Content: Marriage
The Sacrament of Marriage unites a Christian man in woman in holy matrimony that cannot be dissolved by human power. It is seen as a sign of the love that comes from God and that God has for His creation. “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ [a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ [b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” ~ Matthew 19:4-6
Holy Orders
Through the Sacrament of Holy Orders or Ordination, priests, bishops, or ministers of the Church are ordained. Thus, they receive the sacred power or grace to perform their sacred duties and to act in persona Christi. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ~ Matthew 28:19-20
Anointing of the Sick
Anointing of the Sick was previously known as Extreme Unction or Last Rites.
