What are Catholic sacraments?
The sacraments in the Catholic Church are defined as a symbol of the matter and the matter itself. There are seven sacraments. The sacraments are different blessings, promises and activities that are considered the most holy and most sacred. Participation in different sacraments should bring someone closer to God.
Seven sacraments are baptism, Eucharist or holy communion, reconciliation, confirmation, marriage, holy orders and anointing the sick or the last ceremonies. Most practical Catholics will not participate in all sacraments. For example, accepting saints of orders basically excludes marriage.
The latest ceremonies are often considered prayers before the Catholic die, but the sacrament is actually called the anointing of the patients. A person can gain this sacrament more than once if he is sick and recovered. Not all Catholics will receive anointing for the sick, and this is one of the sacraments that cause confusion. Dying without the last rites does not mean that one is expelled from the sky.
instead of this sacrament blessedPerson and calls to Christ's healing forces. It is also intended to comfort those who are sick and their families, reminiscent of all the presence, that they have more than a physical body, and that life in one or another form is eternal through the love of Jesus Christ.
The first of the sacraments that are usually accepted is baptism. This usually occurs within a few months of the child's birth. The baptism for the newborn should welcome the child to the Catholic Church and it is also a promise that the child will be raised as a Catholic. He no longer believes that children are not welcome in heaven.
great emphasis in baptism was placed on rinsing of the original sin or throwing potential evil in a child. Now, more emphasis is based on the sacrament of the child's obligation to the church. The same applies to adults who were not baptized as children. It is time to officially become part of the Church.
For a baptized child, Eucharist and reconciliation, sacraments are often acceptedTogether when the child reaches the age of seven or eight years. Reconciliation is usually the first sacrament. This is known for most of the world as a confession.
A person who makes a sincere admission of a priest is exempt from the sins committed. Once a sincere confession is made, one has a clean slate. The confession was more frequent in the US and has now disappeared into popularity.
Holy communion or Eucharist occurs when people take bread of Christ and Christ's wine. This is symbolic and very real for Catholic. By participating in the community, the person literally takes Christ into himself.
Confirmation occurred in children aged about 13 or 14 years. Unconfirmed Catholic is no less Catholic. The Holy Spirit is often called baptism. It repeats the baptism ritual, but is also a confirmation of a person who is consciously committed to Catholicism.
marriage or holy orders are considered to be sacraments and are a sacred blessing of the Church. Marriage connects with two people inThe eyes of the Church and the blessing of Christ. It is a very serious commitment to endure life. Divorce in the Catholic Church is difficult when people participate in the sacrament of marriage because the Union is considered holy.
Holy commands are promises that serve the Church as priests or deacons. These are again serious promises. Marriage and holy orders are considered the sacraments of the profession. They are a statement of how man is called to serve the Church. Some are called by marriage to serve the Church as good spouses and wives. The other were called to serve the Church directly as the ministers of the people.
