A The Councils of Lyons and Florence taught there are only seven sacraments, the ones we know today. The Council of Trent reiterated this teaching in response to Protestant rejection of some of the sacraments. So why only seven? When we look at this definition, the number of sacraments become clearer. For instance, baptism was instituted by Christ to convey grace and divine life.
Other rituals, such as Jesus washing the feet of his apostles, were established by Christ but do not convey grace, so they are not sacraments. This sacrament is for those who choose to become a priest, bishop or deacon.
Through ordination, they are able to perform sacred duties and serve the church community. Events like first communion are exciting and deserve special gifts. Tools like a rosary, Bible, prayer journal and cross can assist you in practicing your faith. If you know anyone about to partake in a sacrament or looking for tools to nourish their faith, consider blessing them in their journey with special religious gifts.
It will be a keepsake that will stay with them as their faith continues to deepen. Spring is right around the corner and with that comes Easter!

What are the seven sacraments? What is a sacrament? Where did the sacraments originate? The Sacraments of Initiation The three sacraments of initiation are baptism, confirmation and Eucharist. Baptism Baptism is the first sacrament where you become united with Christ and the Church — no other sacrament can be received without it.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Matthew And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. Acts , 33 Confirmation This is the sacrament that follows Baptism as part of the initiation process with God and the Church, where the candidate receives the gift of the Holy Spirit and continues their journey with Christ.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ?
Is not the bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.
