What are the seven sacraments?

Question

Can you also follow with a brief discription of each one of the sacraments

Answer 1

The Seven Catholic Sacraments:
The Latin word sacramentum means "a sign of the sacred." The seven sacraments are ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant and important for Christians. They are special occasions for experiencing God's saving presence. That's what theologians mean when they say that sacraments are at the same time signs and instruments of God's grace.
Baptism - For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.
Eucharist - Catholics believe the Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.
Reconciliation - The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as the Sacrament of Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness, and as a result we are called to forgive others.
Confirmation - Confirmation is a Catholic sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. Like Baptism and Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament of faith in God's fidelity to us.
Marriage - For Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God's values.
Holy Orders - In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, or Ordination, the priest being ordained vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to holiness.
Anointing of the Sick - The Catholic sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness.

6 Holy Orders
7 Matrimony

Answer 3

What interests me is the following facts: Baptism and Marriage, by and large, are the only valid Sacraments outside the Church. Baptism and Marriage are also the only Sacraments that can be received without the assistance of an ordained priest. Holy Communion, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Holy Orders, and Annoiting of the Sick - all require a valid priesthood to administer. Most non-Catholic denominations do not have a valid priesthood. They also lack the five Sacraments that require a valid priesthood. This is neither an accident nor it is a coincidence.

Answer 4

Excerpted for educational purposes---because several so-called Christians have been getting my posts deleted because the notice wasn't on Ask or Answer.

Answer 6

Baptism, Reconciliation, Holy Communion, Confirmation, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick, Mirage. Good question. I am happy you want to know
Baptism- have to receive because of Adam and Eve's original sin. We are not able to recevie any sacrament before Baptism

Reconcilliation- We confess our sins to the priest who is really Jesus.

Holy Communion- We recieve the one true Lord. The Host use to be a normal peice of bread but at the Consercratoin the priest turned it into the Body blood soul and Divinty of Jesus

Confirmation- We become full members of the church and Recieve the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit Wisdom, Knowledge, Uderstanding, Counsel, Piety, Fortitude, Fear of the Lord.

Holy Orders- When a man makes his final vows as a decon and is ordained a priest by the Bishop

Mirage- When a man and a woman vow to truly love each other for the rest of their lives

Anointing of the Sick- When you are about ready to go into a serious sergery or on your death bed you may recive this sacrament. You do not have to be on your death bed to recive this sacrament.

Answer 7

The two most widely accepted sacraments are Baptism and the Eucharist; although several traditions include five others: Confirmation (Chrismation in the Orthodox tradition), ordination, Reconciliation of a Penitent (confession), Anointing of the Sick, and Matrimony. Taken together, these are the Seven Sacraments as recognised by churches in the Catholic tradition.

Answer 8

Baptism (water), communion (Lord's supper--partaking of the bread and wine), holy orders (this is for those who go into the priesthood), matrimony, reconciliation (forgiveness of sin), sacrament for the sick (anoiting the forehead with oil in the shape of a cross according to the Bible which says that the sick should call upon elders to anoint them with oil), and the last one is confirmation.

Incidentally, protestants generally only have only two sacraments, baptism and communion, and they are VERY divided as to how they are received/administered. Some baptize infants and adults by immersion, sprinkling, or pouring. Some baptize only adults and older children and/or only by immersion. They have even more differences with communion. Some abstain completely from alcoholic communion wine and opt for grape juice, and others use wine and believe in the "real presence" (which is that the real body of Christ is present in the elements).
