OMG, he is leaving us only hours after Terri.
I'm getting chills.
(Interesting contrast, the Pope of course gets Last Rites, but Terri was denied the Sacrament of Communion on Tuesday...)
Last Rites are standard when a Catholic is very ill, but does not necessarily mean that death is imminent.
I know an attorney who had Last Rites, but got better, and went on to practice law again.
Last Rites can make a person physically stronger, as well as spiritually stronger.
I heard the Pope is stabilizing, but don't stop praying.
