The Seven Sacraments
Bishop Steinbock continued, "The seven sacraments are:
|
1 |
the waters of baptism; |
|
2 |
being nourished through the communion; |
|
3 |
being confirmed and strengthened in our faith; |
|
4 |
the sacrament of penance — confession as it’s called — to enable us to realize the loving forgiveness and mercy of the Lord Jesus in our lives that we may begin anew; |
|
5 |
the sacrament of matrimony where two people become a visible sign of the very love of God to their relationship, one with another; |
|
6 |
the sacrament of Holy Orders where a man becomes a priest, again through the signs of laying on of hands by the Bishop to continue the whole sense of bringing God’s forgiveness, through the sacraments, to his people; |
|
7 |
and the seventh sacrament is the anointing of the sick, that they be strengthened and comforted — again by the laying on of hands and anointing by holy oil — to realize the help and healing of the Lord Jesus in our lives." |
