The Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church

The Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church are:

1. Baptism
2. Confirmation
3. Eucharist
4. Penance (Reconciliation)
5. Anointing of the Sick
6. Matrimony
7. Holy Orders

Each of these sacraments are visible signs of the invisible grace that were instituted by Jesus Christ and available through the Church. The grace of the sacraments is a free and undeserved gift of God's life. Through the sacraments are are united with God.

One way of thinking about the seven sacraments is to categorize them into three groups:

The Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist

"The faithful are born anew by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life. By means of these sacraments of Christian initiation, they thus receive in increasing measure the treasures of the divine life and advance toward the perfection of charity." (CCC, 1212)

The Sacraments of Healing: Penance/Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick

"The Lord Jesus Christ, physician of our souls and bodies, who forgave the sins of the paralytic and restored him to bodily health,3 has willed that his Church continue, in the power of the Holy Spirit, his work of healing and salvation, even among her own members. This is the purpose of the two sacraments of healing: the sacrament of Penance and the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick." (CCC, 1421)

The Sacraments at the Service of Communion: Matrimony, Holy Orders

"Two other sacraments, Holy Orders and Matrimony, are directed towards the salvation of others; if they contribute as well to personal salvation, it is through service to others that they do so. They confer a particular mission in the Church and serve to build up the People of God." (CCC, 1534)

I was under the impression that Christ's sacrifice was the sacrifice to end all sacrifices.

I am a Catholic but I can only locate two verses of scripture in the new covenant that Jesus mandated that is the ordination of the Lord's Supper and Baptism. Please state to me the other 5 sacraments verses which I couldn't locate. Thank you.

I’m trying to find god but am a bit lost on all of this stuff. I’m a baptized catholic but I’m not sure how to interpret the scope of religion. Life needs to change for me and I am trying to find God along the way.

[cyborgninja]

Catholicism has a more evangelical character than people give it credit for. Good video.

If God knows everything, why go through a priest?
My "priest " turned out to be inappropriate with children. As a child, I told my sins to a "father, " and he told me to do 10 hail marys and 1 our fathers. While he had sins of his own
