7 Sacraments


There exist seven catholic sacraments. “Sacraments are outward signs of inward grace, instituted by Christ for our sanctification” according to http://www.gotquestions.org/seven-Catholic-sacraments.html. The seven sacraments go as follows:



Baptism- People are purified through the means of water
Penance- Individuals are freed of sins committed after Baptism
Eucharist- The celebration of bread and wine being turned into the body and blood of Christ as well as the celebration of mass.
Confirmation- Strengthens bond between one’s soul and God.
Matrimony- Unification of man and woman.
Holy Orders- Vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments.
Anointing of the Sick- Spiritual and physical strength during an illness
