Simultaneously, a separate team of specialists worked on the content
of the Introduction (Praenotanda), which basically revolved around four issues: 1 De mysterio infirmitais humanae – the mystery of human ill-ness; 2 De praecipuis sacramentis infirmorum, id est unctione et Viatico – the most important component of the sacrament of the sick, which is the anointing and viaticum; 3 De officiis et ministriis circa infirmos – about duty and service to the sick; 4 De aptationibus quae competunt sive Con-ferentis episcopalibus sive ipsis sacerdotalibus – about the adaptations that can be made by Episcopal Conferences or by the priests themselves
The final version of the schema De infirmis, the wording of which is
still in use, was approved on Nov 4, 1969, the plenary of the Congrega-tion for the newly formed Divine Worship.88 It expressed the agreement to add a chapter to the rite of confirmation in case of danger of death „More-over attaching to ceremonies sacraments of prayers for the sick as called
for by dying persons, which in the previous Ritual appeared in the sev-enth chapter – Ordo commendationis animae and in the eighth chapter, as
De exspiratione In new ceremonies these prayers would be supposed to appear in the sixth chapter under the title: Ordo commendationis morien-tium „.89
Widened in this way the schema of rites was approved on Novem-ber 13, 1970 However, this was not yet the end for iter redactionalis
Before the rite was passed onto the pope, its stance had to be expressed to
the appropriate Congregations, among others: Doctrine of the Faith, Cler-gy, Propagation of the Faith Application of amendments to the scheme
was done twice: 5 February and 14 March 1972 The text of the Intro-duction OUI was especially carefully considered Many times the initial
points were corrected on the experience of human disease in the context
of faith and the paschal mystery of Christ Finally, after many amend-ments and discussions, the new rite was accepted, which took place
through Pope Paul VI‘s Apostolic Constitution Sacram Unctionem Infirmo-rum on 30 November 1970 The Constitution finally closed the entire road
of change that had been marked out through the Second Vatican Council The changes such as had taken place in the new rite of the sick required
88 The Congregation for Divine Worship (Sacra Congregation pro Culto Divino), the decision of Pope Paul VI, was established May 8, 1969, in place of the former Congregation of Rites It took the formal continuation of the liturgical reform, which to this point been the task of Consilium Also it had acquired the spirit of the Consilium, because from its ranks, Consilium was now headed by its new Secretary – Archbishop
A Bugninim.
