SACRAMENTOS - DEFINICIONES BAJO _d04a07d8-92b6c1-3423
Roman Catholics have 7 sacraments. A "sacrament," according to the Baltimore Catechism, is "an outward sign, instituted by Christ, to give grace."
The sacraments have the power of giving grace from the merits of Jesus Christ. Some of the Sacraments give santifying grace, and others increase it in our souls.
Baptism and Reconciliation give sanctifying grace because they take away the stain of sin on our souls. Holy Communion, Confirmation, Matrimony, Holy Orders, and the Anointing of the Sick increases sanctifying grace because those who receive them worthily are already living the life of grace.
The Sacraments always give grace, if we receive them with the right dispositions.

RECONCILIATION
Reconciliation (also known as confession and Penance): Penance is a Sacrament in which the sins committed after baptism are forgiven. Penance remits sins and restores the friendship of God to the soul by means of the absolution of the priest. We know that the priest has the power of absolving from the sins committed after baptism, because Jesus Christ granted that power to the priests of His Church when he said: "Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained."
To receive the Sacrament of Penance worthily we must do five things:
* We must examine our conscience.
* We must have sorrow for our sins.
* We must make a firm resolution never more to offend God.
* We must confess our sins to the priest.
* We must accept the penance which the priest gives us.
The examination of conscience is an earnest effort to recall to mind all the sins we have committed since our last worthy confession. before beginning the examination of conscience we should pray to God to give us light to know our sins and grace to detest them. We can make a good examination of conscience by calling to memory the commandments of God, the precepts of the Church, the seven capital sins, and the particular duties of our state in life, to find out the sins we have committed.
HOLY COMMUNION
Holy Communion (Holy Eucharist) is the Sacrament which contains the body and blood soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread and wine. Christ instituted the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper, the night before He died. When our Lord instituted the the Holy Eucharist the twelve Apostles were present. Our Lord instituted the Holy Eucharist by taking bread, blessing, breaking, and giving it to His Apostles, saying: Take ye and eat. This is My body; then by taking the cup of wine, blessing and giving it, saying to them: Drink ye all of this. This is My blood which shall be shed for the remission of Sins. Do this for a commemoration of Me. When our Lord said, This is My body, the substance of the bread was changed into the substance of His body; when He said, This is My blood, the substance of the wine was changed into the substance of His blood.
Jesus Christ is whole and entire both under the form of bread and under the form of wine. After the substance of the bread and wine had been changed into the substance of the body and blood of our Lord there remained only the appearances of bread and wine, which means that visibly, and to all our senses, the bread and wine looked and tasted the same as before it was consecrated. The substance of the bread and wine was changed into the substance of the body and blood of Christ by His almighty power.
This change of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ continues to be made in the Church by Jesus Christ through the ministry of His priests. Christ gave His priests the power to change bread and wine into His body and blood when He said to the Apostles, Do this in commemoration of Me. The priests exercise this power of changing bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ through the words of consecration in the Mass, which are the words of Christ: This is My body; this is My blood.

In anointing the person he confirms the bishop says: I sign thee with the señal de la cruz, y te confirmo con el crisma de salvación, en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo.
Por la unción de la frente con el crisma en forma de cruz se quiere decir, que el cristiano que se confirma debe profesar y practicar abiertamente su fe, no avergonzarse nunca de y preferiría morir antes que negarlo.

HOLY MATRIMONIO

ANOINTING OF THE SICK
Anointing of the sick (formerly known as Extreme Unction of Last Rites): Extreme Unction is the Sacrament which, through the anointing and prayer of the priest, gives health and strength to the soul, and sometimes to the body, when we are in danger of death from sickness.
We should receive Extreme Unction when we are in danger of death from sickness, or from a wound or accident. We should not wait until we are in extreme danger before we receive Extreme Unction, but if possible we should receive it whilst we have the use of our senses.
The effects of Extreme Unction are:
* To comfort us int eh pains of sickness and to strengthen us against temptation;
* To remit venial sins and to cleanse our soul fromthe remains of sin;
* To restore us to health, when God sees fit.
By the remains of sin we mean the inclination to evil and the weakness of the will which are the result of our sins, and which remain after our sins have been forgiven. We should receive the Sacrament of Extreme Unction in the state of grace, and with lively faith and resignation to the will of God.
