Sacraments of Service
The sacraments of service – Matrimony (or “Marriage”) and Holy Orders – are both calls from Our Lord to share our lives with others in special ways. Marriage: The commitment made by a couple, through the Sacrament of Matrimony, is a sign of God’s love and faithfulness. The Christian community shares their joy as they prepare to enter a new life together in the holy Sacrament of Marriage. A sacramental Marriage celebrated in the Catholic Church acknowledges the importance of God in the lives of both husband and wife. Members of our Wedding Ministry [Angel Couples] meet with couples before their wedding to help in the planning of the ceremony. They preside over the rehearsals and walk the couples through the ceremony. They attend the weddings and help the clergy and the couples to ensure a memorable experience. Arrangements must be made six months in advance.

Holy Orders
Matrimony
 Each of us is to exercise our priesthood by strengthening and serving one another. Within the Church there are many means of service. One way of service stands out as a sacrament, namely Holy Orders, which ordains the recipient to the office of bishop, priest or deacon. The priest's special calling is first and foremost to preach the Good News of God's love and humanity. In offering himself as a candidate for the priesthood, he must give evidence of wisdom and spiritual maturity, as he is called to lead the Christian community with patience and kindness. The priest celebrates Mass and administers the Sacraments, taking an active role in offering Christ's gift of Himself. From earliest times, deacons have had a special place in the pastoral work of the Church, preaching, ministering at baptisms and weddings, and caring for the poor and hungry on behalf of the whole Church. Nowadays, married men are more and more frequently ordained to the diaconate, where they have a strong role in assisting priests and bishops and serving the people. Finally, bishops are chosen and ordained to supervise and lead priests and deacons, to unify, bless and teach the people and act as a sign of Christ in the local church and community. Matrimony
All love comes from God, and all love reflects the love that God has for His creation.

The last group of sacraments are the Sacraments at the Service of Communion—Holy Orders and Matrimony. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states: Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist are sacraments of Christian initiation. They ground the common vocation of all Christ’s disciples, a vocation to holiness and to the mission of evangelizing the world. They confer the graces needed for the life according to the Spirit during this life as pilgrims on the march towards the homeland. ( CCC, 1533)
Two other sacraments, Holy Orders and Matrimony, are directed towards the salvation of others; if they contribute as well to personal salvation, it is through service to others that they do so.

The Sacraments of Service
Through marriage and the holy orders, couples and the clergy promise to serve and build up the church community. Marriage
Marriage isn’t just a union between man and wife. The devotion husband and wife have to each other, and to Christ, mirrors Christ’s love and service to the church. Through marriage, a couple promises to help build each other up in faith, serve each other and the church and be faithful to each other until death. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her. Ephesians 5:25
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them.

 Ordination is the sacramental ceremony in which a man becomes a deacon, priest, or bishop and enabled to minister in Christ's name and that of the Church. There are three ordinations in the Sacrament of Holy Orders: diaconate; priesthood; and episcopal. Bishops (episcopoi) are those who have care of multiple congregations (diocese) and have the task of appointing, ordaining, and disciplining priests and deacons, and shepherding the larger Christian community. They are often called 'evangelists' in the New Testament. Examples of first century bishops include Timothy and Titus (1 Tim. 5:19-22, 2 Tim. 4:5, Titus 1:5).

The Sacrament of Matrimony
“The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.” Sacred Scripture begins with the creation of man and woman in the image and likeness of God and concludes with a vision of “the wedding-feast of the Lamb.

What is a sacrament in the Catholic Church?
Sacraments are outward signs instituted by Christ, and entrusted to the Church, to give grace.
Support Aleteia!
 The Compendium of the Catechism, explains this aspect of sacraments as well. Sacramental grace is the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given by Christ and is proper to each sacrament. This grace helps the faithful in their journey toward holiness and so assists the Church as well to grow in charity and in her witness to the world. ( 231)
The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church all find their origin in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and in the Church he founded.

The Compendium of the Catechism, explains this aspect of sacraments as well. Sacramental grace is the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given by Christ and is proper to each sacrament. This grace helps the faithful in their journey toward holiness and so assists the Church as well to grow in charity and in her witness to the world. ( 231)

 Priests (presbuteroi) are also known as "presbyters" or "elders." In fact, the English term "priest" is simply a contraction of the Greek word "presbuteros." They have the responsibility of teaching, governing, and performing the sacraments in a given congregation (1 Tim. 5:17, Jas. 5:14-15). Like bishops, they receive their priesthood in the one priesthood of Jesus Christ. Deacons (diakonoi) are the assistants of the bishops and have the task of teaching and administering certain church functions, such as the distribution of food, caring for the sick, preaching, etc. ( Acts 6:1-6). Anyone interested in learning more about (or pursuing) the vocation of priesthood, religious life or the diaconate (being a deacon), can contact Msgr. Enke.

