The 7 Sacraments (The Holy Mysteries)

The 7 Sacraments (The Holy Mysteries)
Baptism
Confirmation (Chrismation)
Eucharist
Penance (Confession, Reconciliation)
Matrimony
Holy Orders
Extreme Unction (Annointing of the Sick)

Notes:
A Sacrament is defined as "an outward sign of inward grace" which was instituted by Christ Himself and receives its power from God, through the merits of Christ.

Baptism and Penance are known as the "Sacraments of the Dead" because before receiving them when needed, we are dead in sin.

Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders, and Matrimony are known as the "Sacraments of the Living" because one must be in a state of grace to receive them licitly and receive their fruits; they give additional grace to souls already spiritually alive.

Matrimony and Holy Orders are known as the "Social Sacraments" because they are designed primarily for the benefit of society and confer a social status.

Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders are the three Sacraments which leave an indelible mark on the recipient's soul and can never be repeated.

See you later then. I know we have talked about this before.

I know that I have told you before in a post about how beautiful was my mother’s Annointing of the Sick about a week before she died.

Last month, we attended a family reunion with many of my cousins. While there, one of my sisters and I told the story to one of my cousins whose mother was in failing health. That cousin and her siblings lost their mother last week, but they, too, were able to gather around their mother one last time as she was annointed. And, like us, experienced great joy in their sorrow because of the sacrament.

It is so precious — so wonderful a sacrament.

Think of all the people that Christ healed as they were dying. The blind man, the hemmoraging woman, the Widow of Nain’s son — God’s doing, not Christ.

The paralytic lowered by his friends in front of Jesus. There are many others.

I especially liked reading “The 3 Levels of Reverence” and I think it clarifies the honor we give to saints, the greater honor we give to Mary as the greatest saint, and the devotion which belongs to God alone.

Saint Christopher is one of my favorite saints. I always ask him to join me when saying the rosary while driving.

Thank you for posting the Saint Michael Chaplet.

We probably will again :-)

From your previous post — you said something about having to leave for a while. I was just trying to be polite.

[T Minus Four]

And you are polite - as always :-) But now I’m off to bed. Good night!
