Each sacrament provides us with grace with the life of God in our souls. Eucharist is one of the essential sacraments in the church because it is a way of literally bonding with Christ Himself, as He is truly present under the appearance of bread and wine.…

    4 Marks of the Church

    • 1095 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The first mark that distinguishes the Roman Catholic Church from other Churches is the Church being one. The Church being one pertains to being a unified community. The Church being one means that the Roman Catholic Church is one body of Christ that functions as a unit, which means, that if one does not do its function, all the other people of the Church would fail to function properly because they all belong to a single body. It also means that the Church believes in one God, and that there is one Lord, one faith and one baptism. Though people belonging to the Roman Catholic Church belongs to different nations, are of different vocations, have different talents and follows different cultures, the diversity found in this church does not prevent the people to act as one community where there is harmonious unity. This oneness is also visible in the Church’s creed and other teachings, and so as in the celebration of the sacraments. Basically the Roman Catholic Church is considered one because of three reasons, namely, its source, its founder, and because of its soul. The Church is said to be one because of its source…

    To gain a clear understating of the sacraments and the signs and symbols associated with them a brief summary is vital. Baptism (water) is necessary to salvation, because without it we cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. Reconciliation or Penance is a Sacrament in which the sins committed after Baptism is forgiven. The Holy Eucharist is the Sacrament which contains the body and blood, soul of our Lord Jesus Christ under the appearances of bread and wine. Confirmation is a Sacrament through which we receive the Holy Spirit to make us strong and perfect Christians. The Sacrament of Matrimony is the Sacrament which unites a Christian man and woman in lawful marriage. Holy Orders is the sacrament that bishops, priests, and other ministers of the Church are ordained and receive the power and grace to perform their sacred duties. To receive Holy Orders worthily it is necessary to be in the state of grace, to have the necessary knowledge and a divine call to this sacred office. Anointing of the sick is the Sacrament which, through the anointing and prayer of a priest, gives health and strength to the soul, and sometimes to the body, when…

    The 7 Sacraments

    • 1132 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The Catechism of the Catholic Church lists the sacraments as follows: "The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments. There are seven sacraments in the Church: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony." The sacraments are symbols. A symbol is a sign (an outward reality) that represents an invisible (spiritual) reality, totality different from signs. Signs can be defined as “anything that points to something else and symbols as special signs that convey deep meanings”. The deeper meaning of symbols like sacraments calls fourth both conscious and unconscious feelings and thoughts. Baptism, Confirmation and The Eucharist are all sacraments of initiation through which the person becomes a full member of the Church. Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick are sacraments of healing. They are concerned with receiving forgiveness, strength and healing. Marriage and Holy Orders are sacraments of ministry, ways in which we are called by God. These two sacraments are looked at elsewhere.…

    Essay On Sacraments

    • 775 Words
    • 4 Pages

    When we go to Church and see sacraments like Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation we question: what is happening, why is it happening, who does it affect, and how does it affect the giver and the receiver. To have all these questions answered, we must first address the question of what is a sacrament. The sacraments are efficacious signs in our lives and are a physical representation of God’s invisible grace in our lives. Sacraments are divided into multiple relationships that once put together complete the true purpose of a sacrament which is to transmit God’s grace. These relationships are: how the sacraments relate to our faith life, how Christ is a sacrament, how the Church is a sacrament, how the sacraments affect us personally, how the sacraments affect the community as a whole, and how the sacraments affect us in our relationships with others. Jesus and the Church are the creators of the sacraments, the sacraments are messages of God passed down by the Church, and from the Church we receive the sacraments and are able to communicate and try to understand God’s divine nature through the physical form of sacraments which we can…

    My Baptism

    The Sacrament of Baptism is often called "The door of the Church," because it is the first of the seven sacraments not only in time (since most Catholics receive it as infants) but in priority, since the reception of the other sacraments depends on it. It is the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation, the other two being the Sacrament of Confirmation and the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Once baptized, a person becomes a member of the Church. Traditionally, the rite (or ceremony) of baptism was held outside the doors of the main part of the church, to signify this fact.…
