The Seven Sacraments of the Roman Catholic Chruch

The sacrament of Baptism is the first sacrament. It is the sacrament of initiation. The faithful are born anew by Baptism. In Baptism, the baptized are freed of Original Sin and reborn into a new life of Christ. Original Sin is the sin given to all due to Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve took food from the tree in the Garden of Eden even though God instructed them not to take fruit from the tree. This was a sin and later was became known as Original Sin.

“Then God cursed the serpent, and banished him from the Garden. He gave clothes to Adam and Eve, saying, “Now that know both good and evil, you must leave Eden. You cannot s

After receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation, you may now receive the sacrament of the Eucharist. The sacrament of the Eucharist is the receiving of the Body and Blood of Christ. This process reminds us of the Last Supper in which Jesus gave himself to his disciples.

Once you have received the Eucharist for the first time you attend mass on Sunday’s to receive it again. If you miss a Sunday you must attend Reconciliation before receiving the Eucharist again. The only rule in receiving the Eucharist is that you must be Catholic and have been baptized in the Catholic Church.

The next sacrament is the sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation is the Sacrament by which we, after being born again in Baptism, now receive the Holy Spirit, the gift of the Father and the Son. The bishop is the minister of this sacrament unlike the past three sacraments where it is a priest who is the minister.

To baptize (Greek baptizein) is to “plunge” or “immerse”; the “plunge” into the water symbolizes the catechumen’s burial into Christ’s death, from which he rises up by resurrection with him, as a “new creature.”

The ceremony of the Baptism for Christ was in the Jordan River. It was performed by John the Baptist. At the baptism, both Christ and John were in the river. John poured water over Christ’s forehead and baptized him in “The name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

The final sacrament is a sacrament of Healing. It is the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. The Church believes and confesses that among the seven sacraments there is one especially intended to strengthen those who are being tried by illness, the Anointing of the Sick. For this sacrament, a priest blesses a person who is deathly ill, administers them their final Eucharist, allows them to have Confession, and places a cross on their forehead with sacred chrism.

The mass is the consecration and thanksgiving of the Eucharist. After receiving the Body and Blood of Christ you pray in thanksgiving for what God has provided you with. Catholic’s believe that the bread and wine used in th