 Jeremiah 29:11
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her. Ephesians 5:25
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:27-28
Holy Orders
This sacrament is for those who choose to become a priest, bishop or deacon. Through ordination, they are able to perform sacred duties and serve the church community. This is not a sacrament that everyone partakes in, rather it’s one that people feel called to by God. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines them like this: The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.

 Each new priest receives a paten and a chalice with which to lead the community in celebrating the Eucharist. Priests are Christ's representatives on earth. Like Baptism and Confirmation, Holy Orders confers an indelible character and cannot be repeated. The sacrament of holy orders is conferred in three ranks: bishops, priests, and deacons. Ordination is the sacramental ceremony in which a man becomes a deacon, priest, or bishop and enabled to minister in Christ's name and that of the Church. There are three ordinations in the Sacrament of Holy Orders: diaconate; priesthood; and episcopal.

 Sacraments are visible rites seen as signs and efficacious channels of the grace of God to all those who receive them with the proper disposition. The sevenfold list of sacraments is often organized into three categories: the sacraments of initiation (into the Church, the body of Christ ), consisting of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist; the sacraments of healing, consisting of Penance and Anointing of the Sick; and the sacraments of service: Holy Orders and Matrimony.

While we believe that human life is infused with the sacramental goodness of God, the Catholic Church has defined seven sacraments - instituted by and through the life of Jesus Christ. It is through the experience of the sacramental ritual that we are infused with God’s grace. The Sacraments nourish and strengthen us as they express and build up our faith. Sacraments of Initiation

 In ordaining priests, the bishop lays his hands on the head of each candidate and prays silently. This is the most important sign n the sacrament of Holy Orders. Then the bishop prays a prayer of consecration or the prayer that "makes holy". Each candidate for the priesthood is also anointed with holy oil. This is a sign of his special sharing in Christ's own priesthood through the ordained ministry. Each new priest receives a paten and a chalice with which to lead the community in celebrating the Eucharist. Priests are Christ's representatives on earth.

 The Church teaches that the effect of a sacrament comes ex opere operato, by the very fact of being administered, regardless of the personal holiness of the minister administering it. However, a recipient's own lack of proper disposition to receive the grace conveyed can block the effectiveness of the sacrament in that person. The sacraments presuppose faith and through their words and ritual elements, are meant to nourish, strengthen and give expression to faith. While the Church itself is the universal sacrament of salvation, the sacraments of the Catholic Church in the strict sense are seven sacraments that "touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith". " The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation", although not all are necessary for every individual. Sacraments of initiation

The Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: " Christian initiation is accomplished by means of the sacraments which establish the foundations of Christian life. The faithful born anew by Baptism are strengthened by Confirmation and are then nourished by the Eucharist."

 The invisible reality we cannot "see" is God's grace, his gracious initiative in redeeming us through the death and Resurrection of his Son. His initiative is called grace because it is the free and loving gift by which he offers people a share in his life, and shows us his favor and will for our salvation. Our response to the grace of God's initiative is itself a grace or gift from God by which we can imitate Christ in our daily lives. The saving words and deeds of Jesus Christ are the foundation of what he would communicate in the Sacraments through the ministers of the Church. Guided by the Holy Spirit, the Church recognizes the existence of Seven Sacraments instituted by the Lord. They are the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist), the Sacraments of Healing (Penance and the Anointing of the Sick), and the Sacraments at the Service of Communion (Marriage and Holy Orders). Through the Sacraments, God shares his holiness with us so that we, in turn, can make the world holier. Sacraments and Social Mission: Living the Gospel, Being Disciples | en Español

The seven sacraments instituted by Christ are as follows:
3 Things you might not know about sacramentals
 In this case, God has given us a sacrament through which we receive the graces (divine help) we need to fulfill our duties. The Compendium of the Catechism, explains this aspect of sacraments as well. Sacramental grace is the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given by Christ and is proper to each sacrament. This grace helps the faithful in their journey toward holiness and so assists the Church as well to grow in charity and in her witness to the world. ( 231)
The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church all find their origin in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and in the Church he founded. The sacraments are not something the Church can change, as they come from Jesus himself. The seven sacraments instituted by Christ are as follows: Baptism
Confirmation
Holy Eucharist
Penance
Anointing of the Sick

In this case, God has given us a sacrament through which we receive the graces (divine help) we need to fulfill our duties. The Compendium of the Catechism, explains this aspect of sacraments as well. Sacramental grace is the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given by Christ and is proper to each sacrament. This grace helps the faithful in their journey toward holiness and so assists the Church as well to grow in charity and in her witness to the world. ( 231)
The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church all find their origin in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and in the Church he founded. The sacraments are not something the Church can change, as they come from Jesus himself. The seven sacraments instituted by Christ are as follows: Baptism
Confirmation
Holy Eucharist

"The word is brought to the material element, and it becomes a sacrament." St. Augustine of Hippo
The traditional definition of a sacrament is: "... a visible sign, instituted by Christ, to give grace." The sacraments: Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Holy Orders, are the center of our life as Christians. Each sacrament allows us to experience the divine touch of Jesus, where he fills our hearts with his light and mercy. The first three sacraments―Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, and Eucharist―are known as the sacraments of initiation. Penance, and Anointing of the Sick come under the sacraments of healing, and lastly, Holy Orders, and Matrimony are categorized under the sacraments of service.

