2. Difference between Sacraments and
Sacramentals
Sacramentals only have potential for giving us grace and that we must be properly
disposed to receive such graces from God.
Sacramentals are not sacraments.
Sacraments were instituted directly by Christ Himself, while
Sacramentals are instituted by the Church.
This means that they do not have the same type of saving grace as the seven sacraments.
Instead, they convey grace through the “work and prayers of the Church”
(ex opere operantis Ecclesiae) and “by the work of the doer” ex opere operantis.

3. The constitution on the liturgy dedicates an entire chapter to the sacraments and
sacramentals.
In Article 59, the purpose of the sacraments is to make people holy, building up
the body of Christ and giving worship to God.
This means that sacraments sent ecclesial community worshiping God and
teaching the faithful.
However, to fully obtain the effects of the sacraments the faithful should receive
the sacraments with faith and understanding.
Because as sacraments of faith, they presuppose and at the same time nourish the
faith of those who received them and also they consist of signs by which their
nature and purpose are manifested

4. Article 60 of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy
The Holy Mother Church has, In addition instituted
sacramental that signifies effects, spiritual effects, which are
obtained through her intercession.
For sacramental disposes people to receive chief effects and
even leading to receive them fruitfully.

5. SACRAMENTS
Therefore, in the Article 61 of the Constitution concludes
that for the Faithful, the effects of the liturgy of
sacraments and sacramental is to make their lives holy
by the divine grace which flows from the paschal
mystery
SACRAMENTALS

6. SACRAMENTS
The sacraments are efficient signs of grace, instituted by Christ and
entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us.
They were instituted to be celebrated and they are liturgical fits
consisting of proclaimed texts, gestures and symbols ref of material
things.
The Catechism reaffirms the teaching that the Church celebrates the
sacraments as a priestly community structured by the baptismal
priesthood and the priesthood of the ordained minister which is deeply
anchors in Christ who is always present in the Church associating her
with himself in his priestly office especially in the liturgy.

7. Sacrament of Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism has the first rank
among the Seven Holy Sacraments, as it is the
door by which the believer enters the church
and has the right to partake in the rest of the
Sacraments.

• the gateway to life in the Spirit
• the door which gives access to the other
sacraments
By Baptism we are born Into a new creation.

8. Sacrament of Confirmation
The essential rite of confirmation is the
anointing of the sacred Chrism, the oil mixed
with balsam and consecrated by the bishop
which is done by laying on of the hand of the
minister who pronounces the sacramental
words proper to the rite.
The effects of confirmation is a special
outpouring of the Holy Spirit like what
happen during the Pentecost.

9. Sacrament of Holy Communion

life.

Church that is Jesus Christ.

united with the liturgy of heaven. and we
have a foretaste of eternal life.

10. Sacrament of Penance and
Reconciliation

Reconciliation, because it imparts to the
sinner the love of God to whom we
reconcile.
It leads us to God's grace and mercy.

an intimate friendship.

11. Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick

forgiveness for their sins and comfort in
their suffering, they are restored in spirit;
and sometimes they even experience the
return of physical health.
It also marks that God wants to give
comfort to the suffering and wants them
to relieve suffering where they can.

12. Sacrament of Holy Orders
Holy Orders is the sacrament by which
bishops, priests and deacons are ordained
and receive the power and grace to perform
their sacred duties.
The sacred rite by which orders are conferred
is called ordination.
This sacrament instituted by Christ himself, is
administered by the laying on of hands by
the Bishop-though which the priest is given
the power to serve through the church
through his preaching, teaching and
celebration of the Sacraments.

13. Sacrament of Holy Matrimony
Their mutual love is a reminder of the love of Jesus
Christ. By the grace of this sacrament, they become
able to love one another as Christ loved them. As a
married couple, they become a visible sign and
reminder of Christ's love for each other and for all
people.
Tradition, Considers marriage between two baptized
persons to be Sacrament - a sign and source of
grace-God's life-giving Spirit Love.

sacred commitment that calls a man and a woman
to each other in the most profound and permanent
