preparation

for a <^irl? Call



^ When a priest is to enter with the Blessed
Sacrament, the room should be clean and

neat. If the sick person is to go to Confes-

sion, place a chair facing the foot of the bed

so that the priest will not be facing the sick

person during the Confession. For the re-

ception of the other Sacraments, a table is

required. Place it so that the patient can look

upon the Crucifix. On the table should be:

1

—

A clean, white cloth.
2

—

Crucifix.

3

—

Two beeswax candles, lighted.
4

—

Glass of water.

5

—

A Spoon.
6

—

Holy Water.

7

—

A Napkin.

If Extreme Unction is to be administered,

it is necessary to have, also:

9—A saucer with six small balls
of cotton.

10—A small plate with small pieces
of Bread and Lemon.



Someone should watch for the approach of

the priest and meet him at the door with a

lighted candle and lead him to the sick room.

All should leave the room if the sick person

wishes to go to Confession. The priest will

give a sign when to return. Someone should

assist the priest in removing and replacing

the bedclothing for the Sacrament of Extreme

Unction. All kneel while the priest imparts

the blessing on the sick person before he

leaves.

After the priest has gone, the particles of

bread and cotton should be burned so that

the Holy Oil may not be desecrated.

A Sick-call Crucifix, as pictured on cover,

contains most of the things needed for the

priest’s visit. This Sick-call Crucifix can be

hung on the wall like an ordinary crucifix.

It is both convenient and practical.