 That is a visible sign. Instituted by Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ instructed His church to offer the seven
sacraments to His followers. For example, His directive to His
disciples in Matthew's Gospel (28/19), "Go then, to all peoples
everywhere and make them my disciples; baptize them in the name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey
everything I have commanded you." To give grace
Grace is God's free gift of Himself as the controlling influence in
our life and the decisions we make once we have committed ourselves
to Him in faith. In summary, a sacrament is one of the means God has chosen to influence our life in the direction of his purpose for giving us life. The seven sacraments are Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation, Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick, and Holy Orders. Baptism
Baptism marks the entry of the believer into the Christian community. Along with Confirmation and Eucharist, it is one of the Sacraments of Initiation, giving access to the full sacramental life of the Church. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and joined with Christ, sharing in His divinity and destined for eternal life.

 This sacrament is confined to those who are critically sick, and who seek the blessing of Jesus to be healed through the forgiveness of sins. This sacrament is conducted by a priest who anoints the person with the blessed oil. He anoints usually on the forehead and hands; however, the place of anointment may change depending upon the nature of sickness. For example, if the illness is related to the sight, then the eyes are anointed. The usage of oil was also administered by the disciples of Christ to heal the sick and cast out demons. HOLY ORDERS
Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. ― Timothy 4:14 (English Standard Version)
Also known as the Ordination, this is the first of the sacrament of service. Although all those who are believers in Christ share the responsibility to serve others in need, there are some who are called by the Almighty to be ordained and fully commit themselves to the service of others under the authority of Christ. Holy Orders include men that are ordained as priests, deacons, or bishops.

 In the Bible, Christ gives his followers clear instructions on how to administer and receive each of the sacraments. This is seen through his work with the Apostles, healing the sick, parables, giving his body and blood to nourish our souls and forgiving sinners. The Church administers these holy sacraments as instructed, in order for all to worship God and receive His salvation. The Sacraments of Initiation
The three sacraments of initiation are baptism, confirmation and Eucharist. Each is meant to strengthen your faith and forge a deeper relationship with God. Baptism frees you from original sin, confirmation strengthens your faith and Eucharist allows you to taste the body and blood of eternal life and be reminded of Christ’s love and sacrifice. Baptism
Baptism is the first sacrament where you become united with Christ and the Church – no other sacrament can be received without it. A priest performs this rite by immersing the baptismal candidate into water, therefore cleansing their original sin through water and the word. The candidate traditionally wears white garments, a candle is lit and they are anointed with sacred chrism. This is the first step in your relationship with God and Christ.

 Bishops (episcopoi) are those who have care of multiple congregations (diocese) and have the task of appointing, ordaining, and disciplining priests and deacons, and shepherding the larger Christian community. They are often called 'evangelists' in the New Testament. Examples of first century bishops include Timothy and Titus (1 Tim. 5:19-22, 2 Tim. 4:5, Titus 1:5). Priests (presbuteroi) are also known as "presbyters" or "elders." In fact, the English term "priest" is simply a contraction of the Greek word "presbuteros." They have the responsibility of teaching, governing, and performing the sacraments in a given congregation (1 Tim. 5:17, Jas. 5:14-15).

As the only remedy for sin, the divine grace of God is experienced by Catholic believers through the seven sacraments – rites instituted by Jesus and practiced by His followers as acts of worship. Just as Jesus is both human and divine, the sacraments are physical signs that give the very divine grace they symbolize. Through the sacraments we receive Jesus. Baptism: As the first and foundational sacrament, Baptism symbolizes the death and resurrection of Christ, incorporating recipients into the Church in a bond of unity. Using water to represent this spiritual rebirth, the recipient is cleansed of sin and adopted into the family of God. Confirmation: This sacrament is the culmination of the process through which the baptized is sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit and strengthened for service to the Body of Christ. Individuals prepare for Confirmation through service to those in need and study of Catholic principles so that at Confirmation, he or she can recommit to participate in the Church’s mission and imitate the love and service of Christ.

