    There are seven sacraments in the Catholic Church: Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, Penance and Reconciliation, and Holy Orders. The sacraments are visible rites instituted by Jesus that are efficacious channels of God's grace. They are organized into three groups - initiation, healing, and service. Baptism is the door to the other sacraments and washes away original sin. The Eucharist allows Catholics to partake of Christ's body and blood. Confirmation seals one with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

    SEVEN SACREMENTS

    There are seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, which according to Catholic
    theology were instituted by Jesus and entrusted to the Church. Sacraments are visible rites seen
    as signs and efficacious channels of the grace of God to all those who receive them with the
    proper disposition. The sevenfold list of sacraments is often organized into three groups:
    the sacraments of initiation -consisting of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist; the
    sacraments of healing, consisting of Penanceand Anointing of the Sick; and the sacraments of
    service: Holy Orders and Matrimony.

    1) Baptism- The Catholic Church sees baptism as the first and basic sacrament of Christian
    initiation.[14] In the Western or Latin Church, baptism is usually conferred today by
    pouring water three times on the recipient's head, while reciting the baptismal formula: "I
    baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"Baptism is
    the sacrament of salvation and door to all other sacramant.
    2) Eucharist- The Eucharist, also called the Blessed Sacrament, is the sacrament by which
    Catholics partake of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and participate in his one
    sacrifice. Those who prtake of th Eucharist recieves the real body ,Blood,Soul and
    Divinity of Christ in what appears to be a bread and wine during Mass.It is a daily
    process.
    3) Confirmation- The rite of Confirmation is anointing the forehead with chrism(Holy oil),
    together with the laying on of the minister's hands and the words, "Be sealed with the Gift
    of the Holy Spirit." The recipient receives the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom,
    understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord .
    4) THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK-. given to seriously ill Christians, and the special
    graces received unite the sick person to the passion of Christ. The Sacrament consists of
    the anointing of the forehand and hands of the person with blessed oil,by the minister.
    5) Matrimony- This sacrament, seen as a sign of the love uniting Christ and the Church,
    establishes between the spouses a permanent and exclusive bond, sealed by God. The
    sacrament of marriage gives the couple the grace to grow into a union of heart and soul,
    to continue life, and to provide stability for themselves and their children. Children are
    the fruit and bond of a marriage.
    6)Penance and Reconciliation (Confession)- It is the sacrament of spiritual healing of a baptized
    person from the distancing from God resulting from sins committed. The priest is bound by the
    "seal of confession", which is inviolable,acts as a visible representative of Christ who forgives
    sins through Him.
    7)Holy orders- Holy Orders is the Sacrament by which a man is made a bishop, a priest, or
    a deacon, and thus dedicated to be an image of Christ.It is done through Bishop”s laying on of
    hands and prayers – they are given the grace to live out their lives in tht service to tht church.
