In the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, we receive an outpouring of God’s grace to strengthen us to face suffering and sickness and even death that results from Original Sin.
At Jesus’ Baptism, the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus and God the Father spoke from Heaven.
Baptism is the foundation of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit.
Jesus’ death on the Cross and Resurrection made it possible for us to go to Heaven.
Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit after Him to teach us everything, to remind us of all that Christ said to us, and to bear witness to Him.
The scriptural basis, matter, form, minister, and effects of the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.
Baptism is the first Sacrament we receive. It makes us members of the Church, forgives our sins, and gives us new life in Christ.
The effects of Baptism are the forgiveness of sins, becoming a new creature, becoming a member of the Church, forming bonds of Christian unity, and imprinting an indelible mark on the soul.
Jesus said that when people come together to pray using His name, He is actually with them listening, helping, and praying with them too.
