How is Christian initiation brought about?

 

Christian initiation is accomplished by means of the sacraments which establish the foundations of Christian life.

The faithful born anew by Baptism are strengthened by Confirmation and are then nourished by the Eucharist.

 

Why did Christ institute the sacraments of Penance and the Anointing of the Sick?

Christ, the physician of our soul and body, instituted these sacraments because the new life that

he gives us in the sacraments of Christian initiation can be weakened and even lost because of sin.

Therefore, Christ willed that his Church should continue his work of healing and salvation by

means of these two sacraments.

 

 What are the sacraments at the service of communion and mission?

Two sacraments, Holy Orders and Matrimony, confer a special grace for a particular mission in the Church

to serve and build up the People of God. These sacraments contribute in a special way to ecclesial communion

and to the salvation of others.