Christ instituted all seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church, which touch “all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian’s life of faith” ( CCC 1210 ). As mentioned in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, these seven Sacraments can be placed in and even received in various orders ( with the primary exception being Baptism, which must come first ), but the order mentioned above bears testimony to the fact that the seven Sacraments together constitute an organic whole ( CCC 1211 ). Sacraments of Christian Initiation
The Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, & Eucharist are called the Sacraments of Christian Initiation because upon receiving all three one becomes a full member of the Body of Christ and the Catholic Church. The proper order of reception of these Sacraments are the following: ( 1) Baptism, (2) Confirmation, & (3) Eucharist. With that being said, it has become common practice in the western world to receive the Sacrament of Eucharist prior to receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. However, this practice is due to historical and cultural developments connected to the Sacrament of Confirmation.

What is a sacrament in the Catholic Church?
Sacraments are outward signs instituted by Christ, and entrusted to the Church, to give grace.
Support Aleteia!
 What is a sacrament? The Catechism of the Catholic Church gives a basic definition of a sacrament. The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required dispositions. ( CCC 1131)Sacraments are “powers that comes forth” from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They are “the masterworks of God” in the new and everlasting covenant.(CCC 1116)
One way to talk about the sacraments is to think of them as channels, through which God gives to the faithful particular graces at specific points in their life. We all need help in our walk of life, especially in such areas as marriage. In this case, God has given us a sacrament through which we receive the graces (divine help) we need to fulfill our duties.

Baptism is the first sacrament of the Catholic Church. It is a purifying sacrament of re-birth that marks one’s entry in the Christian community. It cleanses one of sin and joins one with Christ. “Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” ~ Romans 6:3-4
Baptism is essential for salvation. The rite involves pouring water on the believer’s head three times while reciting the Trinitarian formula (“in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”). You may read more about the Trinitarian formula and its use in Baptism at Wikipedia. Confirmation
Confirmation is also called Confession and is referred to as Chrismation in the Eastern Churches.

The traditional definition of a sacrament is this: " A sacrament is a visible sign, instituted by Christ, to give grace." Within this definition there are three important statements: A visible sign
An action is performed by a minister (usually a priest). For example, when a baby is baptized in the church the priest pours
water over its head and at the same time says the words "I baptize
you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." That is a visible sign. Instituted by Christ
The Lord Jesus Christ instructed His church to offer the seven
sacraments to His followers. For example, His directive to His
disciples in Matthew's Gospel (28/19), "Go then, to all peoples
everywhere and make them my disciples; baptize them in the name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and teach them to obey
everything I have commanded you." To give grace
Grace is God's free gift of Himself as the controlling influence in
our life and the decisions we make once we have committed ourselves
to Him in faith.

 Each sacrament brings forth the moment where we can experience the divine touch of Jesus, where he fills our hearts with his purity, light, and mercy. The seven sacraments are divided into three different sections. The first three sacraments― Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, and Eucharist ―are known as the sacraments of initiation. Penance, and Anointing of the Sick come under the sacraments of healing, and lastly, Holy Orders, and Matrimony are categorized under the sacraments of service. These are explained as under. BAPTISM
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. ― Matthew 28:19-20 (English Standard Version)
The first among the seven, and the opening gate of the grace and mercy that we would receive in our entire lifetime, Baptism usually takes place during infancy, although many nonbelievers who wish to accept Christianity later in their life, also undergo this sacrament as adults. We are born with the burden of the eternal sin, but it is only through baptism that our sins are washed away and we are renewed, ready to be a member of Christ’s Church. This ceremony takes place by a priest, where the baby, or the candidate is taken next to the font, and water is poured on him/her, symbolizing of the sins being washed away.

Baptism marks the entry of the believer into the Christian community. Along with Confirmation and Eucharist, it is one of the Sacraments of Initiation, giving access to the full sacramental life of the Church. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and joined with Christ, sharing in His divinity and destined for eternal life.

Sacraments are outward signs instituted by Christ, and entrusted to the Church, to give grace. Catholics often talk about sacraments, but what are they exactly? It can be a confusing term, especially for someone who is not familiar with Catholicism or Christianity. What is a sacrament? The Catechism of the Catholic Church gives a basic definition of a sacrament. The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required dispositions. (

Sacraments of Vocation
Marriage and Ordination
There are two sacraments of vocation in Catholic life, marriage and the ordained ministry. Both vocations, though lived differently, have the same goal of leading people to union with God which is the Kingdom of God. Sacrament of Marriage is the bond of love lived out daily between a husband and wife as they journey together through life as friends, partners, lovers and companions. In addition to supporting one another in loving care, a married couple joins in the creative power of God by bringing forth children into the world. As parents, the husband and wife are called to love, nurture and educate their children in the life of the Catholic faith so that one day these children will be intelligent, responsible and loving adults. Sacrament of Holy Orders, the mission of ordained ministry in the Catholic Church is to serve the Christian community by helping to order its communal life in such a way that the community can be living witness of Jesus Christ in the world. Deacons, priests and bishops, called by God for service to the People of God, dedicate themselves to the building up of the community of Christ who is Himself the head of the Church which is his Mystical Body.

