and entrusted to the Church.
THE SACRAMENTS
The Sacraments are signs and means

by which:
 faith is expressed and
strengthened,

St. Ireneus said that man is

restored to his dignity as
image of God through the
reception of the sacraments.
Thus, sacraments are really


necessary to restore man to

his dignity because they
sanctify human beings.
Descriptive definition of the Ritual Sacraments:

 An encounter with the

Risen Christ.
 They draw us into
Christ’s Paschal mystery
Descriptive definition of the Ritual Sacraments:

 They involve our active faith,

within the context of the
Christian community, the
Church.
 They are empowered by the
Holy Spirit. (NNCDP, 303)

EXPLAIN HOW DO WE
ENCOUNTER CHRIST
THROUGH ANY OF THE
SACRAMENT?
1. Firstly, faith is a necessary
component for fruitful
celebration of the sacraments –
to deny this would be reducing
sacraments to pure external
ritual.
2. Secondly, defining sacraments as
symbolic acts means they are more real ,
not less real, than mere physical acts.
Receiving the Eucharistic host as the bread
of life is possible only for believers who
recognize the host as the material symbol
which makes sacramentally present the
Risen Christ.
INITIATION
SACRAMENTS
(Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist)
The Sacrament of Baptism
Scriptural text:
“We are free from sin, We are now under grace.”
(1 Cor. 6:15)
“When you were the servants of sin, you felt no obligation to
uprightness and what did you gain from living like that? Experiences
of which you are now ashamed, for that sorts of behavior end in
death. But now you are set free from sin and bound to the service of
God. Your gain will be sanctification and the end will be eternal life.
For the wage paid by sin is death; the gift freely given by God is
eternal life by Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rm. 6: 20-23)
“So by our baptism into his death we were buried with Him, so that
as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power,
we too should begin living a new life.” (Rm. 6:4)
 The Sacrament of Baptism:
 “Baptism, the gateway to the sacraments, is necessary for
salvation, either by actual reception or at least by desire.
 By it people are:

 freed from sins,

 are born again as children of God
 made like to Christ by an indelible character,
 and are incorporated into the Church.

 It is validly conferred only by a washing in real water with

the proper form of words.” (Canon Law, 849)
 Baptism is an initiation sacrament because through it
we will be able to receive the other sacraments.
 Through it we become children of God (Basic
Catechism, 167). The original sin was cleansed from us
and we were born again into new life.
 It brought us to the dignity that our first parents had

lost for us.

 It breaks the bond of sin which chains man to death.
 Baptism, of itself, is the beginning, for it is directed
towards the acquiring of fullness of life in Christ.
 It is thus ordered to the profession of faith, to the full
integration into the economy of salvation and to the
Eucharistic communion.
 Baptism involves conversion, faith, the remission of
sin, and the gift of grace.
 The institution of the sacrament of Baptism

 This sacrament of baptism was instituted at

the moment Christ was baptized by John
the Baptist.
 When the water of John’s baptism touched
Christ at that moment water itself was
sanctified and received, through Christ, the
power to sanctify the souls of men.
 The matter of Baptism is the action of

cleansing power of water and the Spirit.

Baptism of Christ (c. 1665), by
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.
 The Sacrament of baptism and the Image of God

 A person who was baptized was reborn into the

son/daughter of God.
 The image of God was recapitulated in him/her. He
received sanctifying grace that made him new person with
dignity which is above all creatures.
 This is the importance of the sacrament of baptism because
it brings back the dignity which was lost by sin.
 and it gives sanctifying grace of renewing a person into new
creation, born again into the image of God.
 It is a healing grace for it restores and elevates man to
divine sonship.
 It makes man share in the very nature of
God. It constitutes man as co-heir with Christ
himself, called to receive God’s own life.
 A genuine rebirth in the constitution of a new

creature, of temple really inhabited by the

Spirit of God himself, of a human being who is
anointed and sealed with the Spirit and
born of God.”
 How is the sacrament of Baptism celebrated?

