V. Viaticum, the Last Sacrament of the Christian
1525
Thus, just as the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist form a
unity called “the sacraments of Christian initiation,” so too it can
be said that Penance, the Anointing of the Sick and the Eucharist as viaticum
constitute at the end of Christian life “the sacraments that prepare for
our heavenly homeland” or the sacraments that complete the earthly
pilgrimage.
