103 Why Receive the Anointing of the Sick

In this episode we look into the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, how it was instituted by Christ himself, how it is celebrated and the spiritual benefits it has for your soul. As a bonus, I speak about the Apostolic Pardon, and how—by pure kindness and mercy of God—it can help you avoid Purgatory altogether.
