Sacraments
|
The 7 important sacraments we teach here are Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Anointing of the sick, Marriage, and Holy orders. Each offer a unique insight and should be studied individually. During baptism, it is believed that God's saving grace enters the human soul. It is usually performed with a priest where he says "I baptize you in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirity" and pours water over the persons head. This is a sacrament of salvation and opens the door for the other sacraments. When someone partakes in the Eucharist, they recieve the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through bread and wine. Confirmation is said to seal the gift of the Holy Spirit within a person. Reconciliation is a time of confessing one's sins and building a stronger relationship with God.
