    The 7 Sacraments and Morality

    The Seven Sacraments help us to remember that Christ, whom we encounter through the life of the
    Church, is the Sacrament of salvation. Through the Sacraments we remember the life, ministry, and
    message of Jesus, and we celebrate his risen presence and saving power as it is made real in our lives.
    Here is the brief summary of each Sacrament and its connection to the moral life.
    The 7 Sacraments and Morality

    BAPTISM
    Through the sanctifying grace received at Baptism we are
    welcomed into the Christian community, our sins –
    original and personal - are forgiven, and we are
    spiritually reborn as a child of God. Our baptism is the
    beginning of our Christian moral journey, and through it
    we receive the grace we need to turn our lives toward
    God and be faithful to his Commandments.

    CONFIRMATION
    Through Confirmation the grace received at Baptism is
    perfected, strengthening our bond with the Church and
    enriching our lives with an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We
    experience a growth in the Gifts of the Spirit to help us to
    live virtuous lives in loving service to others in the name of
    Christ.

    EUCHARIST
    The Eucharist is the source and summit of the moral life.
    Listening to the Word of God and receiving the Body and
    Blood of Christ nourishes and strengthens us to resist
    temptation and to make the sacrifices needed to share
    Christ’s love and justice with the world. And we also bring
    our efforts at living virtuously to the Eucharist and offer them
    to God the Father in union with the sacrifice of Jesus, his
    Son.

    PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION


    We will not be perfect in all our moral choices. Through the
    Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation we receive the
    grace of God’s forgiveness, cleansing us from our sin and
    releasing us from shame and guilt. The Sacrament reconciles
    us with God and with the Church.

    ANOINTING OF THE SICK


    Through the grace received in the anointing of the sick, our
    suffering is united with Christ’s passion. We regain mental
    and physical health if that is God’s will, and we are prepared
    for our death if that be his will. The Sacrament strengthens
    us to continue living virtuously even amid illness and physical
    suffering.

    MATRIMONY
    The grace received in the Sacrament of Matrimony helps a
    husband and wife to live the vocation of Christian marriage
    virtuously. It helps them to be faithful to each other in
    marriage and to be open to the gift of children. The
    sacrament helps them to guide and educate their children to
    follow God’s commandments.

    HOLY ORDER
    The grace received in the Sacrament of Holy Orders helps
    bishops, priests, and deacons to live their clerical vocations
    virtuously. It enables them to live chastely and to love and
    serve God’s people with all their heart and soul. The
    Sacrament helps them to be an example of moral living for
    the People of God and to guide his people into holiness.
    If we truly wish to live virtuous lives, we must participate in the
    sacramental life of the Church. Christ gave these Sacraments to the
    Church for our benefit, as an aid to living a holy life. If we desire and
    are open to the graces they provide, our moral journey will greatly
    benefit.
    Summary of Sacraments

    Every Christian has a vocation or calling to become holy and to spread the
    Good News of Jesus Christ. Through
    + Baptism and Confirmation, we are consecrated to share in the common
    priesthood of all, God’s people.
    + Catholicism celebrates two particular vocations as well in the sacraments of
    Matrimony and Holy Orders. Termed as the sacraments at the service of
    communion, they consecrate people to special roles of service in the Body of
    Christ.