 ~ Matthew 19:4-6
Holy Orders
Through the Sacrament of Holy Orders or Ordination, priests, bishops, or ministers of the Church are ordained. Thus, they receive the sacred power or grace to perform their sacred duties and to act in persona Christi. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ~ Matthew 28:19-20
Anointing of the Sick
Anointing of the Sick was previously known as Extreme Unction or Last Rites. This sacrament is meant for healing physical as well as mental and spiritual ailments. It brings courage, strength, and peace to endure suffering of sickness or old age as a true Christian should. For this, the sick person is anointed with blessed oil.

What is a sacrament in the Catholic Church?
Sacraments are outward signs instituted by Christ, and entrusted to the Church, to give grace.
The seven sacraments instituted by Christ are as follows:
3 Things you might not know about sacramentals
 CCC 1131)
Sacraments are “powers that comes forth” from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They are “the masterworks of God” in the new and everlasting covenant. ( CCC 1116)
One way to talk about the sacraments is to think of them as channels, through which God gives to the faithful particular graces at specific points in their life. We all need help in our walk of life, especially in such areas as marriage. In this case, God has given us a sacrament through which we receive the graces (divine help) we need to fulfill our duties. The Compendium of the Catechism, explains this aspect of sacraments as well. Sacramental grace is the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given by Christ and is proper to each sacrament. This grace helps the faithful in their journey toward holiness and so assists the Church as well to grow in charity and in her witness to the world. ( 231)
The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church all find their origin in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and in the Church he founded.

The Latin word sacramentum means “a sign of the sacred.” The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant and important for Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing God’s saving presence. That’s what theologians mean when they say that sacraments are at the same time signs and instruments of God’s grace. If you learn more about the sacraments, you can celebrate them more fully. To learn more about the individual sacraments, please follow the links below. To arrange to receive a Sacrament, please contact the St. Thomas Main Office. Baptism
For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church’s way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God. Click to learn more about the Sacrament of Baptism >>

 The Catholic Catechism includes actions, words, and artifacts to make the grace a physical reality. The words and actions of each sacrament, along with the physical artifacts used (such as bread and wine, holy water, or anointed oil), are representations of the underlying spiritual reality of the sacrament and "make present… the grace that they signify." These outward signs help parishioners understand what is happening when they receive the sacraments. Seven Sacraments
There are seven sacraments which are practiced in the Catholic church. Three are about initiation into the church (baptism, confirmation, and communion), two are about healing (confession and anointing of the sick), and two are sacraments of service (marriage and holy orders). The expression "instituted by Christ" means that each of the sacraments administered to the faithful recalls events in the New Testament by Christ or his followers that correspond to each sacrament. Through the various sacraments, the Catechism states that parishioners are not only granted the graces that they signify; they are drawn into the mysteries of Christ's own life. Here are examples from the New Testament with each of the sacraments: Baptism celebrates the first initiation of an individual into the church, whether as an infant or as an adult.

 The phrase ex opere operato, which means “from the work worked”, is usually used in context to the Holy sacraments, so as to substantiate the efficacy of these, in terms of both matter and form. This means that a sacrament is considered to be independent of the merits of the minister or the recipient. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) states the following in reference to the seven sacraments: “ The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments. There are seven sacraments in the Church: Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony .” The following section explains these sacraments and their meanings individually. The Seven Catholic Sacraments and Their Significance
The sacraments listed below are crucial in the life of each and every Catholic. They were written and enacted in the documents of the Council of Trent (1545-1563). These are believed to be instituted by Jesus Christ himself, and thereby, entrusted to the Church so that all its members must live in Christ and partake in his grace and love.

The phrase ex opere operato, which means “from the work worked”, is usually used in context to the Holy sacraments, so as to substantiate the efficacy of these, in terms of both matter and form.

 What is a sacrament? The Catechism of the Catholic Church gives a basic definition of a sacrament. The sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required dispositions. ( CCC 1131)
Sacraments are “powers that comes forth” from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They are “the masterworks of God” in the new and everlasting covenant. ( CCC 1116)
One way to talk about the sacraments is to think of them as channels, through which God gives to the faithful particular graces at specific points in their life. We all need help in our walk of life, especially in such areas as marriage.

