Catechism series - Seven Sacraments

There are many things we need to know as Catholics. One of them are the seven Sacraments.
The Catholic Church has been entrusted with seven Sacraments by Christ. They are efficacious signs of grace that are preceptible to the senses. They are efficacious because it is Christ who works through them. They are perceptible because we can see, feel or smell them.

What are the seven Sacraments?
  1. Baptism
  2. Eucharist
  3. Reconciliation
  4. Confirmation
  5. Marriage
  6. Holy Orders
  7. Annointing of the Sick
The Sacraments may be categorized as such:

Sacraments of Initiation
  1. Baptism
  2. Eucharist
  3. Confirmation
Sacraments of Healing
  1. Reconciliation
  2. Annointing of the sick
Sacraments of Christian Vocation
  1. Marriage

I will stop here for now. Next time I will detail each Sacrament one by one. Until then, God be with you.
