Sacraments

Through the sacraments, God shares His holiness with us so that we, in turn, can make the world holier.


The seven sacraments — Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion, Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the Anointing of the Sick — are the life of the Catholic Church. All of the sacraments were instituted by Christ Himself, and each is an outward sign of an inward grace. When we participate in them worthily, each provides us with graces — with the life of God in our soul. In worship, we give to God that which we owe Him; in the sacraments, He gives us the graces necessary to live a truly human life.

 

Note: The Rite of Christian Burial is not a Sacrament.

Information regarding the Rite of Christian Burial can be found here.
The funeral is "the last farewell by which the Christian community greets one of its members before his body is brought to its tomb." (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1690)
