Baptism is the
purification of the soul
by being dipped in
water. It cleans the
person being baptized
and allows him or her to
be anointed with sacred
chrism.
BAPTISM
During confirmation, the Holy
Spirit is sent by Jesus to lay a
hand upon the forehead of the
recipient and give to them the
seven gifts of the Holy Spirit:
wisdom, understanding,
counsel, fortitude, knowledge,
piety, and fear of the Lord.
CONFIRMATION
The Eucharist is the
symbolic Last Supper of
Jesus Christ. Those
participating in it eat
wheat bread and drink
grape whine, which the
priest consecrates so
that they become the
body and blood of Christ.
HOLY EUCHARIST
Also known as
Confession, it involves
three steps: the
penitent's contrition or
sorrow for his sins, the
actual confession to a
priest and absolution,
and then penance or
restitution for his sins.
PENANCE
Otherwise known as the
Anointing of the Sick, this is
a ritual given to seriously ill
Christians to help them to
accept sickness as a
purifying cross sent by God
and give them the grace
even to accept death if that
is God's will.
EXTREME UNCTION
The Holy Orders are
when someone devotes
their life to God by
becoming a brother, nun,
deacon, priest, bishop,
cardinal, or even the
pope.
ORDERS
Matrimony, or marriage,
is the holy, natural union
between two (or more)
people. The basic goal
of marriage is to create
children and, in some
cases, create a political
or social alliance.
MATRIMONY
