[Magdalen] Ireland

[Joseph Cirou]

I remember many years ago there was an accident in Quebec. I had my oils in
the car and I administered the sacrament of the sick to the victim. Someone
came up to me and mentioned (in French) that I didn't have to be so formal.

I don't think I would have changed the rite of the sick but I might have
been more conversational if weren't speaking French as a second language.

I might have been improvising as it was I don't remember whether I had a
French Ritual I did have my breviary in French and some of those books have
emergency formulas for the sick and dying
