The Last Rites of Boromir One of the most Catholic scenes in The Lord of the Rings is the death of Boromir. In this short, moving scene, we see several elements of the last rites offered to Catholics. Last rites include three sacraments: reconciliation, anointing of the sick, and the Eucharist....
Humility and the Healing Power of God Listen to Bishop Barron's homily on the reading from 2 Kings 5. We all suffer from some pestilence, whether it be physical, spiritual, or emotional, and we all seek healing. We need to find the humility to accept God's cure for our spiritual ailments, just like the general Naaman does when Elisha orders him to wash in the river Jordan.

We are all Broken (The Sacraments of Healing) In addition to the ongoing healing that we receive from regular attendance at Mass and reception of the Eucharist, the Church also provides two other significant opportunities for encountering Jesus’ healing grace: the Sacraments of Penance and Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick.
Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick In the Anointing of the Sick, the focus is on the possibility of a spiritual and/or a physical healing. The prayers address the sick person as a whole, which includes all aspects of our human life. (Franciscan Media, Fr. Don Miller, OFM)

USCCB - Anointing Of The Sick In the Church's Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, through the ministry of the priest, it is Jesus who touches the sick to heal them from sin – and sometimes even from physical ailment. His cures were signs of the arrival of the Kingdom of God. The core message of his healing tells us of his plan to conquer sin and death by his dying and rising.
