The Sacraments

The Sacraments

The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the Sacraments instituted by Christ. The seven Sacraments in the Church are: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. Each are signs, given to us by Christ himself, give us grace and bring us closer to the Lord.

Sacraments are "powers that comes forth" from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They are "the masterworks of God" in the new and everlasting covenant. All of the faithful are encouraged to partake of these Sacraments to receive the grace that God intended for them to bestow.
