to give divine life
(to make us holy)

SACRAMENT OF
CHRISTIAN INITIATION
The sacraments of Christian initiation –
Baptism, Confirmation and the Holy
Eucharist – lay the foundations of every
Christian life. “The sharing in the divine
nature given to men through the grace
of Christ bears a certain likeness to the
origin, development, and nourishing of
natural life. The faithful are born anew
by Baptism, strengthened by the
sacrament of Confirmation, and receive
in the Eucharist the food of eternal life.
By means of these sacraments of
Christian initiation, they thus receive in
increasing measure the treasures of the
divine life and advance toward the
perfection of charity.” (CCC 1212)
I baptize you (name) in the
name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit
Amen.

Jesus took bread, said a blessing,
broke it, and gave it to His

this is my body”. Then He took
the cup and gave thanks and
passed it to them saying “Drink Sacrament

blood, the blood of the new
covenant, which is poured out for HOLY
many for the forgiveness of sins”. EUCHARIST

SACRAMENT OF
HEALING
Through the sacraments of Christian initiation, man receives the
new life of Christ. Now we carry this life “in earthen vessels,” and
it remains “hidden with Christ in God.” We are still in our “earthly
tent,” subject to suffering, illness, and death. This new life as a
child of God can weakened and even lost by sin (CCC 1420)
The Lord Jesus Christ, physician of our souls and bodies, who
forgave the sins of the paralytic and restored him to bodily
health, has willed that his Church continue, in the power of the
Holy Spirit, his work of healing and salvation, even among her
own members.

Holy Spirit; for
those whose
sins you

SACRAMENT OF SERVICE
AND COMMANDMENT
Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission
entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in
the Church until the end of time: thus it is the sacrament of
apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate,
presbyterate, and diaconate. (CCC 1536)
The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman

establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of
life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses
and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant
between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord
to the dignity of a sacrament (CCC 1601)
“ Because of
this, a man
shall leave his
father and
mother and be
united with his
wife and the
two shall
become one
flesh...”

We are constantly challenged to mature and grow in
our Christian life. Our faith experience must be
nurtured so that we can be transformed into the image
of Jesus.
Faith must translate into virtues that form the
foundation of Christian living. Every Christian is called
to respond and cooperate with God’s invitation of
salvation.
As a believes, we must seek to know God more
intimately and therefore more deeply and thus strive to
live a holy life. This means putting aside our personal
desires and letting God be the center of our life.
For this reason we do our best to add goodness to our
faith; to our goodness add knowledge; to our
knowledge add self-control, to our endurance ad
godliness, to our godliness add brotherly affection and
love (2 Peter 1:5-7)
