The Seven Sacraments

There are seven sacraments of the Catholic Church. According to the Catholic religion,

these signs were instituted by Jesus and entrusted to the Church as wonderful gifts for us

all. Each sacrament is Jesus continuing His ministry through the Church. What Jesus did

on earth He still does through the sacraments.

Sacrament means ‘mystery’, the mystery in this case being something that is known only to

God.

The sacraments are an efficacious sign of grace.

Efficacious means ‘effective’, Catholics believe that the sacraments are effective in that

they do what they say they do. Quite simply, they believe that they work.

Sign refers to earthly objects, words and gestures and even beyond that, to God and His

grace.

Grace means ‘God’s free gift of His presence, His help and His salvation’.

The sacraments are an efficacious sign of grace.

The Church likes to separate the sacraments into three groups:

Initiation

Healing

Serving the Church

INITIATION

BAPTISM CONFIRMATION THE EUCHARIST also known as the Last Supper

or Holy communion

Catholics believe that all of us

have original sin, even babies.

During baptism, water is poured

over the head, usually three

times, whilst the minister recites

“I baptize you in the name of the

Father and of the Son and of the

Holy Spirit”. Baptism welcomes

the newborn into the Church and

cleanses them of original sin.

Confirming one’s dedication to

God and the Church usually

takes place once an individual is

old enough to understand what is

being said - usually in early

adulthood. Those who are being

confirmed must be free from sin

and have confessed all known

sins to a minister and be in a

state of grace. Confirmation

can only be received once.

The Eucharist, (which was

instituted in the Last Supper by

Jesus) is the act of taking bread

and wine. Catholics believe that

the bread is the body of Christ

and the wine is His blood. Only

individuals who have confessed

their sins can receive

communion.

SERVING THE CHURCH

MATRIMONY/MARRIAGE HOLY ORDERS

The Catholic Church believes that marriage is

sacred and necessary, it does not recognize

divorce. Through marriage, the couple become a

partnership, hopefully to bear children. They

remain married until one of them dies.

Holy orders is the where a man rises up through

the priesthood and dedicates himself to the

Church. It is ‘holy’ because it has a sacred

character and it is ‘ordered’ because of the

structure that it forms. There are three degrees

to the Holy Orders with increasing levels of

responsibility:

Deacon

Priest

Bishop

HEALING

PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION ANOINTING OF THE SICK

Those who confess their sins to a priest, with no

desire to commit them again, are absolved of all

sin. Priests must maintain totally secrecy of any

confessions spoken to them.

Here the priest can anoint the sick with blessed

oils. Anybody who is in danger of illness or old

age and who may pass away without a priest

present can receive the Last Rites by any member

of the Church.
