Review - Sacraments Matrimony (marriage, wedding) Sacrament that gives a couple the grace to love each other Together, a married couple help each other to: Raise children Build up the Church and society Sacrament of Service (the other is Holy Orders) 1 man & 1 woman commit to love & serve one another

Review - Sacraments Reconciliation (also called Penance or Confession) God forgives sins committed after Baptism (absolution) We are reconciled with him and the Church Sacrament of Healing (the other is Anointing of the Sick) Three requirements: We must be truly sorry (contrition) We must confess the sin to a priest – represents Jesus We must do penance – show God how sorry we are

Review - Sacraments Baptism (also called Christening) Sacrament of Initiation (with Eucharist & Confirmation) Frees us from sin Become children of God Become members of Christ and his Church Share in the Church’s mission (Love, Teach, Heal) Seals a Christian with an indelible spiritual mark as belonging to Christ This sacrament can only be received once

Review - Sacraments Eucharist (also called Communion) Means “thanksgiving” Reminds us that Jesus sacrificed his life for us Bread and wine transformed into Jesus’s body and blood (transubstantiation) Not just a symbol, but the real thing! We must be in a state of grace Not aware of mortal sin on your soul

Review - Sacraments Anointing of the Sick Strengthens those who are ill Sacrament of Healing (Reconciliation is the other) Receive grace to bear suffering and fight illness Reduces anxiety and fear Receive grace to unite self to Jesus’ suffering & death Gives strength for the final journey

Review - Sacraments Confirmation Completes baptismal grace Strengthens us with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit (PUCKWFF) Sacrament of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist) Marks the soul with an indelible mark Confirmation can only be received once

Review - Sacraments Holy Orders (also called “Ordination”) Man becomes a representative of Jesus Three degrees Episcopate – bishops Presbyterate – priests Diaconate – deacons Empowered to perform Sacraments

What is “Liturgy”? Liturgy (LIT-er-jee) is the Church’s official public worship First and foremost it refers to the celebration of the Eucharist It also includes the other sacraments Rituals in which we meet Christ and receive grace Liturgy originally meant “a public work” or a service on behalf of the people For us it means our participation in the work of God We (the Church) are God’s people and his tools to make the world holy

What is the function of the liturgical year? 8.04.01 What is the function of the liturgical year? During the course of the liturgical year, the Church explores the entire life of Christ

What are the four special signs of the bishop? 8.04.02 What are the four special signs of the bishop? Miter – The tall headdress, worn at liturgical functions Crosier – The shepherd's staff Pectoral Cross – A cross worn around the neck Episcopal Ring – A ring representing his office

8.04.03 Explain what is meant by: “The Eucharist is the Source and Summit of Christian life.” In the Eucharist, God’s sanctification of us and our worship of him reach their high point. Eucharist is: Thanksgiving and praise to the Father; Sacrificial memorial of Christ and his Body; Representation of Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection; and the Real Presence of Christ by the power of his Word and of his Spirit.
