Kresta in the Afternoon – April 25, 2024 – Hour 2
Our society’s fear of death makes it hard to appreciate the anointing of the sick. Roger Nutt from Ave Maria University gives us a re-introduction to the sacrament.
Is Death a Gift?
Despite the efforts of some transhumanists, all of us are going to die someday. In his letter to the Philippians, St. Paul writes that for him “to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” This idea that death could be a gain is foreign to our society and even to many Christians. This discomfort with death might be why the Anointing of the Sick tends to be an underappreciated sacrament. Roger Nutt is here to re-introduce us to the gift of this sacrament.
