Communion of the Sick (Viaticum) (OCC)Old Catholic Ritualby Old Catholic Churches of Germany.Published in 1875 | Old Catholic Church Communion Viaticum Liturgy |
Unless a private confession of the sick person has immediately preceded, the sick person himself, or one of those present, shall say the general confession (p. 23).
The Communion will be administered with the same forms as in the previous service; but in the case of a sick person in imminent danger of death, the following formulary can be made use of;
Brother (or sister), receive the viaticum of the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which can conduct thee to everlasting life. Amen.
It must depend somewhat upon circumstances what prayers the Priest can offer before and after the Communion of the sick person, or can make use of together with others present. (See Appendix
