyterian surgeon who always visited those on whom he was due to operate - even if referred by another - would on discovering that the patient was a Catholic, recommend that they receive that Sacrament. When I discussed that with him he replied that he could always see a big difference in how patients responded to operation when they had received Sacrament of the sick, as against those who had not!<br /><br />Once A Muslim Surgeon whose patient kept "dying" during a heart operation eventually asked what religion the patient had and on being told Catholic, said send for the Catholic chaplain! I had to enter the theatre and anoint the patient on the operating table. He stabilised and recovered! I know many, including some priests , who will regard that as superstition. It never ceases to amaze me how blind some "liberals" can be to the evidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-60116679665880388102012-01-07T19:45:08.388+00:002012-01-07T19:45:08.388+00:00Daniel - a moving account also.

I'm reminded of Fr. Capodanno, who died running around a battlefield in Vietnam giving Last Rites to wounded Marines. With wounds such as a nearly-severed hand, he tried to reach an injured soldier, but was shot and killed. God bless the priests who are willing to go so far out of their way to administer this sacrament.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105420990294820012noreply@blogger.com
