When Saint Finnian was in extremis, suffering from the plague, Columba administered Holy Viaticum.
In defiance of the archbishop, the Abbé Baradère gave him the viaticum, while the rite of extreme unction was administered by the Abbé Guillon, an opponent of the Civil Constitution, without consulting the archbishop or the parish curé.
He painted 'The Annunciation' in the church of Generville, 'St. Benedict receiving the Viaticum,' and two other religious subjects, which are in the church of Boulogne-sur-Mer, 'St. Cecilia,' in the Benedictine Convent in the same town, and several other scriptural and religious subjects.
The other Last Rites are Confession (if the dying person is physically unable to confess, at least absolution, conditional on the existence of contrition, is given), and the Eucharist, which when administered to the dying is known as "Viaticum", a word whose original meaning in Latin was "provision for a journey".
