Rebroadcast of the long-running radio program, "The Ave Maria Hour," a presentation of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. www.AtonementFriars.org

A frail and ill elderly woman asks her caretaker daughter to invite their parish priest to their home to administer the blessed sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. She desperately wishes for the comfort and peace of mind that the sacrament bestows. Her fearful daughter struggles with denial and her belief that accepting the Anointing of the Sick means “giving up all hope.” 

It is a poignant story, as relevant today as when it was originally broadcast many decades ago.