 The essential rite of baptism

consists in:
 immersing the candidate in
water or pouring water on his
head, (CNS photo/Vatican Media)
while pronouncing the invocation
of the Most Holy Trinity: “I baptize
you in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit.”
https://www.timothypauljones.com/church-history-when-did-
churches-stop-baptizing-by-immersion/
Who can Baptize?

 The ordinary ministers of Baptism are the bishop and

priest and also the deacon.
 In case of necessity, anyone, even non-baptized

person, with the required intention, can baptize, by using

the Trinitarian baptismal formula.
 The intention required is to do what the Church does
when she baptizes. The Church finds the reason for this
possibility in the universal saving will of God and
necessity of Baptism for salvation. (Catechism of the
Catholic Church, 1256)
The matter and Form of the sacrament of baptism

 Water is the matter of the sacrament of

baptism.
 The form is the formula uttered by the minister
while pouring the water on the head of the
one being baptized “I baptize you in the
name of the Father, and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit”.

The Sacrament of Confirmation
 What is the sacrament of Confirmation?

 “The Sacrament of Confirmation confers a character.

 By it the baptized continue their path of Christian

initiation.
 They are enriched with the gift of the Holy Spirit,

 and they are more closely linked to the Church.

 They are made strong and more firmly obliged by

word and deed to witness to Christ and to spread and
defend the faith.”
 The Celebration of Confirmation
 “The sacrament of confirmation is conferred by anointing with chrism on the
forehead in a laying on of hands, and by the words prescribed in the approved
liturgical books: “I sign you with the sign of the cross, and I confirm you with the
Chrism of salvation, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit.”.
 The Chrism or Holy Oil to be used in the sacrament of confirmation must have
been consecrated by a bishop, even when the sacrament is administered by a
priest.
 It is desirable that the sacrament of confirmation be celebrated in a church and
indeed during Mass. However, for a just and reasonable cause it may be
celebrated apart from Mass and in any fitting place.
The Effects of Confirmation

 Confirmation increases sanctifying grace,

 It confers actual graces, and a special sacramental

grace,
 and it imprints a lasting character on the soul.

 To receive confirmation properly, it is necessary to

be in the state of grace, and to know well the chief

truths and duties of our religion.”

receive-the-sacrament-of-confirmation-75f143be51f9
The Recipient of the Sacrament of Confirmation

A candidate for Confirmation:

who has attained the age of reason
must profess the faith,
be in the state of grace,
 have the intention of receiving the sacrament,
and be prepared to assume the role of disciple and
witness to Christ, both within the ecclesial
community and in temporal affairs.
The Matter and Form of Sacrament of Confirmation

 The matter of the sacrament of Confirmation is

the Chrism.
 The Form is the prescribed words uttered by
the Bishop while administering the chrism on
the forehead of the candidate: “I sign you with
the sign of the cross, and I confirm you with
the Chrism of salvation, in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

Final Points
 Confirmation is the sacrament by which those born anew in baptism
now receive the seal of the Holy Spirit, the gift of the Father and
the Son.
 Confirmation, as the sealing of the candidate with the Spirit is linked
with the other sacraments of Christian initiation, baptism and the
Eucharist.
 Religious instruction should emphasize the idea of initiation and
explain the sealing of the Spirit as preparation for the witness of a
mature Christian life, and for the apostolate of living in the world
and extending and defending the faith.

Reflection Points:
1. Have you experienced responding to a difficult call of service? What
was it?
2. Are you one of those who claim that you are a follower of Jesus? If so,
how do you show to others that you are indeed a disciple of Jesus?
3. If the FOLLOWERS of Jesus will be convicted by non-believers at this
very moment, will they have ENOUGH EVIDENCE against you? What
will be the hard evidence/s against you? Can they prove that you are
really a follower of Jesus?