Eucharist
Confirmation
Reconciliation
Anointing of the sick

 While the sacraments in the Catholic Church are regarded as means of Divine Grace, The Catholic definition of a sacrament is an event in Christian life that is both spiritual and physical. The seven Catholic sacraments have been separated into three groups. The first three Sacraments of Initiation are Baptism, Communion, and Confirmation. The two Healing Sacraments are Anointing of the Sick and Penance. The two Sacraments of Vocation are Matrimony and Holy Orders. The Church teaches that the effect of the sacraments comes ex opere operato, by the very fact of being administered, regardless of the personal holiness of the minister administering it. However, as indicated in this definition of the sacraments given by the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a recipient's own lack of proper disposition to receive the grace conveyed can block a sacrament's effectiveness in that person. The sacraments presuppose faith and, through their words and ritual elements, nourish, strengthen and give expression to faith. Though not every individual has to receive every sacrament, the Church affirms that for believers the sacraments are necessary for salvation. Through each of them, Christ bestows that sacrament's particular healing and transforming grace of the Holy Spirit, making them participants in the divine nature through union with Christ.

If a parent was asked, “What sign or gesture would you use to show your child that you loved him or her?”, the most common answer would be “I would give them a nice hug”. But how would God our Father show His love for us - His children? God cannot physically hug us. It is through the sacraments that God can show his love to us. Catholic Sacraments are a sign of God’s love for us. Through the sacraments God shows us that he is always with us, and that he wants to embrace us when we are hurt. Through the sacraments of the Eucharist and the mass, God shows His love, by giving his only son Jesus to us. Through the sacrament of penance, God our father embraces us with love, compassion and forgiveness in the same manner as the prodigal son, who was embraced by his loving father.

There are seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, which according to Catholic theology were instituted by Jesus and entrusted to the Church. Sacraments are visible rites seen as signs and efficacious channels of the grace of God to all those who receive them with the proper disposition. The sevenfold list of sacraments is often organized into three categories: the sacraments of initiation (into the Church, the body of Christ ), consisting of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist; the sacraments of healing, consisting of Penance and Anointing of the Sick; and the sacraments of service:

 Ordination
Ordination, or Holy Orders, is a sacrament that is available only to men who are being ordained as deacons, priests, or bishops. As with Baptism and Confirmation, the sacrament is said to convey a special indelible “character” on the soul of the recipient. During the rite, which typically occurs during a special Sunday mass, a prayer and blessing is offered as a bishop lays his hands on the head of the man being ordained. In the case of the ordination of priests and bishops, this act confers the sacramental power to ordain (for bishops), baptize, confirm, witness marriages, absolve sins, and consecrate the Eucharist. Deacons can baptize, witness marriages, preach, and assist during the mass, but they cannot consecrate the Eucharist or hear confessions. With the exception of married deacons, an order restored by the Second Vatican Council, all ordained men are to be celibate.

Main article: Sacraments (Catholic Church)
Sacraments in the Catholic Church are efficacious signs, perceptible to the senses, of grace. According to the Church's theology, they have been instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, and through them divine life is bestowed on us. They are means by which Christ gives the particular grace indicated by the sign aspect of the sacrament in question, helping the individual to advance in holiness, and contributing to the Church' s growth in charity and in giving witness. Not every individual receives every sacrament, but the Catholic Church sees the sacraments as necessary means of salvation for the faithful, conferring each sacrament's particular grace, whether forgiveness of sins, adoption as children of God, confirmation to Christ and the Church. The effect of the sacraments comes ex opere operato (by the very fact of being administered). Regardless of the personal holiness of the minister administering the sacraments, Christ provides the graces of which they are signs. However, a recipient's own lack of proper disposition to receive the grace conveyed can block their effectiveness in that person. The sacraments presuppose faith and, in addition, their words and ritual elements nourish, strengthen and give expression to faith. [

 Catholics put more emphasis on the Virgin Mary (Jesus's mother) than many other Christians, calling her the "Mother of God," "The Queen of Heaven," and praying to her regularly, as "Mediatrix of graces" at a level higher than other saints. Sacraments
The Catholic Church celebrates seven sacraments. A sacrament is "an outward sign instituted (started) by Christ to give grace" (a supernatural gift of God that someone did nothing to deserve). The seven sacraments are: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Holy Matrimony (marriage). The Holy Eucharist is the most important of the sacraments, because Catholics believe that Jesus Christ becomes truly present in the form of bread and wine. This happens through transubstantiation which takes place in the Mass.
Catholics believe in the necessity of love, hope and faith in order to gain salvation, but that these all come from grace. This is different from the 16th century interpretation created by Luther. Catholics interpret the Bible (God-given book) according to Tradition. Tradition is the transmission of the early church's life and teaching, as especially recorded in the writings of the Fathers of the Church who lived in the first centuries.

