Spanish term or phrase: auxilios espirituales
in an obituary from Spain - "murio confortada con los auxilios espirituales." I assume this means last sacrament, but is there a more equivalent term? I'm not a Catholic so forgive me if this is an obvious question.

Last Sacrament


Explanation:
It can also mean that she dies with a spiritual help, that is, help from God, but I think that LAST SACRAMENT is the most suitable form

At last he recalls his Good Deeds. She is so weak and helpless by means of Everyman\'s neglect that she cannot stand. Only after Everyman is taken to Confession and does penance for his sins does Good Deeds get strength enough to accompany him. Good Deeds and Knowledge advise him to take with him on the journey Discretion, Strength, and Beauty, and, as counsellors, his Five Senses. Everyman receives the Last Sacrament and sets out on his journey with these companions. But when he actually reaches the grave, Beauty makes haste to depart and is promptly followed by Strength. At last only Knowledge and Good Deeds remain by his side. Good Deeds accompanies him to the Heavenly realm to plead his cause before his Maker, and Knowledge, remaining behind, hears the joyful songs of the angels.

Sacraments for the Dying in the Absence of a Priest.
Viaticum

Instruction

For a Roman Catholic, in addition to the prayers one can say for the sick and dying, the last sacrament is actually the Eucharist (communion) in the form of Viaticum. If a priest were available, he would hear the person\'s confession, give the sacrament of the sick, and give communion. Only a priest can hear a confession or give the sacrament of the sick. However, a lay person, who is designated a Eucharistic Minister by his/her pastor in accordance with the regulations of the local bishop can give communion to the dying. When a Eucharistic Minister becomes aware that someone is dying, and no priest is available he or she should go to the Church and obtain a consecrated host and take it to the sick person.

Tonight, after dinner, I have been advised of my sentence: I am to be executed like a criminal at eight in the morning. I have not had time to give you a full account of everything that has happened, but if you will listen to my doctor and my other unfortunate servants, you will learn the truth, and how, thanks be to God, I scorn death and vow that I meet it innocent of any crime, even if I were their subject. The Catholic faith and the assertion of my God-given right to the English throne are the two issues on which I am condemned, and yet I am not allowed to say that it is for the Catholic religion that I die, but for fear of interference with theirs. The proof of this is that they have taken away my chaplain, and, although he is in the building, I have not been able to get permission for him to come and hear my confession and give me the Last Sacrament, while they have been most insistent that I receive the consolation and instruction of their minister brought here for that purpose.

In an interview Msgr. John J. Strynkowski, executive director of the U.S. bishops' Secretariat for Doctrine and Pastoral Practices, said ``last rites'' is ``a very ambiguous phrase'' that may include up to three sacraments.

These, he said, are the sacrament of penance or reconciliation, anointing of the sick and Viaticum, as the Eucharist is called when administered to the dying.

Last Rites, Sacrament of the Sick, Extreme Unction
The title mentions three things - are they all the same sacrament?

Yes, they are. \"Last Rites\" and \"Extreme Unction\" are the older names for the Sacrament of the Sick

Isn\'t this the Sacrament people get when they are dying?

Yes, it is. But it can be given to anyone who is ill or even those with chronic problems.

What does the Sacrament of the Sick do for people?

This Sacrament is usually given along with confession, giving the dying person a chance to reconcile themselves to God and go to Heaven. If the person is not conscious then, obviously she or he can\'t do confession. But in the Sacrament of the Sick, the individual will be receive a special Grace (like in all Sacraments). This Grace prepares their soul to meet God but also, in many cases, this Grace will make them better or even heal them of their illness. This is why the church encourages all sick people to receive the Sacrament of the Sick and not just those who are dying.
