The Holy Church was started around a central mystery. It is a mystery that gives the people who constitute the Church hope and fill their hearts with compassion. This figure is what we look up to, as Catholics, and model our lives after. The Holy Trinity is the center of our Catholic existence, and this made clear by an examination of the sacramental life of the Church. In this essay, I will be concentrating on the Sacraments of Initiation.
We as people constitute the Body of Christ as the members of His Church. We were created in Christ’s image and put here on earth to live for him. He lives through us and our actions. The Body of the Church is for the Lord and the Lord is for the body. Our bodies work in somewhat of the same way Jesus Christ’s body worked. He was created in the image of God the father; the Son is the image of the Father and is the image from which we were created:
…though He was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited,
being born in human likeness. (Philippians 2: 6-7)
We are created in Christ’s image to give of ourselves to Him and model our lives and actions after Him.

Below are additional random excerpts from the paper...
The third of the sacraments of initiation is Confirmation. Through this sacrament our Baptismal grace is completed and one becomes an “adult” in the Church.
We more fully become united with the Holy Trinity, in doing that confirmation does the same that all the sacraments help us to do. Through Penance we receive God’s grace and are absolved of our wrong doings and become more like His image. Through Penance we see God’s forgiving and merciful nature which should be modeled by us in our lives and all that we do. In Holy Orders some of us are configured in a special way to the image of Christ and the Holy Trinity. This sacrament shows a union with Christ and a commitment by an individual to devote everything He does in life on earth to the Lord. Through Marriage we are living out God’s call to “be fruitful”. We are creating more humans in his image and thus making greater his love. Finally through Anointing of the Sick we receive final grace and are prepared to become united with Christ completely before death.
Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: ‘Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water and in the word.’ (CCC 312)
Through the Holy Spirit we can perform these miraculous “masterworks of God” and become united with Christ, which in turn unites us with the Holy Trinity.
Baptism is a strongly uniting sacrament. It