 Do you know what they do? These are important questions that every Catholic should be able to answer. If it's a bit fuzzy or confusing, here is a short primer that lays out the big picture of our relationship to the sacraments and what they do for us. WHAT IS A SACRAMENT? A sacrament is an outward sign of an invisible spiritual reality. Because humans are a unity of a physical body and a spiritual soul, God uses the means of physical objects and rituals to convey spiritual truths that we cannot detect using our senses. This outward sign functions as a channel through which God imparts sanctifying grace into the soul. The sacraments are seven in number and have their source in the saving work of Jesus in his passion, death, and resurrection, and were established by Him for the sanctification of every member of His Church. Sacraments are external rites performed by the Church that we experience both physically and mystically. Through them God imparts actual divine grace (participation in the divine life of the Holy Trinity) which enters into our soul and transforms (sanctifies) us, helping us to live a life pleasing to God so that we can spend eternity with him in heaven.

The sacraments are seven in number and have their source in the saving work of Jesus in his passion, death, and resurrection, and were established by Him for the sanctification of every member of His Church. Sacraments are external rites performed by the Church that we experience both physically and mystically. Through them God imparts actual divine grace (participation in the divine life of the Holy Trinity) which enters into our soul and transforms (sanctifies) us, helping us to live a life pleasing to God so that we can spend eternity with him in heaven.

 A sacrament is "an outward sign instituted (started) by Christ to give grace" (a supernatural gift of God that someone did nothing to deserve). The seven sacraments are: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Holy Matrimony (marriage). The Holy Eucharist is the most important of the sacraments, because Catholics believe that Jesus Christ becomes truly present in the form of bread and wine. This happens through transubstantiation which takes place in the Mass.
Catholics believe in the necessity of love, hope and faith in order to gain salvation, but that these all come from grace. This is different from the 16th century interpretation created by Luther. Catholics interpret the Bible (God-given book) according to Tradition. Tradition is the transmission of the early church's life and teaching, as especially recorded in the writings of the Fathers of the Church who lived in the first centuries. At that time the holy books where accepted in the Bible, which is the collection of the books considered revealed. A basic rule for Catholics is that "Truth cannot contradict truth".

 The Catechism of the Catholic Church briefly summarizes the importance of these sacraments. The sacraments of Christian initiation — Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist — lay the foundations of every Christian life. “ The sharing in the divine nature given to men through the grace of Christ bears a certain likeness to the origin, development, and nourishing of natural life. The faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life. By means of these sacraments of Christian initiation, they thus receive in increasing measure the treasures of the divine life and advance toward the perfection of charity.” Currently most children in the Roman rite receive these sacraments over a period of several years, while adult converts receive all three at the same time. This reflects an early Church tradition of initiating adults into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil, where they were baptized, confirmed and received the Eucharist. This tradition of celebrating all three sacraments at the same time is also retained by Eastern Christians, who administer the sacraments of initiation to both infants and adults. If someone wants to become a full member of the Catholic Church, these three sacraments complete Christian initiation and usher the individual into the heart of the Church. Read more:

THE FOUNDATIONAL BELIEFS OF CATHOLICISM
Catholicism is the foundational Christian tradition and has a direct line of apostolic succession to Christ himself. We believe God, in His divine wisdom, created the heavens and the earth and everything in them. Mankind was created as good, but sin entered the world through our choices and created a distance between us and God only overcome by the grace and love of Jesus Christ, the son of God. Because Jesus is both divine and human, He alone can be our Savior, reconciling us with God. He accomplishes this by becoming one of us, dying for our sins on the cross, rising from the dead, and uniting us to Him in His life, death, and resurrection. THE SACRAMENTS
As the only remedy for sin, the divine grace of God is experienced by Catholic believers through the seven sacraments – rites instituted by Jesus and practiced by His followers as acts of worship. Just as Jesus is both human and divine, the sacraments are physical signs that give the very divine grace they symbolize. Through the sacraments we receive Jesus. Baptism: As the first and foundational sacrament, Baptism symbolizes the death and resurrection of Christ, incorporating recipients into the Church in a bond of unity.

Holy orders
Through the sacrament of holy orders, or ordination, a man vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. He promises to do this by proclaiming the Gospel and by providing to Catholics other means to achieve holiness. In order to be ordained a priest, a man must be first ordained a deacon. Ordination
In Catholicism, holy orders is the sacrament by which men are ordained as priests or deacons. It is a sacrament carried out by a bishop, who must lay his hands on the candidate. Taking holy orders is a commitment for life both to God and to the Catholic Church, as the man is given certain powers, including passing on God’s forgiveness of sins. The following is a prayer said at the ordination of a priest: quote
Lord, holy Father, …  when you had appointed high priests to rule your people,  you chose other men next to them in rank and dignity  to be with them and to help them in their task…  you extended the spirit of Moses to seventy wise men. …

 The one thing that binds them all together is that they were established by Christ. 1) Baptism. This makes you a member of the community, of your parish family. It’s the first sacrament of initiation. 2) Reconciliation. Also called Confession, this sacrament helps reconcile you to God through confession of one’s sins, repentance, and pennance. 3) Eucharist. Also called Communion, this sacrament feeds our souls. We Catholics believe in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It’s the second sacrament of initiation.

