And You Visited Me: Sacramental Ministry to the Sick

Priests, deacons, and students of liturgy will find this work a sourcebook for understanding the development of the rites and a guide in the ritual praxis, be it in the church, hospital, home, or emergency situations. Suggestions for ministerial implementation are made in the context of information now available from liturgical scholarship and modern scientific research on sickness and death.

Fr. Charles W. Gusmer (1938-2021) was a teacher and scholar world-renowned for his work on the pastoral care of the sic. He received his doctorate in sacred theology from the Theological Faculty in Trier and taught at Immaculate Conception Seminary, Seton Hall University, New Jersey.
