Viaticum - Food and strength for the journey

Presenter: Fr Frank O’Loughlin

As death approaches for a Christian, we celebrate Viaticum, a word meaning ‘what you need for the journey’ and pray the Commendation of the Dying, entrusting the person into God’s hands. In that moment of approaching death, these rites reflect what we celebrate in every Eucharist.