David G Bonagura, Jr.
 Understanding the Church as sacrament readily presents the Church’s mission in light of her simultaneous vertical and horizontal orientations while stalling temptations to debate power structures. The Church perpetuates Christ’s saving mission in the world. Like the seven liturgical sacraments, the Church is both a sign and an instrument of God’s grace. As sign the Church points the faithful, by her very constitution, toward communion with God and neighbor in this life and eternal union forever in the next. As instrument the Church makes communion with God possible by means of the gifts given to her by Christ: her doctrine, laws, and sacraments. The Church, then, is the sacrament of Christ: she makes His work of salvation visible and accessible to human beings. Thus the Church functions analogously to the seven liturgical sacraments: she leads us to a share in God’s life and union with Christ.

 Confession - the priest helps Catholic Christians to confess. They must say sorry and promise to change their ways. Satisfaction - the priest sets a task or suggests prayers to be said in order to achieve forgiveness. This is sometimes called 'penance'. Absolution - release from the feeling of guilt.

When satisfaction is given, the priest gives the confessor a task that should, in some way, make up for the sin they have committed and to which they have confessed. For example, they might be told to return stolen goods. Penance requires … the sinner to endure all things willingly, be contrite of heart, confess with the lips, and practice complete humility and fruitful satisfaction. (

 the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper. It is in the sacraments that some of the most important of Luther's reforms are to be found. Certainly for congregants the changes he instituted, which flowed from his theology, would have affected their lives profoundly. A sacrament is an action in which God's grace is especially present. Roman Catholics have seven: baptism, confirmation, confession, Lord's Supper, marriage, ordination, and last rites. For a number of reasons, Luther cut this list down to the two sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper. Luther believed that, to be a sacrament, a ritual had to be explicitly instituted for the church by Jesus in the gospels. Jesus does tell his disciples to go and baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19), and at the Last Supper as he breaks bread he tells them to "do this in remembrance of me" (Luke 22:19). Other rituals, while important, do not meet these criteria.

Jesus does tell his disciples to go and baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19), and at the Last Supper as he breaks bread he tells them to "do this in remembrance of me" (Luke 22:19). Other rituals, while important, do not meet these criteria.

The Seven Sacraments
 It's the celebrations that are repeated, and in each celebration there's an outpouring of the Holy Spirit that makes the unique mystery present. The Seven Sacraments
The seven sacraments are: baptism, confirmation, reconciliation, the Eucharist, the anointing of the sick, matrimony, and holy orders. The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life. They give birth and increase healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There's a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life. They accompany us from birth through youth and maturity until we part from this world.

 Seven sacraments are celebrated within the Community: the Eucharist, generally called the Act of Consecration of Man, and six other sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, The Last Anointing, Sacramental Consultation (replacing Confession ), and Ordination. There is also a special Sunday service for children of school age. Rituals and sacraments are the same wherever they are celebrated. Services are generally celebrated in the language of the country in which they celebrated. The Act of Consecration of Man lasts approximately one hour. Sunday services are longer than weekday services because they contain a sermon in addition to holy communion. For the sacramental wine used in communion non-fermented grape juice is used rather than alcoholic wine. Three Christmas services are celebrated, one on December 24 (at midnight) and two on December 25.

Sacramentals - About Catholics Sacramentals
Sacramentals
Prinicipal Sacramentals
 Older definitions referred to sacramentals as objects and actions usually “done by” the clergy. This newer definition identifies sacramentals as dynamic signs used in celebration. They are first and foremost liturgical actions in which the faithful are asked to participate. ( Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy). Thus, holy water, ashes, palms, candles and other examples serve legitimate liturgical purposes that serve as elements that enhance individual and communal prayer. Other sacramentals, such as rosaries and medals, are not used in a specifically liturgical context, but they do remind individuals of God’s presence in their lives and calls them to prayer. Liturgical prayers and rites used in administering the sacraments, funerals, exorcisms, blessings of people, consecrations, and blessings of objects are also included as sacramentals. Sacramentals are distinguished from sacraments in that they have been instituted by the Church and do not find their origin in Christ. They exist in order to make holy almost every event in the lives of believers and, like the sacraments, draw their power from the Paschal Mystery. They also the underscore the Church’s deeply held conviction that all of creation is a potential medium for the revelation of god’s presence and blessing.

Sacraments are Signs
Sacraments are always the union of words, signs and actions. In human life, we express spiritual realities through physical signs and symbols. We need signs and symbols to communicate with others. We draw a heart when we want to express love. We shake hands when we want to offer our friendship. The use of symbols is a necessary form of communication. God also speaks to us through his visible creation. Sacraments are woven from signs and symbols: water (washing), oil (anointing), bread and wine (sharing at the table), etc.,
